see?
I hope you do, because that's what (it seems like) everyone else sees, whether I look like that, or this:
which is actually how I look, more often than not. if not that, then preppy pastels in this season.
it doesn't matter, apparently.
the Trayvon Martin killing is really affecting me, even more than I thought it would when I heard about it weeks ago. it seems like a repudiation of the psychic gains black American males made on November 2, 2008. it FEELS like a deliberate "get back in your place, nigger!" to all those like me in this country.
the first pic I posted is what I'm wearing today, out of character, in solidarity with the Martin family, and all "suspicious" black men. I heard there was a "million hoodie" march today in NYC. if so I'm standing with them too.
