When I was hurting because my intelligence, humanity, and competence in a classroom was questioned just for being black? They were snickering and cracking jokes, making me feel even more inadequate and worthless. And you know what? I could have reacted. Could have killed everyone in the room and gladly done the time for it…but it wasn’t worth it. I gritted my teeth and soldiered on.
And I continue to do so.
