nayrt but we all have different experiences and journeys we must take.

When I look back on my life, I realize just how racist the household I grew up in was. Oh, sure, there were certain thresholds we never passed - for example, don't use slurs to people's faces. But that didn't stop the adults from passing nasty ass racist jokes on to the children, or implying ugly things about a person due to their race. Honestly, I look back and wonder, why in the hell did they think that was remotely okay to say that about anyone, much less in front of child?

The only thing that may have saved me, oddly enough, was parental neglect. I was often alone and the TV was my babysitter. I found a variety of television shows, centered around people of all races. MTV gets a bad rap (though somewhat deserved) for not playing music anymore, but they also introduced me to LGBTQ folks and some of their struggles (though obviously, it was still a limited view for the audience). I got into comedians like George Carlin, who took a skeptical view on issues that society didn't seem to find problematic, or even notice.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying woke TV made me woke... I'm just saying, it planted a lot of seeds. I eventually ended up more woke with time, because I concluded it was better to be that way. But during that time, I misstepped a LOT, and maybe I still do sometimes. If someone had slapped a purity test on me, no question I would have failed it. And I'm not 100% sure I wouldn't have just gone the other way just to spite the purity asshole. I certainly hope I would be better about it now.

But yeah, we all have our own journeys.
