"As a white man, you can live your whole life never not fitting in. You never walk into a jewelry store that sees only your black skin. You never walk into a bar that only sees your boobs. To be whitie is to be wallpaper. You dont draw attention, good or bad. Still, what would it be like, to live with attention? To just let people stare. To let them fill in the blank, and asume what they will. To let people project some aspects of themselves on you for a whole day."

Do you really think to be whitie is to be wallpaper?
what do you think?

I think that people always stress too much about black and white, if you do something inappropiate or if you do something just for attention, your most likely going to get that attention that you want good or bad white or black.

Everyone can be seen, but some more than others.

meaning, a girl can have the biggest ass in the room and she stands out, a dude could be the talliest and stand out more than others, a black man could be the only person in the rooom full of white people and stand out or vise versa with a white man.

maybe im looking at it in the wrong view
