This just came up on my instagram: “The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It’s not about what you’re made of, not the circumstances”.
White people are the only people that post this inspirational shit that only pertains to them. Let’s just pause for a second. This is contradicting. So you’re saying it’s not what you’re made of, but let’s substitute potatoes with black people and eggs with white people. Of course y’all are gonna do great if you try hard enough, y’all have a shell that was built for this society. Y’all are gonna succeed exactly because of what you’re made of, the color of your skin. Meanwhile, you have black people, queer people, trans people, women, made of something this society constantly rejects, but you’re saying it’s not what you’re made of and it’s not the circumstances? STFU
