    Maybe sheltered isn’t the right word.

    You grew up in a nurturing home.

    Everyone didn’t have that luxury, and many grew up to be assholes.

      I watched my father try to kill my mother and was on the streets at 16. Nice try

      I don’t say that in a mean way. I will not pretend to know your story. I can’t. Especially those who are poc( I don’t know yours and am not trying to be personal so I’m not asking )

      What I’m saying is I can’t understand a poc’s full experience. I’ll never have to tell my kid to watch out for cops because of his skin color.

      I can, however, understand how others sink into the anger despair and rage. I know what it’s like to wake in a jail cell, I know what hardship really is.

      I also know that it is never overcome through cruelty. In fact that puts everyone, including the perpetrator, in a worse place.

      So again. We don’t have to be this shitty to each other.
