I am going to pull out two interesting sentences from your piece: So i just learned that people really think all Black people live in the hood and that I should be grateful where I am because not everyone has the luxury I got. I replied in laughter ” In a brownstone, and yesss we own it.” She then looks at me with that “Ohhh Okayyyy” expression. Chassidy then proceed to say ” dont you also live in the hood”. Then they begin talking about their struggles growing up and as their listing these struggles they’re all like ” yeaaaaa i remember those ” or ” yeaaaa i used to hate having to do that” and they realize I cant really relate, so they’re confused on how im not able to relate. So we begin talking about the neighborhoods we live in just relating and vibing. So this specific day me and my 3 other friends Marquese, Chassidy, and Teanna had finished our college business for the day. We sat at rectangular tables that would fit 4 people comfortably. This class had alot of windows that were like Four and a half feet tall, and we would open them for air because the air conditioner in that class would not work. It was senior year, during 6th period we had a dedicated class to work on college stuff. That wasn’t the only time that happened though. So they then reply ” OHHHH you Rich.” I begin to laugh because in my head im saying ” bruh im not rich, im just regular” but to them me living in a brownstone was RICH. I replied ” ohh nahhh I don’t live in the projects I live in a brownstone, my room is on the third floor.” They begin to look at me in shock, and thats what opened my eyes that a lot of people think all Black people live in the hood or the projects. So Adrian and Ruben go ahead and say where they live, and I stated ” Oh yall live mad close to me.” They proceed to ask ” oh word what projects/buildings you live in” because they as well lived in the projects. So it was me and my boys, Adrian, Michael, and Ruben talking about what we plan on doing that summer of 2018 and where each other live. ![]() It was like 85 degrees outside so the class was hot but not too hot because of the air conditioner. We were in science class sitting at grey long styled tables, these tables sat two people each and we were just relaxing talking in class. In Middle School this took place toward the end of 8th Grade year. Once in Middle School and once in High School. This situation has happened more then once.
