We all know about the social/political climate in America. There's now a Trump as president, police brutality is still a thing, women's rights have been snatched, our educational system is failing, and our government has begun to unravel. There is an air of hysteria and tension floating over this country right now, as you read this article. With all that is happening, one may wonder why I don't take to social media myself and voice my loud opinion along with everyone else. But at this time, I refuse, and I will tell you why.

Well one, before I can even think about posting, everyone else already has. This doesn't necessarily negate what I have to say, but more often than not, someone has already started a successful conversation about said topic. In about a total of four minutes, my newsfeeds are filled with people saying the same thing. I do share a lot of politically charged posts, but none of them are actual posts written by me. If you want to hear my opinion about anything, don't be scared. Just come to me and ask me!

Despite that point, although I care a lot about these sensitive topics, and I don't like to let myself be distracted, I also don't like to be miserable. No one does, so instead, I'll share some of the laughter and positivity I see throughout the day.

Also, guys, I am black. I am outraged, but I am not surprised. This country has a history of degrading and shortchanging people of color for centuries. While everyone else is finally seeing what's wrong with this country, we finally have more support in our movements for change. Things will change for the better and while it's extremely scary to watch the country you live in fall apart and have our rights snatched from us like the Second Coming, the rest of the country in turmoil can finally say and know the significance of "We Shall Overcome."
