Currently Reading: Black AF History
I have seen this book all over social media and decided to get my hands on it to see what it is all about. So far I have learned in this book history more in detail than what they have taught me in school. School taught me the overall picture, this book is teaching me the breakdown. So far, so good

This image contrasts a non-Black person 'acting Black' with a Black person facing stereotypes. The non-Black person is depicted with hip-hop attire and slang, while the Black person is labeled 'Thug,' 'Ghetto,' and 'Troublemaker,' highlighting the double standard and the message 'It's not a costume. It's my life.'
