C'MON Breakfast Club, he is ALSO the great grandson of the Great Fats Waller, one of the greatest jazz musicians ever. I grew up on R&B and hip hop but I am also a jazz head. You could have asked him one question about his family history... just one about Fats Waller.💔

1000% can relate to that colorism and racism thing growing up and and dealing with feeling isolated cause of that. I still deal with that some to this day. People look at me weird when I say it but I’ve genuinely experienced just as much if not more racism and prejudice from black people( while being black) for being lightskin or not being “black enough” as I have from white people. The lil jokes and stuff are funny sometimes but I’ve literally been excluded and talked about by “my own people” time after time growing up for just being me and for doing/liking the things I like.

I was raised to speak articulately, but some people will tell me I “talk white”. I was raised to dress presentably at all times because you never know who you might bump into, but some will say I dress like I’m “from the suburbs”. I echo everything you’ve shared, and a part of me even at 30yo holds a grudge against my parents for raising me in a “white neighborhood”. But they were only trying to give me an upbringing that they dreamed of. Safety, comfort, peace. Now these kids are growing up with social media, and I can’t imagine the level of judgement they might be receiving from their “brothers & sisters”. WE, as a Black community, have to do better uplifting and encouraging our Black peers. No matter what they sound, look, or act like. It really is important. Thank you for your comment. And thank you Darren Waller for being vulnerable. Your journey is a healing tool for a lot of people.
