Having a Black Accent Is a Disadvantage
Johnamc has the privilege of a british accent, which i would estimate as at least 20 ec points. I may not be as cool as j z, but i'm still properly black. The way i talk is like classical music, and therefore people find it less difficult to handle. My glasses are chosen because they are the nurdiest looking i could find. But i have to actually put who i am on display, because otherwise people are distracted by the case that carries my brain. And it's so weird. It's exhausting to have to kind of carry a flag that says, this is who i am. I am not a scary monster.
