That kind of hurt never goes away. I'm always consious of what I'm wearing, how I look, what I sound like around other Black people b/c of the criticisms I received from them growing up. And I shouldn't be and I am working on it.

You know, I'm in the same boat, still, and I turn 40 years old this year! But I can still feel the hurtful comments and the coldness that I had to deal with when I was a teenager. I've worked on it and am still doing so.
