   Talking thru shit wit my grandparents tells me so much.
   They both grew up in mississippi as kids thru segregation and shit.
   They now old but that shit still sits with them.
   Memories of being separated an shit even lynchings they seen . Fk ts so bad.
   So I'm saying we need to listen to our elders to appreciate ts they been thru .

     @Jaden3 Many of us are the FIRST generation not born under #JimCrow my youngest siblings are in their 30s.

     My parents were born and raised during Jim Crow.

     It was only ended ~59 years ago. I will never understand why people don't appreciate the wisdom of their elders.

     A lot of times, our elders absolutely do not want to talk about it and we might have to pull it out of them, but they remember it in 4K.
