I am an absolute wreck today. I feel duped. I honestly bought into the promise of the "American Dream".
I tried to do what I could to help (even in the simple act of voting) to save Democracy. I was convinced that this country was equitable and fair and that ultimately our collective common good would win. What a fool I feel like today.
Me, a black man, knowing and studying the history of this country was still fooled into believing this is a land for me. I fucked around and found out.
