ibarw. I've changed my default icon for the first time since I got my "clio seamus/dean" one, and rather than making one monster post I thought I'd make daily smaller ones, taking the theme of my favorite cartoon ever, This Is Dedicated to that One Black Kid by Keith Knight, which I linked to a little bit ago. My overall disclaimer for the week is that I'm not speaking for anyone else, and really I never do--who can? My racial experience isn't singular, but it is out of the norm, which is probably why that cartoon spoke to me so directly.
I'll also say that I meant to make this post on Monday, which is why it's backdated for the ages. I started writing and got a little discouraged, and then I read this post about a very different sort of growing-up-black experience (thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

( Panel 2: This is dedicated to that one black kid who lives in that tiny ass town off the highway, in the middle of nowhere. )
