I can't win

00:06:02“I really don't see the correlation.

I don't think wearing

quote, unquote, drip.

I don't think wearing designer.

Protects me from oppression.

Like, someone wearing a Gucci cap is not gonna stop

them from being racially profiled.

And it's a

bit mad because, like. You,

it's like, I can't win

if I underdress. The

general public is not going to see value in me because my

skin color in itself is not deemed valuable in society.

However, when I then take objects

that hold value in society and place that upon myself to at least

be recognized or even be seen as a human being or so

that my voice will actually be heard, then I'm also shamed for it.

So it's a bit confusing,

and it's a bit mad

because people like Bill Gates will. He

can get away with being underdressed.

Like, people praise him for, like, wearing

whatever, like a basic T shirt. However, you're

forgetting the fact that his white privilege allows him to be underdressed

because society still places value on him

for just being white, where

I don't have that advantage.

So,

yeah, I. I

think about what I wear because we

live in a. In a society where people won't even value

your life if you. If you don't wear certain things.

And, yeah,

that's. That's literally my situation. I can't win. And in

no way, shape, or form do I think.

In no way, shape, or form does what I wear okay.

In no way, shape,

or form does me wearing

okay. Yeah, I got it.

So I say all that to say

me wearing designer

is not gonna stop me from being oppressed.”
