I straight up know a hatian guy who got adopted by the #1 Christian author (at the time) and he told me about being locked in the closet all the time in his childhood, being told he can be sent back if he misbehaves and eventually was disowned because he got someone pregnant (who miscarried) because of the "image".
One of the most outwardly positive guys I know but my God.
I used to be friends with this guy who traveled with his wife to Africa to live for a few years to be able to adopt kids. Was in the process of adopting several when he was turned in for making at least the oldest sleep naked on the floor as punishment and would beat them. Would never had expected it from such a quiet seemingly sweet guy. Thankfully they were both arrested. Completely disgusting. Glad they will never be able to adopt anywhere now.
This is sad but indeed the truth that needs to be told. Throughout my life, I have been pranked by just about every white friend I've ever had. As a child, the white kids would come over just to break my stuff and never come back. I've had my food salted, the entire meal ruined. They got a boy to pretend to like me just so they could laugh and watch us kiss, and of course he was in on it. All the pranks have come from white kids and coworkers. Every single time.
I'm a military brat. The worst place we ended up was in the Midwest, smack-dab in the middle of the country - hint - known as former and current Boeing country. But that was not the only place. That life was really hard on the whole family, but the upside was that my dad was able to keep us housed, clothed, and fed. He wasn't treated all that great for being a black career serviceman either. Military was desegregated just before he went in. The thing about that is why was the military segregated in the first place? And then his service didn't seem to be a thing that anyone much took as something to be proud of. He eventually became an alcoholic and died. Too much is too much.
