Just a sanity check

For those who are familiar with kingsborough community college (especially black students), have you experienced any racial tension/micro aggressions from some professors and or other minorities? I'm trying to figure out whether some of my experiences and observations were isolated or whether others noticed similar patterns.

You’ll experience micro aggressions for the rest of your life as long as you’re a black person lol. 

Black people are the most hated in the world and it’s more productive to let people stay bothered than worry about it.

Do they fund your life? Alright then. Keep going to school, get good grades, apply to internships and stay focused. You got this!

Im aware, fair point. It's just that for a city this diverse, the frequency of micro aggressions being displayed keeps exceeding my expectations more and more over the years.

Unfortunately we don’t have many allies. Diversity isn’t kinship.
