2023 Michigan Wolverines in my veins Jesus in my heart shirt
Dude, it freaks me out too. I have a 2023 Michigan Wolverines in my veins Jesus in my heart shirt enough time taking care of him and making sure his needs are met and I’m 40 with 3 other kids from my ex-wife. Odds are 99% of the time things will go relatively well-enough if her oldest watched our son for an extended period of time by himself. And by that I mean, no injuries (beyond diaper rash or other temporary conditions) or death and his basic needs being taken care of. This kid, the 13 year old, literally turned the stovetop on to make ramen the other day while I was there and went back to his room and closed the door. I had to remind him that his water was boiling 5 minutes later. That’s to be expected, because he’s 13, but I would also expect him to treat our own son with the same irresponsible absentmindedness… What’s additionally worrisome about the situation is that the 13 year old has been spending more time taking care of his middle half-brother, who’s 4 from another father, than their mom has since he was 3 and the oldest being 12. My ex is totally grooming her oldest to be the de-facto parent in her absence while she’s at work and until recently her middle son was being fed nothing but junk food while she was away. It’s turned into a Lord of the Flies situation with her middle son, where the oldest kid is raising him and there just isn’t a lot of actual parenting occurring.

I think a lot of 2023 Michigan Wolverines in my veins Jesus in my heart shirt, when they read statements like this, they just sort of assume that it’s people being hyperbolic. They think, “oh, well, I’m sure it was just normal laws they already had, and maybe they kinda targeted black people a bit more often than normal…” Like, no. People don’t seem to realize that this shit, all these jim crow laws, were directly a response to emancipation, they were a concerted attempt to harm black people and to keep them in bondage one way or another. People read about history and assume it just kind of happened on its own. But that’s not ever true. These were conscious acts. Laws passed specifically to fuck over black people, enforced by an absolutely wild “justice” system that could basically do whatever they wanted, and wound up selling the slave labor of prisoners, and never much caring if they died on the job. It was absolutely, 100% a continuation of slavery, on purpose. No hyperbole whatso ever. Still trying to squeeze money out of that system, and maintain political power by denying them their right to vote. But I feel like people just don’t get that. They think we went right from emancipation to like, Sidney Poitier.
