@unSENSEcered I did totally miss that. Kinda surprised that this all devolved into attacks about race though. #SoManyAngryPeopleOutThere — Lost in Paradise (@Aroww333) August 17, 2014
People are so angry. And so quick to take observations out on context. Worries me about the ability for many of us to talk about big issues

@Aroww333 people of color are upset right now, and so they are attacking anybody who doesn’t understand our struggle. It’s misplaced anger. — Raisá Cachét™© (@unSENSEcered) August 17, 2014
@Aroww333 the same can be said about White people that can’t relate to the Black Experience, so they label it as nonsense. You have to see…

@Aroww333 that we are so used to being attacked for just existing, that now we automatically attack back. It’s sad, but it’s not surprising.

@Aroww333 the said reality is that when we talk, the results are minimal. What u see is the manifestation of cries gone unanswered too long. — Raisá Cachét™© (@unSENSEcered) August 17, 2014
@Aroww333 false. Ur experiences are an advantage because the juxtaposition of them against ours could be ur platform. If you had delivered.. — Raisá Cachét™© (@unSENSEcered) August 17, 2014
@Aroww333 the same message that Jessie did IN a hoodie, that is a powerful statement. We don’t need you to relate to us or understand us.

@unSENSEcered wow, that’s very profound!! #Kudos — Lost in Paradise (@Aroww333) August 17, 2014
@Aroww333 this problem doesn’t have a clear cut solution. But there’s power in knowledge, & u can reach ppl with ur platform that I cannot.

@unSENSEcered that’s very interesting and empowering! I’ve never really thought about it that way — Lost in Paradise (@Aroww333) August 17, 2014
@Aroww333 that’s rather common. A lot of ppl haven’t had the opportunity to think like that because conversations like this are rare. — Raisá Cachét™© (@unSENSEcered) August 17, 2014
@unSENSEcered they should somehow become more common. Or more people should see/hear them. I like to hope that many ppl are more open+ — Lost in Paradise (@Aroww333) August 17, 2014
@unSENSEcered than they’re given credit. It’s all about opportunity. Heck, I’m still being called a racist every other minute and its like+ — Lost in Paradise (@Aroww333) August 17, 2014
@unSENSEcered a gay guy makes a comment about fashion and somehow he’s a racist?! 😂😂 — Lost in Paradise (@Aroww333) August 17, 2014
@Aroww333 ignore the anger. If I came into an emergency room with a gunshot, what would you pay attention to? Me yelling not to touch me… — Raisá Cachét™© (@unSENSEcered) August 17, 2014
@Aroww333 or my life threatening injuries? If your genuinely trying to help, ignore all the noise and treat the injuries. Hurt ppl hurt ppl. — Raisá Cachét™© (@unSENSEcered) August 17, 2014
@unSENSEcered We’re all human beings, and we all have a steak in this society. We all have a chance to make it better or worse. — Lost in Paradise (@Aroww333) August 17, 2014
@Aroww333 and an important thing to understand is that ppl will find reasons to attack you regardless. As a gay Man I know u understand how… — Raisá Cachét™© (@unSENSEcered) August 17, 2014
@Aroww333 no matter what u do in some cases, ppl that don’t believe in ur right to exist will have an issue with you and attack you for it.

@Aroww333 if anyone can relate to the black struggle it’s someone who is gay. They hate u just because, not because of anything you’ve done.
— Raisá Cachét™© (@unSENSEcered) August 17, 2014
@Aroww333 lol. Ur welcome my friend. If there’s anything I want u to take away it’s that there’s strength in communication and differences. — Raisá Cachét™© (@unSENSEcered) August 17, 2014
@unSENSEcered After my tweet this morning I thought: I wish I could take that back. This conversation is enough to be grateful that I can’t! — Lost in Paradise (@Aroww333) August 17, 2014
