Fila: the most i spent on books was 10 dollars for this semester
DeeDee: Lucky ima have to spend 55 or 60 on a book for my psychology class
DeeDee: In all I have to spend over 100 for 3 books
Fila: These textbook prices really donāt make any sense, and it doesnāt help at the fact that the school knows our financial status, yet, they still charge us regular price for a book weāre only going to use for ONE SEMESTER.
DeeDee: EXACTLY, I literally had a professor that told me itās doesnāt matter that my family is considered low income, and then the audacity to kick me out of his class because of my family situation like how does that concern you ???
*Fila expresses his emotions through a face of disgust*
Fila: oh my god, that is so messed upā¦ what triggered him to be so upset of a situation that had NOTHING to do with him??
DeeDee: Honestly, i’m not surprised that he did that because this is the same professor that thought it was ok to make a joke about brown skin being dirty to a literal BLACK PERSON, keep in mind this is a white man making this joke
Fila: Oh no DeeDee, at this point I think itās best that you report him to the dean of his apartment about this, whoās to say he hasnāt done this to other students too ?
DeeDee: Oh he has, iām not the only one heās done this too, but you know how situations like this end up for people like you and me, we get blamed for being too āsensitiveā and then have the angry black woman/man narrative pushed upon us
Fila: The fact that we still have to deal with this after 400+ years of oppression is fucking ridiculous, I donāt understand how they can claim that this country is āprogressiveā when we walk down the street and get called slurs cause they know no one is going to defend us.
DeeDee: Thatās America for you *sigh*
