Jordi (Flopsome Opossum)<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Jaden3" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Jaden3</span></a></span> </p><p>My father grew up in North Vancouver, BC and didn't meet a Black person until he was about 20. I was 8 when I met Rene in kickboxing. North Van just had such a tiny Black population. I see more Black folks in my little mountain region than I did my entire first 10 years of life.</p><p>And in high school, a Black friend saved our lives when a guy showed up at a youth center with a gun. My friend had been lipping off to some dickheads, one of whom called their brother, who just happened to have a mutual friend in Souleyman, who talked him down.</p><p>I have a few more anecdotes but I'll save them for now. Mike the bus driver deserves his own post.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/BlackStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackStories</span></a></p>

Pick one and I'll follow. I saw enough of the other side of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/blackstories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackstories</span></a> and race wars against the Vietnamese boat people when I was a kid in south-east Texas. It's time for the other side to get published. (No pressure, just saying you might want to write a book)</p>

Mary Hilton<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Jaden3" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Jaden3</span></a></span> I think <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/blackstories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackstories</span></a> is a perfect hashtag.</p>

I was young like 10 or sum shit lining up in one those dusty ass stores in a houston strip mall. <br>Lining up to pay with my momma and asking her fo sum candy holding the line up i guess and da white guy behind shouting something bout shut that lil nigga up and move along.<br>I remember my mom fking screaming and hitting the guy 😂 shit i never foget that !<br>Respect you momma 👏🏾 <br>Share y'all stories 🙏🏿<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/blackstories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackstories</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/blackmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackmastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BlackFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackFedi</span></a></p>
Jaden<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@fixiemama" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>fixiemama</span></a></span> thanks for your reply I think <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/blackstories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackstories</span></a> so we can hear from real folks</p>
Ginger (she/her)<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Jaden3" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Jaden3</span></a></span> what about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/blackhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackhistory</span></a>? I guess it probably feels like where the Boomers hang out or like too cringe from all the years of "celebrating" it at school? </p><p>but I feel like these <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/blackstories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackstories</span></a> are exactly the history that we need so much more of. Black history is American history!</p><p>maybe it's both, maybe they go together for these conversations. I'm here for it whatever direction you take it!</p>
Jaden<p>Had replies back from people who like the stories I tell bout my grandparents growing up in mississippi as kids during segregation and the klan. <br>I ain't gonna lie to you i learnt so much from them and I will keep sharing so we don't all forget. <br>We need a hashtag on mastodon to group all these stories. Any suggestions?<br>Maybe <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/blackstories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackstories</span></a> 🤔 let me know so we can all share on that 😉 <br>Love Jaden ❤️ <br>Please share so we get an agreement 🤝🏾 <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/blackmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackmastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/blackfediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackfediverse</span></a></p>

Maggie<p>My <a href="https://blacktwitter.io/tags/Introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Introduction</span></a>: I like <a href="https://blacktwitter.io/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> &amp; all the fascinating events/ppl. &amp; lessons. I'll post particularly about <a href="https://blacktwitter.io/tags/BlackHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackHistory</span></a> bc. it's been white-washed &amp; it's just as fascinating &amp; important as other histories (also prob. more accurate). One should rather tell the positive <a href="https://blacktwitter.io/tags/BlackStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackStories</span></a> to change forged black/white mindsets. There'll also be posts re. Racism, injustice etc. (can't be ignored) but also many other unrelated things. <a href="https://blacktwitter.io/tags/BlackMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://blacktwitter.io/tags/BlackFediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackFediverse</span></a> <a href="https://blacktwitter.io/tags/BlackTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackTwitter</span></a> <a href="https://blacktwitter.io/tags/Introductions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Introductions</span></a> <a href="https://blacktwitter.io/tags/NewHere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewHere</span></a></p>
