“As someone who is from the East Coast, but has also lived in the Midwest and currently lives on the West Coast, I have a newsflash to share: It ain’t all that different than other parts of the “United” States. In fact, whatever presumptions you have about my native city are likely the same systemic assertions happening in your own. My question to you is, have you finally opened your eyes to acknowledge it?” — Carl Narcisse
