130 Knowing who your friends aren’t shouldn’t take years to figure out!

RealTalk with The6thman

I found it interesting the last couple of weeks to see posts on Facebook saying it sometimes takes years to figure out that some folks were never your friend! It was something that caught my attention and made me think to myself why it would even take years to figure out? The word Friend is used so loosely among other words but, there’s a clear difference between a friend and associate and people will show you with their actions what they are to you. We have to be paying attention in order to differentiate between the two as we navigate through life and certain situations with these individuals. I’m not saying that for some this isn’t true but, I really don’t think it should take years to figure out who’s with you and who’s not! I also wanted to acknowledge the disparity of media coverage and resources that people of color get compared to white people specifically women! It wasn’t something that I was paying attention too but, missing white girl syndrome is real and it’s definitely something to think about! #therealtalkpodcast
