Tag: i’m not black

Sam said something deeply personal and painful about epigenetics and how the trauma from slavery is literally in her blood and Gabe laughs to himself, begins talking about himself (”what am I doing? I’m gonna go. I get it, I got really caught up and it was embarassing” is what he says)  and then leaves shortly after instead of supporting her. It’s no wonder Sam followed him out the door. She probably needed him to acknowledge her in that moment instead of making it about himself and he didn’t do it so she had to chase after him. That’s…messed up. I really feel for Sam and resent Gabe for not being there for her.
