#11 kills me inside. It's a reaction to (anticipated) racism from everyone you meet. Someone either is 'too black' or 'not black enough'. It's heartbreaking to see someone constantly having to judge themselves and feeling they have to act a specific way in front of other people.

Also, sundown towns are a very real thing.

I'm from the Deep South and the next town up the road had signs up warning that if you weren't white and were out after dark, that there were lynch mobs that'd kill you. Straight up.

While I can't say that is quite the case anymore, the area is a little bit more modern nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised if there were still some racist fucks willing to engage in what their 'grandpappies' got up to.
