Can't afford them even if I did want them. Which I don't.

It is the height of cruelty to bring a child into a world that doesn't have a future.

As a short black man, I have experienced all levels imaginable of disrespect and trauma, so I don't think that I want to have to tell to my kid. "Yeah, I hated my life, but I am bringing you here to deal with all these crackers so maybe your generation can keep making things better."

Also, yeah, I don't have the money for them.
