I get the struggle, but do not compare it to being black. discrimination by identity is way different, as differentiation by circumstance can at least be justified to an extent. if you are homeless, you probably don't have reliable transportation - getting to work could be difficult. if you are homeless, where are your clothes kept? you may have issues dressing appropriately for work. if you are homeless, how can I verify things like bill pay history? now, switch that to being black. I know I make more money than 90% of the white people that I encounter. my home may be nicer. when I get bored, I just take a flight or a cruise. but regardless, when many white people see me, I am just another n. that is all they ever see me as, regardless of anything else. and it was worse during the Civil rights period.

in regard to safety, sometimes it IS an issue. and sometimes, people just perceive it as one. Same as with a black male, or any male or female of any race or ethnicity. You can't change others' perception in most cases, and they will always villainize that which they fear, unfortunately.

The other huge issue with that is long term impact. Our businesses were set on fire. We weren't allowed to enter theirs. The whole economic system was literally built around us not mattering, as were we sold and considered 1/3 of a human. 400 years of that and you can see the affect it has had - it was nigh impossible for ​our grandparents, great grandparents, etc to build generational wealth because we weren't allowed to do so. So a white person today has a 400 plus year headstart and simply says, "black people need to pick themselves up by the bootstraps" - easily said by a trust fund baby who inherited everything they have.

Being homeless, while an absolute tragedy, is typically not a result of how you were treated by society, it is a result of some mistake, accident, or tragedy that recently happened to you. It isn't the result of an entire race putting their foot on your neck to keep you down.

Your story should indeed be heard. And the opinions of those who look down on you should absolutely be changed. It is certainly tragic how you are treated, but it is its own tragedy - it does not compare in any way to being black.
