I Love Being Black

My I LOVE being black. I love being a black woman. My ass, my lips, my nose, my hair, everything about being black I love. I will deal with the racism, the stereotypes the history and pain. The struggles of being black in America toady. I will do it all with my head held high. I am a Nubian Queen a true woman of this earth. I will not wear contacts to lighten my eyes or brighten my hair with dyes so that I fit into the Europeanized standard of beauty, I will not become ass-less so that I am considered fine, by model critics, I refuse to get lypo on my thick thighs so that I can wear those short ass shorts that were made for white woman b/c my ass is too plump and juicy to be concealed my the minute amount of fabric!
DAMN I love being black! No matter what negative and deceiving stereotypes and ideas that media displays about black people, no matter what ignorant mind set others have about black people I am today devoting my life to changing these things. I can no longer turn my back on what is so obviously evident, that us Black Americans are still enslaved by a system that does not chain our wrists but rather our minds. It does not whip our backs but rather beats our true culture from within in us. I today vow to give all the knowledge that over the years I have been soaking up. I have sat back and watched my brother fall prey to what the TV tells him is beautiful, I have let my self fall prey to letting things go that I should have spoken up for. But today I say, NO MORE!! I will teach my children, I will teach my man, and I will teach my friends all that I can. I will give my all and speak up about it.
