Escapism

24

i almost never rant but here it goes.

i'm on my way back home and there is a black boy in the transport explaining WHY he doesn't like black people. a friend of mine asked him why doesn't he date black girls and he responded with "how can i date a girl that i don't like? if there were white people in the school, i'd definately befriend them and if there were white girls my age, i'd date one." so i asked him, why does he like white girls. and he responded with "just." he didn't have a reason for a min, then he responded "they aren't so loud." and when he said this, he said it in his mother tongue, a BLACK language.

if you're gonna be racist, don't beat around the bush. don't say you "prefer" white girls to sugarcoat your racism.

it took me 16 years to finally learn to love myself. 16 years. whereas white girls have been praised since before birth. and at the moment, i'm still learning to accept myself and love myself. it doesn't happen overnight. i'm training my mind on how to change the views that have been drilled into my mind. "your hair is unmanageable!" and "you're getting dark." as if that's a bad thing. my hair is magical. literally. while everything else on earth succumbs to gravity, my curls defy it. my hair acts as a protection against the sun. oh, boy, let me not get started on my sun kissed skin..

it's just amusing, how when black guys are asked why they like white girls, they'll give you reasons why they don't like black girls. i don't know if he is being racist since he is black himself. but i know it's wrong. but then again, all that matters is that you know your worth. black girls rock. and by me saying this isn't a synonym for me saying i don't like white people or saying that white people they suck. just because i'm pro black does not make me anti-white. all i'm saying is black girls are amazing. and if that intimidates or makes you uncomfortable, you're part of the problem.
