I came across this poem called black girl blues on YouTube (the video it's inserted above). I watched it and this part that stood out to me to most so I thought I'd share it with y'all because it really hit me hard... comment your thoughts on the video overall or just the lil part I put down below 💗😘

Tell em your brown sugar, maple syrup can't be bought off shelves
Tell em dark don't mean dirty, nappy don't mean nasty, loud don't mean ratchet, bold don't mean problematic
They say the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice but in these times the blacker the baby the longer the noose
