To white and non-black women who want to appropriate black female culture...
if you want to be like black women you can’t just want to be the sparkly pretty parts that’ll get you high fives.
Take on the entire experience of black women.
Come sit with us in the back where most of society throws us, even if we don’t deserve it.
Want to be called a beast and a hair hat, just visit certain parts of the black race.
Want to be called ghetto and a sheboon/she beast? Argue with a white or non-black person about something as simple as cupcakes, you’ll get that in a matter of minutes.
Did you walk beside an old high school friend who’s a white dude, though you’re not dating him? Too bad from now on you’re a bed wench, sell out, belly warmer, but don’t say jack about black men dating IR, then you’re considered bitter and jealous.
Only want to date black men? Here’s some tips: Look and act as less black as possible. Fuck it, be a whole new race and you got yourself a black husband.
Want to be represented in the black power movement? Well too bad, you can’t, despite you being black too, the black power movement is only reserved for cis hetero black men.
And if you’re a feminist who’s a black woman, be prepared to see white feminists shame black feminists like you about how you’re a feminist as a black woman.
Want to go on social media for some down time, better be prepared to see memes, and entire portions of social media slandering you, even from your own race. Try to duck and dodge that, which is impossible, but oh well best of luck.
Come sit with us and endure the countless bashing and belittling of our our skin color, features, and hair texture from anti-black racist white America. Aren’t these the features you want to copy? Better be prepared to be discriminated against with them too.
Since you want to be a black woman, while you’re happy to bed black men, tooting your horn because they’re paying you some attention, be prepared to sit back and endure it all when they’re belittling you for your features, hair, skin color and character. That comes with the territory.
Want to put color in your hair just to do something fun? Well you can, but you’ll be called ghetto, ratchet, hoodrats and hair hats.
Want to experience intraracism and racism at the same time? Well come on and be a black woman.
Embrace the THOT, black bitch, bitter black bitch, angry black woman, labels and so forth because whether you represent these things or not, you’ll still going to be called these things because you’re a black woman. Ask Michelle Obama. Defend yourself= Angry black bitch. Feelings hurt= bitter black bitch. You have to basically be a robot and bottle those feelings in.
Be prepared to be told 24/7 how other races of women are better than you.
Wear your hair texture, the good Lord gave you and be prepared to be invisible in white America and the black community.
Change your hair texture and prepare to be called a self hater.
Oh your features, hair etc will be represented sooner or later but just not on you. And they’ll take credit for it.
Let me see you relate to Reika Boyd
Let me see you relate to Sandra Bland
Have you seen a black woman like yourself murdered and abused, try to tell people how sad you are and want to protest but your own community and white America just doesn’t give a shit? Too bad that’s how it is and you will deal with it. A lot of the times you’ll even hear people say the black woman deserves it.
Still don’t feel subhuman enough?
Lets flip through the channels, magazines, and fashion editorials and see not one representation of your hair texture, your features, body types and skin tones.
The most enrolled in college? Who cares! Leading the growth in booming businesses and entrepreneurship? Who cares! No one cares about you exceeding in all of those areas, we’re still going to bash you for twerking, being babymamas, wearing hair weave, better get used to it.
Come on, lets watch Serena and Venus win many grand slams for the sport of American tennis and still get rooted against in America.
Lets converse with other black women in other countries who will also tell you they experience the same type of discrimination by everyone.
And if that’s not enough, don’t worry in 24 hours, you roll over, wake up and walk out of your house and you’ll have to go through these things all over again for the rest of your life.
And if you’re feeling depressed, hopeless, worthless like no one cares, TOO BAD. You better shut up and endure it because it only gets worse.
So while you all put on the images of black women like costumes, we are slandered for existing in the bodies we’re born into, something we can’t take off.
Now come on and be a black woman with me ** eye roll**
