Are you proud to be an African American(for us only)?
The reason why I asked this question is because I am one and proud. We need to stand up! Our culture is diverse and unique. Our skin is unique and different. Black and skin of color is beautiful. I wouldn’t want to be Caucasian for nothing in the world or any other race(no offense!). I am so proud of this b/c it is so much for that come with it. I love how we females get to embrace our hips, thighs, and curves b/c that is considered beautiful in our culture. It is amazing. We don’t have to look like a really skinny Barbie doll;etc. That is not the only beauty. I love our styles and so much. When answering this give me examples and reasons why. Another thing is that we have some hands; too.
I am proud to be Black because we have swagger that white people (no matter how hard they try) just can’t imitate. The first university in the world was in Africa, the first people in the world for that matter. The roots of astronomy, science, psychology, and philosophy can all be traced back to Africa.
Black Americans come from this. Our ancestors made it across the middle passage, we survived slavery, what is there to be ashamed of?
Black women are the strongest women in the world. We face opression from black men, white men, white women and still manage to make strides in employment and education. We were left out of the feminist movement because we were black as if we’re not women. The fact that black women get to vote is purely coincidental. Black men got to vote after the civil war, than white women after the suffrage movement black women were left out both times and we still are smart and beautiful.
We are beautiful and as much as white people try to buy tans in bottles and turn themselves orange they obviously agree. They tell us we’re too dark but they tan to look like us. Not to mention the fact that they inject their lips, hips, and asses so they look a little bit fuller like ours naturally are.
What is there to be ashamed of?
