I will not apologize for being a black girl with a voice. We all have things to say. White people get to open the gaps they call mouths and spew hate all fucking day long. But as soon as a POC says anything, anything at all, that puts a crack in the veneer that white people think is reality, we’re racist, we’re just angry black women, don’t listen to us. Well, I’m here to speak up today. I don’t give a fuck if you listen to me or not, you’d be surprised how many of us have blogs, have podcasts, have websites, and youtubes,We will be heard! 

 The world is starting to piss me off so much. I honestly just can’t, everything about it makes me so angry. Everything about is designed to make me hate myself. If I love my skin tone, take me out. If I talk about black power, than I am a reverse racist. Last year’s Miss America was Indian, and the world freaked out, and twitter became a hub for the most racist 140 charactered opinions I’d ever seen in my life. This year, she’s blonde and blue eyed, kicked out of a sorority for hazing and the media’s all. “Oh look, we should be applauding her for being so honest.” It makes me fucking sick. 

 Beyonce’ is NOT a feminist, because she isn’t “Out there” enough,“It’s Only one album, She’s Black she can’t be a feminist, She isn’t smart enough, But Emma Watson, is because she gives 1, just ONE speech that is an "all in-inclusive” at the UN, and suddenly, she’s the feminist of our generation. The double standards presented here make me so livid that my fingers are shaking as I type this. 

 We fight because the entire worlds view is a double standard and you know what happens? We’re told to calm down, to shut up and sit down, to stop being so angry all the time. The injustice of it all stifles me. I don’t, I can’t. Breathe, not the same air other people are using to “put me in my place” to show me that “reverse racism” is a thing as well. That I should ignore every time someone tells me that I’m pretty for a black girl. I should learn to just take the compliment. That I talk so white, because I possess the ability to string together a  complete sentence. Or I talk so proper, I must be mixed. 

I’ll take your compliment and raise you one better. I know I’m pretty, PERIOD. Not for a nerd, Not for a black girl, Not for a WOC. I"m pretty because that’s what my genes and D.N.A. decided bitch. I don’t need to take your sideways comment and be happy skipping down the street. Your baseless racist opinion of me doesn’t change me one iota. All it does it make me right, bolster my confidence, make me stand taller in the face of adversity that you happen to be wearing. You compliment me to bring me down, you talk to me to put me in my place. 

You are the only one sitting down bitch. The community as a whole is standing in unity, and I hope everyone loses their rose colored lenses and see you as the cockroach you really are. 

*HEAVY SIGH*

Until Next time.
