Too Black
|
Posted By: Brittany Jones on July 27, 2005 They take my kindness for weakness. They take my silence for speechless. They consider my uniqueness strange. They call my language slang. They see my confidence as conceit. They see my mistakes as defeat. They consider my success accidental. They minimize my intelligence to "potential". My questions mean I'm unaware. My advancement is somehow unfair. Any praise is preferential treatment. To voice concern is discontentment. If I stand up for myself, I'm too defensive. If I don't trust them, I'm too apprehensive. I'm deviant if I separate. I'm fake if I assimilate. My character is constantly under attack. Pride for my race makes me "TOO BLACK". by C'Moore Productions If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
