This thread hit home!!!
I find myself trying to be the best representaion of the race and that's a heavy load. Making sure I speak correctly all the time and use my inside voice. I find myself losing MYSELF to show others that "us blacks" can live up to and surpass your idea of us. Every once in a while ( i wish more often) the light shines through and I think "FORGET THAT, I'm not here to impress them and just because they are close minded and not wise enough to understand that you can't draw a complete picture of a race based on one person, doesn't mean I have to lose ME and be what I THINK you want me to be.. "
It's a constant struggle.. Being black and being a black women. I shouldn't have to prove that I'm not that chick you see in the video.
