The above statement or "where are you from?" is something that i get a lot due to my 'good hair'(fucking hate that term btw) and personality (i guess i act Caribbean??).
Either way, I feel like more and more frequently I find others, as well as myself sometimes, mistaking beautiful components and aspects of black women for mixed race women. Sometimes black women are mixed but a lot of times they aren't. My question is, Why must beautiful black women have to be something other than 'black' to be beautiful?
There are plenty of good looking black women such as Gabrielle union, sanaa lathan, beyonce, Janet Jackson, ciara, Angela bassest...the list is endless; that are not racially mixed and yet still very striking looking.
In no way am i dissing women who are mixed or come from the islands (another thing i get a lot), cause in the end most black ppl are mixed to a point. Its just that Black women need to start taking pride in just being black and not trying to reach for other ethnic backgrounds that are just faintly there in their bloodline.
PS. For those of you who ARE black and mixed, take pride in being black and stop just appreciating the sexual parts that you got. For example: if ur a mixed black guy, don't be all hype about being black only when talking about ur dick or if ur a girl rep black when talking about ur ass...that's fucking disrespectful. thank you.
