Today, we had the special friday announcements on the TV. So theres this black girl that came from the heart of Africa. she is so whitewashed but we have this writing contest and the title is suppose to be *I Wonder Why* and she goes on the announcements and says "I wonder why im black. Why cant I just be white and fit in"
It pissed every black person in school and all the white people said it was only a joke. To me, it made me sooo mad. just because shes from the motherland and all and shes basically degrading the black population at school. now the blacks at school, there is about 20-30 blacks in a school of 1,200. Now I honestly think me and other black people have every right to be mad. What do you think? If you are black, would you be angry too? if not state why |

What she said was harsh, but it's what she thinks. Sure, she says it's a joke, but I highly doubt it really was, and it really wasn't offensive. What she may have hurt, but in that case, it should not hurt only the black people, but the entire school. The fact that she came from the "heart of africa" or the fact that she is "whitewashed" should not be an issue for you. How she acts is her own right, and has nothing to do with her race. The fact that you guys are aware of her origin pushes her towards thinking these things.
What she said in no way abusing MLK Jr's accomplishments. In fact, she's enforcing the fact that the battle is not yet over. bijou said she had self hate, and it's true. But it's because there are many things that happen because of the color of your skin. If everything were equal, she wouldn't wish that she was another race. Hell, she could be purple and it wouldn't matter. I've wished that I was white before...I've wished I was from HK before...I've even wished I was mixed before....sue me. |
