If you had such a problem working with a rapper, you never should have taken the damn role in the first place.
Second, I am tired of other sistas and their “problems” with those of us who are light. “Angry light skinned woman…?” Bitch, I'M BLACK! Dark skinned sistas always try to act as if we are separate and apart from the rest of the race. You all do that, not us! I go through the same shit you all do on a daily basis. I have to work twice as hard as they do, just like you do and that’s only to maintain. Forget about getting ahead. That’s more luck and timing than anything else. As we are lucky enough to be there at the time when no one else wants the damn job!
Get over your damn selves!!! We have no more advantage than your asses do. And for those of you that won’t let the damn house Negro myth go, I will tell you again. Those were the slave owners children whether he actually acknowledged them or not. If they didn’t work in the field, so what? I am always going to treat my children different than I would someone else’s. Exercise some actual common sense where that one is concern and finally let that shit go.
And, let go of that “I’m natural!!!” bullshit! Nobody gives a fuck about how YOU CHOOSE to wear your damn hair. If you want to wear an afro, wear it and shut the fuck up about it. Stop trying to tell the rest of the Black race how their hair should be. We can wear out hair any way we want. If you were so damn comfortable and happy with your hair and how “natural” it is, you wouldn’t talk about it every two seconds and feel the need to trumpet how happy and comfortable you are with your kinky, natural, not white hair! GTFOH!
Do you really believe that the majority of the white women that you see walking around are natural?! Do you?! If you do, you’re as stupid as I am sitting here thinking your dumb ass is! The majority of white women are fried, dyed and laid to the side, thank you very much!
It amazes me how so many on this site think they know so much and don’t know shit! Try walking into a white hair salon sometime and pay attention fools. Talk to some of them. Relaxers, hair color, extensions, weaves, clip ons, hair dye, etc., that was all pioneered for white women and then reformulated, repackaged and rebranded for us. I’ve repeatedly told you that the bulk of the money that's made in cosmetics and hair is from white woman. Yeah, they like the money that we spend but, we are a small part and an afterthought. Yeah, every so often they bring up how much we spend but, that’s actually brought up to show how much we spend on that in relation to what we make. It’s not that we’re keeping the cosmetic/hair industry afloat because quite simply, we don’t.
Get thee some education, a clue and some damn self love. Dark skinned Black women are their own worse enemy and then, sadly, an enemy to rest of the race because y’all can’t let go of those self-made demons and move on. You do your own selves in before anyone else would even have a chance to do so. SMDH!
This ish done pissed me off royally this morning! Too damn early.
