This is why I refuse to live in a predominantly white city, town, or neighborhood anymore.
I was born and raised in white suburbia. As the product of an all black household.
Didn't bother me....now it just annoys me after living in NYC for so long...and just makes me roll my eyes and laugh.
I don't know if it's because I've embraced my blackness or embraced black people more period, but I couldn't live around such swagless people and having them gawk at me like an statue cause my blackness combined with my impeccable fashion sense and dashing good looks all the time, get profiled, and then have to repeat the same routine everyday. I want to live around other black people. People who look like me. It's empowering.
That's how I know that lily white suburban shyt is a lie and that ain't meant for black people period.
I know when I walk into a room full of all white people or any with no blacks all the attention draws towards me.
They see me. They observe me. They check me out. They wish they could be me. The women eye me up. The men feel less secure around me. They hate me cause they ain't me.
Why should I feel uncomfortable about that when you properly know yourself and your history as a melinated being? A black person.
They want you to be afraid of them, but they are afraid of us.
They've created a society where conformity is key even down to skin color and physical features so anything that goes against that norm is going to get the most attention.
Which saddens me that brothas and sistas don't embrace themselves or love them.
White society wants to project it's insecurities on the populace, force people to like them. Isn't that insecure? And force [people to hate themselves in the process. Isn't that insecure?
Really, white people are pathetic. And I'm not even saying that in a haterish type of way.
At the end of the day, you can't respect them because of all this bullshyt they pull to force them to respect you. I don't delve in such immature nonsense.
