NOT A TROLL/BAIT THREAD. I actually went through trials and tribulations. This is one of the only sites where I haven't trolled on and for a good reason


The reason why I come at Sambos and uncle toms, so much is because I used to be one. Yeah, ya boy Joe was on the :mjpls: too like Jordan. Especially, my first year of middle school back in the day. I didn't grow up with a lot of White folk like that till middle school. I've bumped into them, but not until 7th Grade. In 7th Grade through 9th Grade I started to hate myself and try to fit in with them. I did it mainly because I thought by acting a certain way I could get more opportunities. Boy was I wrong, they turned on me my 9th Grade year all of them :ufdup: So, it was basically do or die for me and I started to look within and see what was wrong with me :ohhh: Then, I realized I wasn't proud of who I was. After that, I started to look at my people and other minorities. I learned all about my culture and etc. Don't get me wrong I hate no race, but I know how NOT to hate myself in the process. I like everyone and that's just how I am. Point of the story, people respect me more now that I act like myself. Those same people who turned on me came back to me which normally doesn't happened and conversed with me. People who act fake will never be true or get anywhere. Be proud who you are and where you come from :smugbiden: Never look down on your fellow man that's next to you either:salute: Plus, that Alabama trip that my mother took me on in 2010 at 15 years old gave me my wake up call. I'm proud to be a person of African descent:steviej: Sometimes, I still get depressed, but I just came to the realization that life is like a puzzle. Meaning, you just have to put it together. Example, jobs, family, girlfriend, or whoever.

I don't understand how some people can hate being black or hate themselves for being a certain race.

I mean shyt even when people called me a black ass burnt monkey Kunta kinte I still had pride in myself. Sheesh

I used to hate being darkskin growin up. I grew up in a self hating African environment(not that all African environments r like dat, jus the one I was in) that praised liteskin plus I got brothers that r liteskin so I envied dem :mjcry:

But then eventually I found my #MidnightBoy swag and became in tune wit the power in my deep melanin :banderas:

I love myself and I also love all my black ppl of all shades complexion dont mean a thing :blessed:
