ACCEPTANCE, RACISM,STEROTYPES THINGS THAT BLACKS GO THRU AS A WHOLE.

I HAD WATCHED AN EPISODE OF RED TABLE TALK DEALING WITH THE TOPIC OF WHITE PRIVILEGE, AND PREJUDICE, I FELT I COULDN'T PUT THIS POST ON THE DISCUSSION BOARD, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE TO REAL, AND SOME OF THIS GROUP WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND, WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY, BECAUSE BEING A BLACK WOMAN IN TODAY'S SOCIETY, AND BEING RAISED BY THE MOTHER THAT I WAS RAISED BY WITH A STRONG CHURCH BACKGROUND, WITH THE INPUT OF LOTS OF OLDER AND WISER BLACK WOMEN INVOLVED IN MY DEVELOPMENT OF BECOMING ME.THE TOPICS DEALTH WITH RACISM, FEMINISM, BUT I MY SELF WAS TAUGHT THAT WE AS BLACK WOMEN HAD TO WORK HARDER THAN OUR COUNTERRPARTS, ACCEPTANCE HAS NOT JUST BEEN GIVEN TO BLACK WOMEN, WE CAN'T JUST DYE OUR HAIR BLONDE,AND DONE BLUE CONTACTS, LIKE OTHER RACE'S OF WOMEN.TO BE ACCEPTED BY WHITE SOCIETY,OR BE RECOGNIZED FOR OUR CONTRIBUTIONS ON A JOB.WEVE ALWAYS HAD TO WORK HARDER THAN OUR COUNTERPARTS, AND TO DISACKNOWLEDGE THIS FACT, IS DISACKNOWLEDGING THE FACT THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY FOR BLACKS TO BE SEEN AS STRONG INTELLIGENT AND COMPETANT IN THERE CAPPABILIITIES, WITHOUT BEING SEEN AS A THREAT....SO IT HAS BEEN EVEN MORE SO HARDER FOR A BLACK WOMAN IN TODAYS SOCIETY..., THEN THERES THE PREFERENCE OF SKIN TONES WHEN IT COMES TO SOCIETY THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FACTER IN WHITE SOCIETY, AS WELL AS IN OTHER RACES.THE FAIRER COMPLECTED BLACK OVER THE DARKER COMPLECTIONED BLACK. THE TOPIC CAN NOT BE SYNOPSED AT ALL.THIS CONTROVERSY WITHIN THE BLACK RACE AS A WHOLE HAS ALSO BEEN SEEN BY OTHER RACES, WHICH IS WHY IT IS SO EASY TO CREATE A DIVIDE WITHIN THE BLACK RACE FROM OTHER RACES DEALING WITH THIS TOPIIC , A STRONG BLACK WOMAN IS SEEN AS A THREAT, AND ARE LABELED A RACIST, BECAUSE, THEY KNOW BEING BLACK IS NOT LIKE BUYING A BOX OF DYE FOR ACCEPTANCE.I SAY THIS NOT TO PROMOTE RACISM, NOR IS IT TO DISCOURAGE INTERACTTING WITH OTHER RACES OF WOMEN, BUT THIS DELIMA HAS BEEN AN ONGOING DELIMA SINCE SLAVERY, YES EVEN WITH A BLACK PRESIDENT JUST LAST ELECTION, WHERE THE FIRST LADY WAS CALLED A MONKEY, THIS BLACK PHENOMINAL STRONG INTELLIIGENT WOMAN PERSON, INDIVIDUAL,WAS CALLED A MONKEY, AND I JUST CAN'T DISACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT RACISM STILL EXISTS, IS FELT.AND TO UNITE WITH OTHER WOMEN TO FIGHT AGAINST SUCH RACIST ANTAGONISTIC SOCIETAL DELIMA'S THIS FACT MUST STILL BE ENSTILLED IN OUR YOUNGER BLACK GIRLS AND WOMEN.IT'S OKAY TO SOCIALIZE AND BE FRIENDS EVEN FIGHT FOR THE SAME THINGS DEALING WITH EQUALITY AND ACCEPTANCE BUT DON'T LIE OR PROMOTE THE LIE THAT THIS FACT DOSE NOT EXIST.HAVING TO WORK HARDER THAN OUR COUNTERPARTS.AT LEAST KNOW THE TRUTH.AND CONTINUE THE FIGHT AGAINST THESE STEROTYPES,....WHEN FIGHTING RACISM AND EQUALITY ( WHICH BY THE WAY IS TAUGHT...NO CHILD IS BORN A RACIST THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS TAUGHT) ON A PERSONAL BASIS I ATTENDED LBCC IN LONG BEACH WHERE THE CAMPUS WAS PREDOMINATE HISPANIC AND WAS CALLED THE N WORD BY A HISPANIC TEACHER, BEING TREATED QUITE RUDELY BY ANOTHER HISPANIC TEACHER,AND TOLD BY AN ASIAN TEACHER IN A PIANO CLASS THAT NO MATTER WHAT SHE WAS NOT GOING TO PASS ME IN HER CLASS NO MATTER WHAT I DID.AND I PLAY PIANO BY EAR.I WAS EVEN TOLD BY A HISPANIC COUNSELOR AT THIS SCHOOL THAT I WAS NOT SMART ENOUGH NOR INTELLIGENT TO ATTEND COLLEGE, WHERE ANOTHER BLACK MAN CAME UP MISSING AND I STILL GAVE THIS PREDOMINATE HISPANIC SCHOOL CAMPUS A TRY.ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE THE RACISM WITHOUT MUCH SUPPORT, THE SCHOOL JUSTIFIED THERE ACTIONS ALL I COULD THINK OF.WAS I A THREAT??????? JUST ONE OF THE GRADES AT THIS SCHOOL, 66.16 FOR A C GRADE BUT GIVEN AN F BECAUSEI WOULD NOT SETMYSELF UP TO DISAPPEAR LIKE A MAN IN THE SAME AREA.
