I Hate Racism and Discrimination

What is an example of hating your own race? My friend and I had a talk about this, she wondered if having black friends mean you are black, which I responded "No." Just like having white friends doesn't mean you are white, it just means you are, you. But some people in my race have a thing for accusing their own for being anti-black because they decide to date outside of their race, relax or hot comb their curly hair, hang out with people who are not black, or "talk white".

Personally, I don't see these as being anti-black, people will always love who they want or do what they want that works best for them. What I truly believe what it means to hate your own race is the video my friend sent me yesterday of how this young black woman woman felt about black people in general.

It's sad that some people are actually this way, no matter the race but this is a true example of self-hate, not some black woman who decided that she couldn't deal with her natural hair and decided to get it relaxed.

I agree with the first two paragraphs. People are always accusing me of being too white and being overly sheltered from black culture. Its jist the way I grew up but that doesn't "revoke my black card".

But what happened to girl in the video? Who did this to her! Its sad. I hope she accepts the doctors help.
