introductionnn/ask me anything

@ABCDEF7 because my race is literally black 🧍🏿‍♀️

@gorgeousgirl Why should a person be defined/identified with his/her skin color? A person can be of any color. In India you can find people of all shades, from white to black, but they don't call anyone white or black or yellow.

@ABCDEF7 ask the people who created race; white people. i call myself black because that is what i see in the mirror, and that is what everyone else sees. a black person. race is a social construct; something created and accepted by society. in this case, white people created race to furthermore discriminate towards other racial minorities, such as Asian people, Black people, Native Americans/Indigenous People, Pacific Islanders, and/or Mixed race people. it was used as a way to justify their inhumane actions towards racial minorities (ex: slavery) mic drop 🎤

@gorgeousgirl When you understand it well that it's a racism system to discriminate people, so why you are falling in that trap by accepting that by yourself.

I give you a similar example that Britishers used in India when they colonized India. In order to divide people in India they created caste among Indians derived from old Indian Varna system(which was different system based on work someone performs in society). They further divided Indians into North Indians and South Indians.

Now when Indians are understanding that they have fallen trap by calling themselves as North Indian and South Indian. Now they are started to call themselves as "Indian from South" instead of calling themselves South Indian.

Similarly you should be proud to call yourself "A girl with dark color" instead of accepting yourself as "Black girl".

When youngsters like you start to not accept the racism by not calling themselves White or Black, then only this racism will end one day.

@ABCDEF7 i am both a “girl with dark color” and a black girl. though, because calling yourself a “girl with a dark color” isn’t normal/used often to say in the US, i stick with calling myself a black girl because again, that is what people see me as, and what i see myself as.

@gorgeousgirl I hope you don't see difference between dark brown and black.
