The color of Why Part 1

Why is it that every time I turn on my television I have to change the channel to BET or UPN to find someone who looks like me. Why is it that if I speak well I am “talking white”. While on that note why is it if I speak well some asshole (usually old and white) tells me that I “speak so well”. What does that even mean. It is almost like I am some kind of mentally challenged person that was never supposed to learn proper English, and above all odds did and now must be praised like a trained animal. What the fuck. Why is it when people find out I voted for Barack Obama they assume it was because of his race not because of his policies. Why do people ask me generalized questions like “do all black people like chicken” like I am some kind of ambassador for my race. Why is it so hard to have a civilized conversation about race and racism in America with people not of my ethnic background. Why do most black and Latina dolls look just like the white ones but with darker skin. Why are most black women in the media fair skinned with light eyes, and light colored (if not blonde) hair. Wait and why the fuck is Beyonce getting lighter and lighter with every damn commercial she shoots. Where did the “passé Blanc” misconception start. Why are we as human beings still segregating ourselves from one another. Why is it ok for a black man to date a white woman but God forbid a Black woman show interest in a white man. When did it become cool to adopt “designer” African babies only to show them off for pictures then leave the nannies to raise them. Why is it that when black folks get some money they don’t better their communities, or give it to historically black colleges. Why are there still historically black colleges? I mean I understand their original need but now what’s the point. The reality is the world is not segregated and therefore your education shouldn’t be either. Speaking of education why is the education so bad in urban areas. Why are the majority of athletes’ black, but the majority of college graduates not. Why is my hair a topic of discussion. You wouldn’t blurt out who dyed their hair to cover their grey, so why would you blurt out who wore a weave, wig, or natural hair.

I AM MORE THAN JUST MY HAIR.......
