    "If you can breathe black girl, you've succeeded." This is beautiful!

    You were born a black girl because you are strong. Like they say, beauty hurts. Black women get looked down upon because other people are jealous of our beauty, or features. Like big lips, wide hips, and big butts. You are beautiful. Black women are meant to go on their own personal journies to discoveeing how beautiful they actually are, no matter what people say.
    Black girl, keep your head up and let your beauty shine, because you are Golden💗

      I personally think black women are absolutely beautiful, and I make sure to tell my daughter that everyday.
      And sometimes strangers when I pass them by...if I’m feeling brave...I can be shy sometimes.
      And I’m sorry anyone has ever told you guys different.

    I am growing up in a very white community and I rarely see a black person in real life maybe in the car driving somewhere or in church but it's not very often and I have only ever had one conversation with a black person and it was in the 2nd grade I don't remember it that well but he was very nice I always grew up loving black people just as much as white people and not understanding how someone could put them into a group and hate all of them some are good and some are bad but I always wanted to show love and respect to these people and often if I saw a black person I would look away out of the up most respect I didn't and don't want them to think I'm judging them and to this day standing in line at McDonalds with a black person in line with me makes me very very conches of every thing I do how I stand where I look ect
    and I just want to say
    that I want to give every black the most respect and love I can give and I want you to know that you are equal you are capable you are beautiful you are strong and you don't need me to say that much love

    • @GyeongmiBaeb
      @GyeongmiBaeb 3 года назад

      So treat them as equals and not like some extraterrestrial being. You're trying so hard not to offend, not to look, not to stand too close that you don't even realize you're fetishizing them. Black people are not some peregrine animal that need tiptoeing around. They are human. The exact same as every other. If you don't act that way around white people, don't do it around others. Your comment, though meant with good intention, reminds me of Get Out. You marvel at blacks like they are another species. This is an old comment so I hope you've learned by now. Just re-read it as if it were a black, latino, or Asian person speaking about you. Wouldn't your reaction be "That's too much. I'm only human"?

    Powerful; beautiful message. I urge every woman reading this to make it your mantra. Embrace every word until it's no longer a thought; no longer a decision. Side note: plz dnt fall victim to bitterness. Explore your feelings & where they come from along w the message/attitude u want to present to the world. I wasn't even aware of my own bitterness (or the effect it had on every aspect of who I was/what I did) for a long time... Just wanted everyone to be aware of their own shit! ✌

    standing in the midst of the desert i saw a figure approach
    it was like looking at the sun
    the leaves scattered around, singing and finding their way down in autumn,
    upon a skin that glistened with every step
    mesmerizing was the scene
    like a dancing waterfall
    the darkness of you radiated and touched me like a light
    you danced with the wind and it made you look glorious
    even the sun watched as its child was magnanumous
    the earth embraced you as you had its hue
    it smiled at you just like strange men do
    a touch unimaginable so soft you felt
    how do you glow so , what is your confession?
    how do you whisper life into my reflection
    how the leaves find you wherever you hide,
    like a lost child they search for their mother
    they cuddle you and play with your hair
    they dont want to leave, because it feels like home
    did the sand lose its way when it found you
    or was it from you that it was born
    did the sea cry when it saw you
    or where your tears what meade the sea
    beauty in variety you are magic
    something unexplainable you are tragic
    you blacken your mirror you are pathetic
    you give yourself away for your hearth is pure
    the irony of love, yet so cruel
    the world watches as you are ripped to shreds
    the pigs laugh in chorus because they know
    they wonder how can a queen bow so low?
    if only, my GOd if only....
    if only you knew how much diamonds were worth.
