How Being Black Is Important To Me

Being black to me is important because we have different varieties that others don’t have for example, natural hair. Natural hair symbolizes black power, it showed other race that we are very comfortable with our skin and also with our natural hair. With having natural hair, it takes time for black women to do there hair because of all the things they have to do to get it how they want it to look and also they have to put in a lot of products as well. I don’t have natural hair but my sister does and I know how it is for other black women because she have to use a lot of products to do the look that she wants to do. There are other cultures who don’t have natural hair who judge us black people for us having it because they think it’s too big or that it’s too nappy but I believe that our natural hair is what makes us who we are. Another thing that is important to me is slavery. I know that I never experience slavery but i do know that black women and men been through a lot during slavery. No other race can feel how we feel because black people had to lose there family to work for someone who either raped or torture them because they thought it was okay but it really wasn’t. Some different race always tell us black kids that we should stop telling them that they shouldn’t say anything about slavery because we didn’t experience it, but we are as hurt as the people who experienced it because we had great great grandmas and grandpas who experienced it, which is why we always get emotional about what other people say about slavery. As for racism, other race treat us as if we’re trash which is not okay because we are as human as they are. They always come for black peoples because they think that we always doing something negative and that we’re wild animals, they’re always saying slick races slurs, we are just humans who are having the time of there lives. I love being black and I will never change that for nothing in the world.
