Attitude is everything they say. but , when you throw it,no one is ready to catch it. As a matter of fact the the attitude is judged mostly by the receiver. the looks , the tones are often perceived by others. Now, do we have attitude, of course. The attitudes are ours and for myself, I own it.
I am a black woman it is kinda ironic, because this is a stereotype that our culture has been known to run from and often deny. I have embraced on a comedic level The Angry Black Woman as being a super hero. When she arrives, usually there is some effect. To me, her superpowers varies. Angry Black woman, whom is now my alter ego, approaches on the offense, but my facial features may show something different and perhaps unreadable. but ,I, and im talking about me , i happen to love the ideal of who society thinks the angry black woman is. I read people very well and i can see the wording they use when they are assuming a black woman is angry . i have even witnessed a person getting into a defensive physical stance, as if i would dirty my hands.( not to get the hands twisted , they are still working and effective– just a very last resort). its almost as if some characters searched for a creature similar to the yeti Monster . Everyone talks about it , but have you seen it and survived.
Hey Suga well I definitely can comply being a Dark Skinned Black woman growing up in a urban city I was always told I was pretty “to be dark skinned” and in my life I learned the hard way what *to be dark skinned” really meant** Society tells us we Angry cause we Black As if to say Black is the Disease and Angry is its side effect. But I learned to Love myself in spite if societies veiw point* My Super Power is Knowledge and my ability to prove them wrong* ☮️ my Sister ****

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder…I was born with a frown on my face…my Auntie would say..so what exactly does that mean as I grew older…I asked?? I don’t even try to reason anymore I let the suitor figure it out, this frown on my face is oftentimes a smile upside down not wanting to let you in because I have imprisoned myself with kindness and helpfulness_ Opinionsdonta Cutachecka 😉
