Venting I fucking hate being a black girl

[sulk]

Okay as much as I love my appearance I hate the hate I get for being a black girl. It literally sucks that the first thing someone notices about me is me being a black girl and not anything else. I can't stand going online and seeing the racism against me just for being black and a woman I can't stand it anymore it makes me so suicidal like I can't stand living anymore yet I still wake up everyday and deal with the same stuff every single day. What's even the point. It's so tiring being a black woman. There's just so many stereotypes against me and I hate it. I know this post is stupid I just had to let it out because I'm so tired. Like I can't stand being considered undesired and other races considered wife material and pretty. Like im cute and attractive but you're not desiring me because of my skin color? I'm so broken

I don't know, I mean I wasn't posting this asking for help I was just letting out how I feel :-(

Literally. And everyone expects us to be strong but I seriously can't like I'm so sensitive it hurts me inside and then I have to laugh it off to cope. All I want is to be treated like a human and I want to be desired and everything but I know that's never going to happen

I'm sorry girl, as a hispanic I had always thought black people were very cool, though I don't live in the US so I missed out on black culture, enjoy it on my behalf! Take care :)

 

[Natanael]

I'm sorry you're going through that. All my life I've been surrounded by people of different skin colors, so I never understood why skin color is such a scandalous issue in other countries

Other than that, the black girls I've met from the US have always been very cheerful and friendly people, they're great

I blame cardi B and nicki minaj, they r extremely famous. So people that dont interact much with black people unconsciously assume all black girls are like that. Its rough but this fucking putrid existance is based on appearances and we r defined by how we are perceived.
If it helps i love black women and I think they got extremely attractive bodies , would prefer them over blonde girls anyday

So many things wrong with this post.

As a brown girl I relate to this. It's why I rarely mention my skin colour or ethnicity now

I disagree with this. Most cases of racism I see stem from stereotypes which were formed when systematic racism was normalised. I understand what you're trying to say, but I don't think celebrities are causing stereotypes and racism - discrimination has always been around.

Your comment about black women having extremely attractive bodies seems a bit weird as well. The post isn't about looks or attractiveness it's about discrimination, so bringing sexual attraction into this seems quite irrelevant imo

 

[petmom]

Same. Another way my birth was a mistake. You're not alone

Hmm i can see why u would assume its weird i didnt mean it sexually. Rather in an attractive sense like skin wise . But ye my bad i could formulate it better.
Also bout stereotypes i genuinely think internet is playing a huge role, 10 years ago the karen stereotype wasnt even a thing. Tiktok and celebrities etc do in fact play a huge role.

How old are these people? Sound like rather immature individuals, or ones too caught up in idiotic tribalist behaviours. In certain online spaces hating on women and being racist (or at least pretending to be) is apparently a sign of belonging or peak comedy. These are failures of our culture, cultivating the injustice.
Now, my experience won't change your reality, but I know plenty of people find black women gorgeous. Others are either lying or should have their eyes checked. v.v

The OP expressed a disdain for stereotypes and you wrote 'they got extremely attractive bodies'. Room-temperature IQ?

being a black woman fuck. i can't put into words what a fucked up experience it can be. people being attracted to you but ALSO hating you or thinking you're less than is such an insane experience. it's not new or unfounded. a lot of racist people love black women. the same way a lot of misogynists love women. but imagine having best of both worlds just in your daily everyday life. so so so fun

Why do people assume the word bodies is sexual. MF im Talking about their skin their fucking color complexion. The reason why mfs are racist. Im pointing out the fact it should be celebrated rather than looked down upon. You people love to assume the worst in people holy shit

Grow up. You were so busy virtue signalling that you said the one thing that a lot of black women hate hearing.

 

[Busridin'26]

Another thread turned to shit. I'm a black women but rarely mention it in cetrain spaces for a variety of reasons that this thread is showing smh.



Wanted to comment that I related to other black / poc folks in this thread.

& it's annoying foolishness even on SaSu. We deserve safe spaces and our issues related to living in a black body & such are real.


I love being black, I just hate how the world treats black folks.


( srry if this reply is weird im really medicated rn but been wanting to reply.)

I'm not. You're still not done with the stereotypes though, clearly.

Come back in a few years.

Off topic, but this is another reason bringing children into the world is idiotic. The constant racial, social, class, religious, gender, caste issues etc. It's never ending and completely exhausting. We can never just exist without some type of fudging labels that we never chose.

And then you can see the type of arguments/fighting that ensue just from this post. This is a shit hole prison planet.
