What's Black?
Do Plantation Negros and Crackas enforce the most ghetto misconceptions of the black experience?
You've heard muffugahs say this shit "There exists a bias against black. A preference for white. Skin whitening creams and products that straighten hair are PROOF that there is a societal role that makes women dissatisfied with their appearance yada yada yawn ..."
My ninja DV says this..Black Africans, Black Indians, Black Pacific Islanders, Black Americans, Black Dominicans, Black Brazilians, Black Asians, Black ... humans beings, have a wide variety of skin color and hair textures.
Black hair texture in fact ranges from coiled to curly to straight. This readily observable truth stands in stark contrast to the core ignorance of the Jigaboo assumption that insists "straight hair" is a characteristic exclusive to "non-black people".
Therefore the meme which insists for example, that a black woman who desires to straighten her hair, no longer desires to be black is invalid. It is as ridiculous as insisting a white woman who tans her skin no longer wishes to be white. No. A black woman who straightens her hair ... simply wants straighter hair.
Jigaboos have internalized a meme conceived externally, that blackness, is derived solely of Africa. The Jigaboo assumes that "authentic" black is somehow limited to the Bantu archetype. The implication is that unless your hair is as nappy as a Soweto barbershop, you're not ... really ... black. Unless you can hold 2 Fifty Cent pieces in your nostrils ... you must be "mixed". The Jigaboo assumption is a byproduct of the great Darwinian hoax that insists, without evidence, that man "came from" Africa. The truth is man is indigenous to the planet. His antediluvian diaspora is evidenced by black aboriginals located around the globe. The so-called "African-American" is actually an amalgamation of all kinds of Blackness.
What a society considers beautiful is merely a meme.
Standards of beauty compete in the open marketplace of ideas. Eventually ideals are produced by the constant contest of extremes. The dark and curly often lighten and straighten. Just as the pale and straight often darken and perm.
Is there a bias against black in society?
Absolutely not.
Blackness is craved.
