Happy April to all! As 2017 continues to progress, I think it's high time to finally start correcting some of this atrocious behavior. You would think that since it has been so long since the abolition of slavery in these United States, people of color would start to move away from the slave mentality and closed mindedness that were forced upon them during that time. While I love all people of color, I am sick of these tired acts of heresy. Let's dig into this list so we can fix this madness.
5. Light-skin versus Dark-skin isn't a thing.
Dear black people, do you really think that the amount of melanin in your skin makes you any different from the other members of your race? The only answer is no. It doesn't make you act any specific way, nor does it make you any more or less of a person than anyone else. It is damaging. Why are we applying prejudice to our own group of people when the whole world is doing a great job of that for us?
4. Just because someone is black, doesn't mean they are right.
Your blackness does not give you more creditability. If I had to choose between a black doctor with 0 years of training and a white doctor with 0 years of training to operate on my brain, guess who I'm choosing. A new hospital. I don't care what it is, If I cant trust your qualifications, I am not choosing you. If you say the moon is red and you want me to side with you for the sole reason being because you and I share the same skin tone, you just might be dumb.
3. Blackness cannot be measured by preference.
Blackness has nothing to do with what food I like, music I listen to, or even how I choose to dress. Again, we are allowing ourselves to tear down our own community based on stereotypical nonsense.
2. Interracial dating is ok, and its not limited to two of the many races.
Interracial dating is fine. What is not fine is dating someone because of the race they belong to, or refusing to respect someone because of the race they belong to. Stop applying stereotypes to everything. All Black women are not angry, all Latina women are not crazy, and all White women are not submissive. Quit hating on love and let it just be.
1. No matter what you say, Gay people will be gay.
So many people are worried about what happens in someone else's bedroom more than they are their own. There is absolutely nothing dangerous about a gay person. We need to let people be themselves and learn to support one another.
BONUS: Mental Illness is not a sin. Actually, a lot of people suffer from it.
