Black Woman

Why must black males degrade black women?
Like what do you get out of it?
How do you go to sleep at night knowing you are discriminating against your own race?
You know your mother is black too?
Sending us back decades, we wish not to re-live.
You have created a stereotype of black woman.
We are loud, obnoxious, rude, loquacious, psychaotic, and dark.
Making it seem like we’re the worse ones in the bunch.
Putting us down, dragging us through the dirt, and leaving us left in the cut.
To be ridiculed by other races.
The hurt, knowing I’m not looked at to be good enough.
Black women
All different and unique in our own way.
Why do you put us through the wire?
Males in other races worship their women.
No putting down, embracing their race no matter the circumstances.
Rarely you here about a woman being undatable because she is too light, too quiet, too nice.
Well this chocolate complexion is amazing.
An outspoken woman is what it is.
Being a little raw never hurt nobody.
Intelligent, beautiful, outgoing, and worth more than what you make a black woman out to be.
You will not categorize and disrespect black women anymore.
You can kiss this black ass.
and I hope your ass rots in hell for all eternity.
Learn to be a man, respect a woman no matter what pigment is at the surface.
Remember your grandmother and mother are BLACK WOMAN too.
Respect us.
