So I just read the two articles for tomorrows class and I found them interesting yet quite boring. I do not consider myself a racist person in the slightest. I think people to think that other races are inferior or “bad” in some way are disgusting and should live in their own colony on a deserted island because to be honest with everyone, we were all muts at one point or another along the genealogy. Anyways…again, I’m not saying this trying to be mean or racist of whatever, and I don’t know what it is like to be black, obviously but it seems like all we’ve read in this class about black people is them complaining about themselves or white people. From what we’ve read it just seems like the authors think that all white people want black people to write about their hair. I could care less! I have a black friend who changes her hair a lot and it was interesting and she would talk about it some and I’d compliment her on it. Nobody that I know of asked her to talk about her hair in detail and all that crap that Pearl Cleage was talking about. I have nothing against black people and their hair and if they complain, however it does get annoying as a white person when I’m accused for everything wrong in black people’s lives. I didn’t think that I did anything and I apologize if I did.
