[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  I am sorry if other black women find my post distasteful but this is how I feel.  If we were to compare ourselves, many of you AA women have probably done more to appear white and be accepted by white society than me (if I have even done this at all).  I wear my hair natural, have never bleached my skin or hair to a lighter color and have never worn a weave.  Because my father is not from this country, I have no ancestors on his side who were slaves, so I know everything about my heritage on that side of the family and am very proud of my ethnicity.  However, I relate more to, have more in common with and feel more comfortable around white American women than AA women.  I am not sure why my perception about MYSELF offends you.[/quote]
I'm one of the previous aa posters you are referring to.
Skin bleaching? Seriously? Skin bleaching is much more common and accepted in other cultures than it is among young-youngish aa women. Weaves are less common the higher up in ses you go. It's like you've never met any aa people in real life.
It feels like you are grasping to appear as something (Worldly? Cultured?) that you just don't seem to be. I feel for anyone who feels 'trapped' in their body. I hope you find some peace.[/quote]
Indeed. Sad, but true.[/quote]
