i love watching reruns. i adore those shows from the 70s and 80s and i love cold case especially episodes where the murder was committed in like the 30 or 40s. thing is, these flashbacks into the world back then make me more and more grateful for the world into which i was born. i am black AND female plus a tomboy who'd rather wear jeans n a baseball cap (i havent worn makeup close to a year now.....keep forgetting to he he) and yet i have NEVER suffered persecution. well, yeah i've heard the most sexist statements ever. n there is no question that there are some insane ignorant white people out there not to mention the simpering old biddies who think "girls" should be "girls". But thats by the way. Society has never stopped me from doing what i want. i've never been prevented from sitting in restaurant because i was black. made to use a different bathroom, drink from another faucet. i can be a doctor, engineer..... anything i want no one cares that i wear a bra n bleed 5 days out of the month. it is who i am that matters. not how i look or what demographic i fit into.
i'm not saying the struggle is over. far from it! i face them everyday. but we tend to forget how truly far we have come as blacks as women. once in a while lets look back and smile and be proud of what we have managed to accomplish. well not we we ........o u no what i mean!
Aluta continua!
