House Negro

There was this man on the bus, stating loudly discrimination words against black women and such. It was a total shame considering he was the same color as us, making claims that a black woman is weak and she care about is her nails and her weave. And deep down that really offended me, considering his allegations were what most people think that, that most people will look at me as a person who only cares about her nails and her weave. I know alot of strong black women who takes care of their own and if a black man sits up here and bad mouths a black woman then it is within himself not us that some thing is wrong. He put on such a show, such a display I dont know what put in his mind that stating those opinionated words would be okay. This man is a sad and shameful disgrace, you'll hate your own brother and your own sister and still stay in the same place. Don't speak on a subject you don't know much about, I'm a black woman and I dont just worry about my nails and my weave, don't let reality chicks represent the other women, dont you realize its a diverse society. Dont you realize where you come from? You cut your roots and left your kind out to dry and you wouldn't offer a glass of water, you'll just walk on by. A house negro is what you are , Malcolm X stated there will always be black people like him in this world, where they only see one sided, you will always be black accept it and don't hide it. Its a symbol of strength, a symbol of I've been down before but Ima get back up, its a I've been kicked and hurt but I will heal again, its a I was blind but now I see. Why is being black looked on so disgracefully? Were not dump, were not dirty and yes I have big lips but I'm not no d#@ monkey. And I have 99 problems and its not about no d## weave and all I ask sir is please dont you dare speak for or on me.
