It is a shame that everything about black women is politicized. Doesn’t really matter what choice you make. Either way, judgments about your character, personality, pride, blackness, and etc will be made because of it.

The thing in my chest
Yearns for a change Awaits something exciting Aches by a pain of wanting happiness Melts when I see something beautiful Warms after feeling comfort Flutters at songs that hold memories Grows every time I meet someone :) Breaks with the tears that fall

If you’re colored, you are basically screwed in America.
1/15 Black Males are incarcerated in the US (compared to 1/36 Hispanic Males and 1/106 White Males)
In addition, blacks are the second poorest group in America (second to Hispanics)
75% of scholarships go to white people even though they are only 62% of the population.
