Im a African Amercan young lady who is 23 and I looove my heritage and my roots, I love being black, both physically as well as mentally. When I ask am I too black, i mean in a mental sense. Every book I read is by a black author, almost everything I do I somehow find a way to make it refelct my blackness, I love wearing my hair natural and curly...when someone ask me why my hair is in a big afro, I proudly say "because im black!" im not ashamed of my brown skin or my thick, curly hair..its like the world loves the black trends and the glitz and glam and the whole hip-hop culture, basically they want to live "black" but when it really comes down to it, they reject their blackness on a mental note. Such as making rude and stereo typical comments amongst their own black community; not dating in their own race and so fourth. My point is that, my whole world revolves around my mental awareness on the fact that im black and proud. Am I too engulfed in my blackness?
