On Being Black and a Woman

I LOVE THIS WOMAN. I love her. I just want to sit with her and put my arms around her and caress her cares away. She is speaking my heart in so many ways. Granted that my experiences vasty differ from hers, but yet we are still the same. We face the same things going through this life and her heartfelt expression definitely tugs at my gut.







I'm not a huge youtube watcher. I only search it when I'm looking for something specific and when I find it, I watch it and maybe some surrounding videos on the subject and that's it. But sometimes, something catches my eye. Apparently there's this whole world of Black women bashing on youtube. I guess if you give someone a forum and a camera, you can never be sure what will come out. Unfortunately what's come out is anger, hatred and contempt. I won't watch these videos, because nothing good will come from it. I don't need to listen to that kind of poison. But, I think it's a shame that this type of thing exists in such a vicious form. Will we as a human race ever rise above it? Honestly, I think we won't. Ever. And, it's a terrible shame.
