Am I The Only One That Kinda Hates Being A Black?

[Anonymous]

Women? I'm in shambles I hate my skin, my hair, the way people perceive me. The way other races treat me the way people agree that black women are ugly esp dark black women. I'm starting to feel useless In this world and often contemplate offing myself. I'm also becoming very hateful against white people and other races for contributing into the demise of my self esteem. Am I the only black women that feels this way? Feeling like no matter what you do people will still hate you and treat you poorly solely bc you're a black women even if you're nice and feminine. There's no point everyday online feels like another minstrel show and we are the joke time after time. I think if we disappeared we'd fair better

NO ONE is responsible for your self esteem but you.
I can't speak for everyone, but I don't see black women and think "eww gross, she's black!". I actually think black women are sexy as hell and I'd love to meet one some day who doesn't hate white people because of her jaded perception of them.
I DO see people with an obvious shitty attitude and think "I don't wanna be around that person"
Everyone gets treated like shit by other people, regardless of their race. Don't let that cloud your perception of the world and thinking it's because you're black. 99% of the time it's because they have a stick up their ass or the way you're coming across to them is offputting.
Smile, be kind and forgiving and I bet your interactions with people will start to improve

Never thought they would feel that way. Don't see how. Nothing ugly about very dark skin. I was friends with a couple of girls with very dark skin, feminine, all of that. They were great. Don't know where they are now. Anyway, I think it's the liberal media that's pushing all this. They are the ones who are always putting black women down by saying that this negativity affects women of color, that black women don't get jobs or grades they deserve, etc. All of that is totally false from what I see. I think it's the media that's making black women feel this way by sending a negative message towards them.

Media definitely plays a big part the worst is seeing blk men play dress up and imitate us on how "ugly and manly" we are and how no one wants us and they way other races of people agree and laugh at us because it makes them feel better

[Asker]

I've had 2 white women an Asian man and Latina tell me I have "jaundice" called me "precious" asked me how it feels to be ugly and poor " and all types of welfare and ebt queens I hate my existence

As a white woman I promise you’re equally inferior to men as we are

[Asker]

I have to respectfully disagree. White men uphold the patriarchy and white women benefit from it

[Opinion Owner]

We only benefit when our husbands are racist

Have you tried having a positive outlook?

Let's start with some basic truths.
You aren't entitled to people, the same way they aren't entitled to you.
That means that any appreciation you get is a plus.

Let's suppose that what you are saying is true (unlikely) and you are the ugly duckling...

You only need one dude who's not a psychopath to like you, and it's not like anyone has the time to fuck the whole world anyway, so you don't even need their validation.

So, all that "mating dance" is basically solved for you, find a dude who values you and value him back.

Tell that to Oprah Winfrey.

You and only you are responsible for your own emotions. Nobody else is going to save you and frankly if you're that invested in what other people think of you when they don't even give a fuck about you then you're not going to last very long. Only concern yourself with a thoughts of those close to you, who gives a shit what some random bigot thinks?

[SiberFox]

I'm late to the party, but don't. I can assure you there's nothing wrong with you. Your outlook on the other hand... learn to respect yourself and your efforts. People are mean and nasty and they will bring you down if you let them. Well stand strong and tell them they're the ones going down.
You have power over your mind not outside events, realise this and you will find strength.

Serena William is also dark black but she is richer than almost anyone u can think of have a drwm and pursue it and grab it

[Asker]

She has also faced a lot of criticism being compared to animals and men like most black women are anyways. The media always protrays her as angry

[Agagagagaga]

Doesn’t help when she screams at referees and throws a fit whenever she loses a match. 🤷‍♂️

[Asker]

The media has always protrayed her this way even before this incident

[Asker]

Other athletes do this as well they just don't face the same backlash she does or compared to zoo animals

Are you fucking kidding me? Do you have any idea how many grants and scholarships to college you’ll be given solely for being a black woman? My goddamn city gives free college tuition to “underrepresented minorities”—oh but if you’re a honkey you still gotta pay! Tough shit! Isn’t white privilege wonderful?

I feel no pity for you. You’re better off than me.

[Asker]

I didn't say anything about college. You'd whole statement side why I'm developing a hater for white people

[Asker]

Hatred

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

Nope, I never felt that way in my entire life. I think that’s something you should discuss with professional

[Asker]

Ithe question is solely for black women but I should

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

True that on the women but yes I think it’s important to discuss these feelings with a licensed professional

[RolandCuthbert]

Well this is GaG, so there has to be plenty of "Black" people who are self-hating also.

They just do it in different ways. Some hate the opposite sex/gender. The belief manifests in different ways.

[Cubus]

You're not useless.

There's nothing bad about being Black. Some of the nicest and kindest people I met in my life were Black females.

Head up girl :)

[Avicenna]

You should never feel that way about yourself. There are always some haters out there, no matter what your race or appearance may be, so be the person you want to be and be proud of yourself.

[Stoner710]

black women aren't ugly look at Candice Owens she beautiful smart funny and tell you like it is, The same with Kim klacik and Harris Faulkner and Condoleezza Rice all beautiful black women.

[driven159]

No matter what your skin color or the way you look doesn't matter there is someone for everybody, but you can't change racism, but you can make the way you act and behave and dress the way that makes you feel sexy

[Anonymous]

I'm Russian, and not liberal, and not a simp. And I still find as many colored girls attractive as I do white girls. People are full of hate, and make up all sorts of stupid reasons to hurt others.

[Cristinaissweet]

Not true, as long as you're feminine and take care of yourself someone will like you.

[pizzalovershouse]

No I think every nice person of each race is beautiful I've dated black girls Indian an some other girls from other counties an I'm sorry you feel bad about being black you should love your self

[Guardian45]

[joeldalton]

[Anonymous]
