Does anyone else want to change race?

[Anonymous]

Yeah there's probably millions of question of bl a ck women stating how much they want to switch races. Here's another question first of all it doesn't matter what man or even woman. I noticed the lighter you are the better you are treated. Even if I'm mixed I guess my skin is too dark. Even a lot of "religions" view dark skin as sinful and evil. Sadly I feel like some kind of gothic girl if I wear too much black. If my outfit has too much black. Also I as a woman of color I struggle to look pretty. I refuse to fully conform to America's standards I don't care to look like a blow up barbie doll I'm not gonna ruin my face for pounds of makeup. As a woman of color I can never win back then when I wore a lot of makeup I got treated better but I was only seen as a object of easy. Now that I prefer natural beauty now I'm seen as a ugly. Curly hair is the biggest issue not only does it give away my race but curly hair will always be inferior in fact I think it was a curse placed on certain women. Notice witches usually have curly hair and the hair is always frizzy. Curly hair also shrinks up so it looks like us girls with long hair look like we have ugly wooly short poofy cotton curly hair. Deep down I don't think anyone likes being bl a ck maybe some guys don't mind but as for women I don't think any woman of color truly wants to be this race. Reason some of self hate is because men hate us so much as if we came from Satan himself. I truly wonder if we are a cursed tribe of women. Yes our features are undesirable and that's another reason I think we are cursed. Nobody is supposed to have big noses or less of a feminine bone structure. Some women have the stronger bone structure. Every other woman got beautiful straight shiny hair that grows long. We have to beat our hair into submission to look like another race's hair and sometimes our hair won't obey us forcing us to put it in a bun or cover it with a head covering. At this point I rather wear a covering over my hair

I would like to experience what it's like to grow up in a different culture but I don't want to change my race. Just like if I could grow up i a different lifetime as someone else and then keep that experience in my brain that would be cool but it's not possible so I'll just stay who I am.

You should talk about this with a psychologist or something I think you're reinforcing these ideas in your own mind. You shouldn't have a negative outlook on your whole life because you don't like your own hair. There's so much more to being a person. Did your relatives tell you your hair was not nice when you were younger?

Anyway try and get it out of your system and focus on other things like what kind of person you want to be. What do you want to put out into the world. Nobody will remember your hair when you're gone but they might remember some kind words, some good advice, a good deed whatever.

Sorry but fuck all that. You're victimizing yourself and saying "oh I can't be pretty I can't succeed I can't be treated well etc because I'm black whoa is me" like sorry but no.

I get that racism does exist in some places. There's an easy solution for that: move. And don't say you can't afford it. I've moved when I was broke and homeless and also when I was living the good life. You can always afford to move.

Also before people jump down my throat, I'm a minority too and yes me and my family have experienced racism. My grandad made a fortune in Asia and had it all taken when he moved to the US. I've been put down by people from other races (not whites actually which is interesting) in my personal life.

As a black woman, I know that navigating in this world is hard. I have days when I'm feeling down as well. I know exactly what racism is.

However, I don't hate myself. I love my hair and I wouldn't change it.

What you're feeling is something that many black people feel, so I understand you. I suppose you should find a good therapist. You can't spend all your life hating yourself, that's unhealthy.

We have the right of loving ourselves just as much as other groups in society. You deserve to be happy just anyone else.

Life is short, don't waste your precious time on Earth hating yourself.

Dude, you need some professional help. Seriously.

Instead of this misery, you should embrace who you are - clearly, you have issues with that, and this place will do you no good in that endeavour.
