Did you know that White people on B/W filter look Black. How many of us did not know this!
Every Black would have been through difficult color because of their color and not for being themselves. I am writing my personal experience here. Thank you in advance on taking your time to read it.
I am an Indian and either I am White or Black, I am still considered Black. Being dark/black never bothered me much until and unless my school starting discriminating it. Bitter truth which took me years to release. I always wanted to be the front row in choir during my school annual day but I don't remember of such a memory because it did not happen.
I am going to narrate my school life story. I was a part of the choir since the beginning. We had two choir teacher a Sir and Madam. Sir knew me from the very beginning and I was one of his favorite student but not the madam, I never gelled with the madam. It was a sunny and excited afternoon at school because we were practicing and we did not have to attend classes. This practice was happening because of the upcoming school Annual day function out of no where madam asked me to leave the choir stating that I can't sing, “excuse me madam, have you ever heard me sing?” was the thought in my mind. I left the choir but later Sir had called me and stood for me stating that if I am not a part of choir so will he. Maybe the madam touched his EGO. As an Indian culture when a guest is invited to events in school they are respected with Arati. Funny the teachers would pick out fair students to do it. I did not much care about it because it was no big deal to me. I let it go. This use to happen every year.
Did I forget to mention that I am a great dancer. Hahaha.
Here is an incident during 9th/10th grade at school. We were practicing for Annual day at school and it was for HEAL THE WORLD song by MJ. There was this first step(obviously I did the step better than the Whites) which I had to do and later go back for the rest of the song while the other white girls where showing off their skin color. Sucks!
I know the heading might sound so unreal for many but kindly read it and then take judgement call. I use to go to Church because I love God so much. I use to do most of the work at church but guess who the credit goes to, the white rich people. I remember one of this incident usually for Christmas every year we come up doing some art and selling it within the church to collect money for the needy. One year we decided to do handmade bookmarks with some great Bible Quotes. I use make them and draw behind them. I made around 100s of them. I took to the church the next weekend and give my work. Pastor wanted the people of his church to know the art work the youth of the church has done and requesting people to buy them but what he did at last was shocking, though he knew he I had made the bookmarks he gave my credit to a White Rice B*tch. This was happening every freak'n time. That's when I stopped contributing to the church. Mostly I had no friends because I was Black and never come good in their pictures to post it on their FB. How sad are their lives that they live so FAKE!
This is where most people find it difficult where is bulling is most. I was in 12th grade in the middle of my dance practice one of my teachers walks in and asks us to write a list of Fair/White girls for the Aarti(the Indian culture as I have mentioned under my school experience), we had no other option but list out some girls names.
Why should people discriminate? Are the guests going to feel disguised looking at a Black woman or does the event stop? I don't understand why? We are beautiful just the way we are. Nobody has to drag us down, even if you do we are strong enough to rise again. We are equally talented as any other Color skin in the world. Do not treat us anything less and that is all we ask! I repeat, Do not treat us anything less and that is all we ask!!
