You white bitches would say that shit.
 

 I'm not saying this because I'm white (which, incidentally, I'm NOT). I'm saying it because it's the TRUTH, and you would see it if you opened your eyes.

You might as well be.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Oh, this is getting amusing. "you might as well be" - had me in stitches!

It's not a white woman's world but the US is a white country.

this is sadning, it's not a white womens world, but young black women like you make it hard for a lot of other blacks in our society by being so closed minded, i am a strong black women, i love all women, there are strong white women, and i feel as if i am up there with them, same oppurtunities, same possibilities, just work && you'll have everything you want.

Maybe I don't know because I'm white, but how?

go look at bandaids, bras, and the majority of beauty products. All peachy-white. Look at barbie and most dolls that you'll get.

in a 2007 study, black children preferred white dolls over black dolls because they were 'better'. White women are the beauty ideal.

there's a lot of research you can do about this. You should read some race theory.
