What is black?

What is black? Only God knows. I often hear people defining black by making certain nonsensical associations between color. like when I hear people saying "you sound white" or "black people don't do that"



I was under the impression that colors encourage diversity. when I opened my first crayola box, I didn't hold up the black and say to myself I'll sound, talk, walk or act like this one day. Back then colors, were simply colors. A spectrum of opportunity.



these days I don't find that's the case, although that's what crayons, markers used to be for. Now a days you find arrogant people making arrogant statements (that's a good correlation). If you're Caucasian you stand for much more than that now because in society you are labeled 'white' and if you're African American, Jamaican, or any form of the shade brown your 'black'. What defines this? I'm not too proud to admit after receiving many answers, I still don't understand.


After being black for 17 years I noticed that people who are 'black' eat fried chicken, speak slang, listen to nothing but rap and R&B and are 'ghetto'. what if the darker skinned fall short of that theory? And let me say again, its a theory. I don't speak slang and though I eat fried chicken, not every night. And thought I love certain rap and R&B entertainers I also listen to rock, classical, soul, alternative and many other genres of music. And, I'm black, no brown. that has nothing to do with anything really.


KiD CuDi is what I consider a great man. I like his music goods beats, but great meaning. his song man on the moon emphasizes the fact that he's not what everyone expects and after some time, he has no fault with it. Now, I don't either. I like being different. listen to that track.

first impressions

What people think of you the minute they see or meet you seem to be a big deal in this society. To what extent do people care about the ideas of first impression? Surely if you were out job seeking or found yourself interested in the girl down the street you might want to work on your first impressions and meeting skill. Personally I find that after a while in certain situations the whole "first impressions" thing is over rated on both sides really. On one side you are trying to achieve approval of some sort (If you’re the kind of person who cares about what others perceive you as) and then on the other side you set and ready to make some kind of judgment.
Obviously in the event that you’re looking to be employed flattery isn’t a bad idea. However, I find that in other cases people just act differently altogether. Although “acting” might be more impressive rather than your actual personality, I question if it’s worth it all. Not all people are like this none the less; but for the few that are isn’t it tiring?
In the first instant you meet a person you should aim to be that way the whole time you know them. That way there is no tricks. And in most cases people find that their first impressions of people aren’t what they thought they were. And as far as impressions in general wouldn’t it be nice to not care about them at all every once in a while. It might simply be a human thing to care though. I find I do a lot, but for what; I have no clue.

HOW LONG IS TOO LONG?

I confess I've spent a very long time eating sitting on my behind and doing nothing at all, try 17 years, but never have I had to wait so long on something. I as a classic case of senioritis I admit I can speak very well on the topic of procrastination. However when something as valuable as your employee discount is withheld from you, how long is too long? I have worked at Bon Ton for a long time. Try a day before school started; that was about 3 months ago! To this day I don’t have my employee discount. As a working young woman I still understand the value of a dollar and especially with the scare of our economy every penny counts. Now that the holiday seasons are approaching I would love to have all that I am entitled for, and I believe that includes my employee discount. I would love to save money on the gift giving. A certain spirit that should have no limits does because I don’t make enough money to buy the world on a minimum wage pay. The truth is that at this point it makes more sense to go to the clearance racks at others stores rather than stress over this. Honestly though how tacky is that. I work about 25-31 hours a week and even a percent off of clothing seems to be asking too much/ I simply think it’s been too long.

Most memorable B-day written in a minute

My most memorable birthday had to be my 17th only because I got to see two special people in my life. One of my best friends of the time and my loving boyfriend Shon. I think being able to spend time with whom I consider my better half made it my most memorable birthday. I remember down to the detail eveything of the day. I woke up just extremely happy about everything. I ran straight for my phone a shon first and the first thing he said to me was I love you and happy birthday hun. seeing him was the best gift ever because we don't get to see each other regularly. I don't take his time for granted. 17 could never be sweeter at that point.

BERNERD; nicknames that never leave you

certain things are inevitable when you go to high school. Like nicknames for an instance. It seems that your freshman year you do things the make a name for yourself. or you simply become the stereotype. Whether your the jock, the smart guy/nerd really or you have quality's simply original of you. for most you become known for your nickname than your real one.
