My type of black is different from the “idolized” black, the black that is gawked at. 

My type of black is a big nose, big lips black.

 Not the “Europeanized” black, the small upturned nose, perfect lips black.

 Not saying there’s anything wrong with that black, but it isn’t my black. 

That black can also be mixed with half white, Asian, Indian, and Spanish black. 

I’m the “nigga” black. 

Some see me as 

The “ghetto” black. 

The “bossy” black.

The “that fucking bitch black.” 

The “she always gotta have a stupid ass attitude black”

But to be honest, I can be that alternate persona of black that “fight me hoe” black

“shut the fuck up,” black 

The “stank ass face” black 

But I’m reality what niggas don’t want to see me as is that “future attorney” black.

“Anime Eren Jaeger” Loving black

“Loving my skin full with melanin richness” black

“That Caribbean” Black 

The “she will whine ha waist like ah bad gyal” black 

People don’t understand but should know I’m “that bitch” black. 

a ha ha – I'm just a college student and im happy with my life
