I’m black (female) and I ask the universe everyday why I was born a black person. I wonder what I did in my past where I merited being a black person. I wouldn’t want to be bi-racial because that would still be somewhat black, but I would prefer to be another race.

I like the story comment from Ay-O.

If you are somewhere unwanted and unappreciated because of who you are, you probably should leave and go somewhere diverse people are located.

Get away from people who discriminate and remind you of your skin color, race, etc. It would be fair to be around people who judge you based on your character.

To be honest, black people who bleached or make themselves lighter may get treated worse.

For example, the late King of Pop Michael Jackson was not treated any better when he turned lighter. He was pretty much considered a freak by the media.

Sometimes, admittedly I hate being black. There are some other black people who I cannot stand because of the way they talk and show off. They always act like they know everything and think that all black people are alike as well as other races.

I have dealt with some ignorant black people at my last job. I had to get out of there because of the harassment, ridicule, disrespect, and mind games.

It is people like them the main reason why successful black people (like myself) do have a bad reputation.

In addition, read, study on the contributions of blacks in history! Blacks did create monuments – look at the Egyptian pyramids! Plus, the ancient dravidians & indo-aryans of the Indian subcontinent! The impact that black ancestors had on ancient China, Japan & the Arabian peninsula! The fact that these great creative people are classified by so-called intelligent white scientists as ‘caucasian’ is misleading. Read up on Malcolm X & Dr. Frances Cress-Welsing regarding their opinions on these findings. Search through the internet & word of mouth on positive african-Americans that publicly lecture & discuss these facts in N.Y., Atlanta, etc. Go to black owned book shops! I promise you won’t feel ashamed/insecure about being black.

Make a practice of going to african arts festivals around the country. be involved or form a black history club that studies ancient black world wide history. And invite nationally known afro-centric or pro black speakers to lecture. It will increase pride in blackness. It does for me.

you people need help..and btw..it doesn’t matter if you hate your self first and foremost..even if you hate yourselves there is nothing you can do about it..so might as well love yourselves instead of keep hating yourself like idiots for the rest of your life

What is wrong with you people? I would never say this, but in your case-I wish it were true & I wish someone would take you and put you out of your “misery”-every single one of you who hates themself. The things you are saying about your own races (white, black, Indian, so far) and GENDER. My God, you people should not be allowed to breed. It scares me and saddens me that people like you even exist AND actually have kids sheesh.

I. Hate. Being. Black. Period. I am so ashamed of my race….I don’t know where to start.

My message is short. I cannot even properly concive in words the magnitude of my content for this cursed ethnicity of people.

Being black is……horrible.

I wish I could be reborn again, and hopefully God/Buddah/Allah/Vinshu/Whatever won’t make the mistake of making me Negro twice!
