To many black people, Im an Oreo - black on the outside, white on the inside.
To many others of West-Indian/Carribbean decent, I'm a coconut/roast breadfruit - dark on the outside, light on the inside.

Yes i do like some Hip Hop, R&B, and soul...LOVE REPRESENTING TDOT TO THE FULLEST in real life = = Hip Hop Ain't Dead, It Lives In The North! (and there is MUCH more to Canadian music than just Beiber and Drake and Celine Dion)

I have never worn a weave. I live in the 'burbs. I don't have any reason to try to use "slang" in conversation or try to sound "hood" in any way - anyone who hears me try knows that i am faking it. Way, way, WAY back in the day i used to watch BET - but it is just a mess now(so glad i don't have Cable anymore )

I'm sick of the whole "clubbin/nightlife/party" scene. I may relent to being dragged out to an event like twice a year...but UGH i have no patience for any of that drama and effort anymore.

Yet i do still like some reggae and dancehall too and love to dance to some "wikked tunes"(yea, YEAH!)
RIHANNA DOES NOT NOT REPRESENT ALL OF US IN THE WEST INDIES AND CANNOT SING...or perform or dance or is original in any way or...I have no idea what my cousin sees in her; she begged me to come along to see her in concert about 2 years ago (essentially as an "adult" chaperone to her and 2 teen friends) and . Never again. There are SO many better artists out there representing the Carribbean well.

Beyond that...i am just a black chick with mental health issues and works on them through therapy...not just anger, ambivilance, attitude, or extreme escapism with others leading to being really lost or babydaddy drama. <<<But thats just stereotyping too because I don't know them and they dont know me...

The rest is self-explanatory - i am notablackbarbie.

Thanks for this topic thread
