*NESHA'S NOTES~ in case you haven't noticed blog titles will always either be song lyrics or a witty ancedote that applies to the topic...that is all...ON TO TODAY'S BLOG. also my notes and randoms in my blogs will be italicized or a different color*
If you know me...which if you read me some part of you does, you should know by now that "i'm not your average girl from the video." Sorry i'm sleepy as I write, this will not meet any form of expectation. Ok once again will i'm kinda strange. I'm not your "predictable, average, run-of-the-mill, garden variety loverrrrrrr." But honestly i'm not your regular girl from the hood, black girl with hoop earrings, attitude and more brand names than a little bit. I'm honestly, well just me. Tatted and pierced, overweight, brand name illiterate, and well rather preppy in personality. So my question or thought of the day is "Whats the deal with BLACK culture?" Now don't misinterpret me, i love my people, and iRep black until the day I die, but does that mean i'm supposed to be stuck inside of certain confines of what is black culture. Now my sister has been called white because she has her sternum pierced me because i have my tragus pierced and i tend to speak, well rather proper *i speak 1000xs better than i type don't hold it against me...shit it's my blog.*
So where do i fit into the idea of 'black culture.' Am I any less black because I choose to wear a relaxer, anymore black because I can roll my neck, cop major attitude, and fry chicken. Am i any less black because i rock tats and chucks, flats, and vans are shoes i'm all for. Any more black because I go to a church where they shout, my grandma will beat anyone in the family, and i dear you to say a damn thing about my ma w/o repercussions. Or am i just not black enough cause i'm not beating ass all the time. Can you tell me whats the thing about 'black culture'
My black culture is me being me. Me embracing every side of me what some ppl would call preppy, punk, urban, chic, all of it. My black culture is the fact that I am and individual. iRep team me. I am true to myself cause only I know all my true colors.
So Mz B was right...I AM....U R...WE ARE...BLACK CULTURE
