BLACK GIRL STEREOTYPES

Okay usually it doesnt happen to me often since I keep my friends and the people I hang with to a minimum but when I do get around ignorant people who judge me based on stereotypical opinions and what I should like. It really pisses me off! It makes me hate everything that goes along with those stereotypes. I strive be as far away as possible from them... Don't get me wrong I love being an African American(Black)

Don't get me on to the "Just because list" and alot of different ethnicity's can verify with me on this

JUST BECAUSE....

I'm black doesn't mean I listen to rap

I'm black doesn't mean I drink Kool-Aid

I'm black doesn't mean every and any black man on the street is my father

I'm black doesn't mean I have to smoke weed and drink all the time

I'm black doesn't mean I wear babyphat,south pole,etc urban clothing brands

I'm black doesn't mean I say "izzle" after all of my words (and trust me this still happens)

I'm black doesn't mean I don't know anything about anything

I'm black DOESN'T MEAN I KNOW EVERY FUCKING RAP SONG ON THE RADIO AND EVERY FUCKING DANCE THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

......etc

there's more to this list but I cant think of anymore right now that relate to me

But I'm sick of it and its not something that I can just wish away because people are always going to be ignorant, because they don't want to face the fact that people can be different and like other things besides what the world has stereotyped them as.

I'm different and its hard for me to relate with other people on what I like (especially in Dallas) where I live 

I'm the kind of girl that Likes Hard Core 70s/80s Rock and Roll, 80's New Wave, Indie,Soul,Blues, I'm the girl who doesn't dress like everyone else, I don't do my hair all the time, I really don't care that much about my appearance...A real "Plain Jane" lol

but trust me I'm not boring at all!....

I just hate stereotypes...

PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHT: NOT WHERE IM SUPOSE TO BE?

WARNING BEFORE YOU READ THIS IS A VENTING POST(COMMENT IF U WANT)

Over these last couple of days I've been contemplating on life and how it isnt how I want it to be right now. But then I kick myself in the ass and realize that things come within time...and things change with in time...I'm just so used to getting that instant gratification, and as I get older I'm learning that I can live without things.(like "materialistic" things) I'm growing as a person. I feel like I'm stuck in this gigantic hole and I'm slowly climbing up it inch by inch. and by that I mean Im slowly getting things done that I want changed in my life. But obvoiusly I'm not getting them done fast enough or good enough...by me going to school and trying to do other stuff it isnt good enough.

My mother expects me to have conquered the world by age 18... and reminds me that I'm not good enough...she compared me to my old friend that shes seen today and she says "oh so and so has a job,her own place her own car...shes got her life together shes doing what shes suppose to be doing" and that hurts because I'm trying so hard...No one is hiring so its hard for me to find a job, and I get so stressed from people saying "no no no were not hiring no no no"  that I just give up and not go look for a job at all...I just feel guilty for not being better, Its like I'll always have this thing about making my mother proud of me in anything I do, I want to prove the world to her...and I don't think that anyone can change that. It just seems as an instinct to me...

I feel like giving up and just live in a hole for the rest of my life, but I know for a fact that I have purpose in this life to make something out of myself and be great. My life is bitter sweet right now its 50/50...Its like I want to live alone but then on the other side I need my family their the only thing that I have and the only thing close to real love I'll ever have....I'm just so confused and just stuck...

I see the people that I used to go to school with, still looking the same doing the same thing (which is nothing) and It pisses me off because It reminds me that I need to get the fuck out of here and do something.

PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHT: I COULD'VE BUT I DIDDNT

Today I was going through my friends list(on myspace) looking at all the people who I used to be real close friends with and think to myself what if I was still friends with them The whole south persona is... basically what people do around here where I live is go to partys, club, drink, fuck, smoke, and act ghetto and not that I'm saying that theres anything wrong with that But thats just not me...I can't be around people who don't have a future or a goal...It just dissapoints me to see my 'friends' not do anything productive with their lives...So what I'm basically asking/Penny for your thought is this:

"Would you rather be someone who your not trying to fit it with the people around you? or either be alone achieving your goals/dreams?"

I chose my dream (BASICALLY) Because I can never be someone who I'm not...but the road of being is alone is a sort of misrable life...I miss having fun...I guess I have to find people who have my interests (trust me thats hard in Texas with people being so close minded and not having any fashion sense)

PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHT:DOES ANYONE?

Does anyone rap anymore? whats the use...I was watching 106 & Park yesterday while waiting for Family Guy to come on and realized "freestyle Friday" was on...and I guess they were battling or whatever and I was listening to the things they said and was like WTF?? I guess Nas was right Hip Hop is dead...In my opinion Rap and Hip Hop are two different things...Rap is when you just rhyme, have some 808 on your song and make it catchy you know very commercial. Hip Hop on the other hand its music that reaches to your soul where you can feel it and you know its classic, something good, there's only a couple of artists that I can say do that for me (Lupe Fiasco,Jay-Z,Common,Kanye West) Honestly to me there is no "new generation" for hip hop. Its just catchy mess piled onto more catchy mess that people and I myself seem to fall in love with...I look at music like this if an artist makes a song or even an album that the WHOLE or HALF of world makes its an anthem or remembers for decades to come then you my friend have made history! lol. Seriously I'll see songs I've downloaded from maybe 2003 on my computer and say to myself what happen to them!!??? I understand that everyone has a dream but...I don't know...I'm tired of seeing the same ole shit come out of the south sounding the same if your talking about Chevy's,money,bitches,hoes,Cadillac,i get money,hustlein every single song...guarantee people are going to get tired of you. So come to the table with more than a couple of easy rhymes. These days you have to be a PRODIGY in order to be a hip hop artist

This is what they thought the future would be like!

fantastic! So how do we think the "future" will be? or are we already living in it?
I don't think It will be the future until its like the Jetsons lol with flying cars and all you know?

YAY!

I start college next week!(The Art Institute of Dallas) omg I go to school all week next week except Wednesday HUMP DAY! I can't wait!!!!!!! Today I took my ID picture for school...I look like shit, my hair was in a pony, my eyebrows looks like a werewolf! lol ughh...oh well I'm just happy that I'm in school now

PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHT: #1

"have you ever thought about what do major fashion designers wear?(as in clothing). On everyday or even going out to an event what do they wear? other designers? or their own pieces?..."

If I was a designer or if I ever become a major fashion designer If I am a fan of such other major designers like Jeremy Scott,Lanvin,Marc Jacobs I'm going to wear their clothes
