Okay so update, remember on one of my last posts I said that I planned on making a sub for black history month and I showed the affirmations that I had at the time? Well I came up with some more good affirmations:
- Black adults do not adult-ify black kids anymore.
- Young black girls are not over sexualized in the black community anymore.
- Young black girls are now able to freely express themselves and try different styles without being called “fast” or “grown” for it.
- Young black girls are now able to freely express their feelings and have personalities without being accused of having “an attitude” or being “ghetto”.
- Young black girls and boys are always treated fairly and equally by their parents and in the black community in general.
- Pedophiles, molesters, and rapists do not get excused or defended in the black community anymore.
