![]() ![]() ![]() We seek comfort and encouragement from outside communities… yet we do not encourage each other. As Black/brown people we are tiresomely expressing how marginalized and discriminated against we are. As that relates to me within the LGBTQ community as a Trans woman you are constantly struggling with who and what people are telling you to identify as. We have racism/criticism within and amongst ourselves, judging others who are Black but by lighter and darker complexions. But that is issue number one within the Black/brown community. But who are we to tell someone how to identify themselves? She should be able to relate and acknowledge both sides of her lineage, in my opinion. I read an article last week about a Black man telling a woman of mixed race that she is Black and should identify solely as Black… basically telling her she should disregard her white heritage. You can add any color you want to it but that will not fix the problems we face within our community.
