I don't so much hate being a black doll, rather I hate being a black doll living amongst other black dolls who have such a narrow view of the world.
(read that again 20 times)
As I dreamed last night while sleeping in bed (or on the couch actually) (and is what motivated me to write this today) the most wonderful dolls, personalities, I encountered were all white dolls, dolls I have known in the past, personalities all mangled in a abstract way.
Since couldn't see self in dream, not sure what color I was, but in dream, as in real life, it didn't matter when I was around white dolls as a youth and growing up, it was my personality and or 'flavor' that was judged by, as such I always felt more whole when around white dolls, back then and even now, today.
(Before I continue, yes, of course I know some white dolls, or even many, in a collective manner, can be racist, don't think I don't know that)
But oddly enough regardless of a few white dolls racism, it never effected my self esteem and healthy view of self.
What destroyed that wasn't white dolls, or living in their communities, but rather black doll devils, who have been programed to
hate self and to self destruct.
My love of self was whole, until started living around other black dolls, whole communities of them, and that's where I began to learn how mentally and socially destructive they were, and how that negative view of self could rub off on you if not careful.
Around white dolls I always felt whole and complete, around black dolls I never feel adequate since I wasn't raised as a goon on the streets, and obey the laws, and speak proper, and care for self and future.
Around white, Indian, and other type dolls, I learned to see self as more than just 'flesh', learned to be creative, artsy, colorful, as a way of expression.
Around black dolls all I learn is nothing, simply to hate self, not smile, be mean cold and callus, and to always accuse or blame white dolls or white doll society for the stupid mistakes I make or create in own life.
Everything about me, my colorful nature, happy demeanor, ability to smile, to always want more, to be sturdy in the face of conflict, to respect others and life, all of that comes from my white doll experience as a youth and growing up.
As a black doll, I can't contribute no positive trait of mine to anything 'black'.
In my world, that which is black seeks to destroy and devastate all that is good within me.
And I know there are other dolls, who are categorized as 'black', who feel as I do, feel trapped in a world, mindsets, where you're to tanned to be white, so are lumped into the world of blackness, by others who culturally should never be lumped in with, but are.
And these dark monsters see you as a misfit who just 'doesn't get it', but you do get it, and wish could run away and escape from dolls who hold onto such self destructive mindset, but can't.
They're not monsters cause of being very dark, rather their monsters do to mindset so many who are dark embrace.
And rather than trying to change, instead want to pull all others down into same destructive pit.
Outside of the civil rights era black dolls, and those who faced real struggles before them, those who actually fought on behalf of all to make society fair, outside of that class of black dolls, I owe modern day ghetto hood type dolls nothing, cause they've done nothing but make my life a living hell.
