White Girl Monologue

Decent Essays
“This is so frustrating! I don’t know if I fell anger or sadness! I have gone to our public archives many times so far, just to find out that there is no record of a white woman from Azores bringing a black new born girl with her during the Azorean diaspora to Brazil during the end of 18th century. It is really a shame that black lives at that time were not seem as important at all. Maybe that girl has just died, like so many others. But that conversation with my mother still haunts me, so I must find a way to meet that girl’s descendant. I have had those strange dreams with that very beautiful black woman, maybe it’s she, I don’t know. I have never believed in dreams before, but those ones are really disturbing. So, I asked a friend to draw

    I saw Sheila Brown today. She continued to exhibit paranoia and delusion. Despite her acknowledgement of ‘feeling slightly out of whack’, she was adamant that her suspicion on both of your intentions and manners were real and unrelated to her psychotic symptom. She was specifically fixated on Kimberly’s ways of talking. What concern me the most is her statement about not being hesitate to fight if anyone, including the staff, continues to disrespect her.…

    “The One Black Girl at the Racist Sleepover” by Stacey Lynn Brown describes an innocent child unaware of a harsh world in racist America. Brown does an extraordinary job of affecting the young black girl’s life by linking each character in “The One Black Girl at the Racist Sleepover” together for a common purpose. The daddy, black man, and the mother all serve the common purpose of educating the young black girl about her ethnic background. However, the mother directly educates the young black girl about the words that her racist peers may someday hurl at her. The mother understands the harsh reality of racism and the mother’s goal is to educate her daughter about racism in order to prevent the daughter from experiencing heartache.…

    Professor Cherrie Moraga of Stanford University is considered to be one of the most influential women in the women’s liberation movement. Living in a white, heterosexual man’s world, lesbian Chicana Moraga understood her sexuality would alienate her in a Chicano culture that is highly against homosexuality. She understood her defiant characteristics coupled with her being a woman would naturally raise questions about her sexuality in a Chicano community that has purported strong, defiant women to be unquestionably lesbian. Lying under the stigmatized shade that is Chicano cultural nationalism, she began to understand and examine the identity alliances that shape young, developing Chicanas at such an early age. Chicano nationalism is the ethnic nationalist ideology…

    A feeling of desperation and lonesomeness, coming to the realization that you would do anything and everything with all of your mental and physical power to fit in. Including changing everything that makes you who you are. Being a “Stranger in the village” is difficult to endure, and some people are not capable of handling the desolation. When moving from state to state, it’s understandable that one might feel alone, but in most circumstances after spending sometime in a new place, a person will begin to befriend new people and separating themselves from others. Most certainly that does not always happen, and in those situations is where the real problem comes to life.…

    “White feminism” is a term that has become a hot topic in recent years. In the article “Shit White Feminists Need To Stop Doing” by Anne Theriault describes white feminism as feminist women who are cisgender and white only fighting for issues that directly affect their lives, while ignoring issues that affect women of color, LGBT women, and disabled women. Theriault claims at the beginning of her article that she is a feminist herself, yet effectively insults and oppresses other women throughout her article. Anne Theriault wrote a biased article filled with opinions and no facts showing that white, feminist women are less than anyone else.…

    Awkward Black Girl Essay

    In the Awkward Black Girl series, the main character is depicted as a normal black woman in today’s society simply trying to figure it all out. I am a huge fan of the series and what drew me to it on YouTube was that it was extremely relatable. Granted, I do not have to go to a job that I hate every morning with a racist and desensitized boss nor do I have my own apartment, but I knew that as a black women, these things are extremely common within the 25-40 year old community. The lifestyle depicted in “Empire” was unrealistic and a far stretch from what I see for myself in the future. Having parents as record label owners, being able to express your emotions in a professional recording studio, and never having to worry about missing your rent are luxuries that only a few black women have in the United States.…

    Analyzing “What It’s Like to Be a Black Girl” Patricia Smith’s poem, “What It’s Like to Be a Black Girl” (for those of you who aren’t) was an extremely emotional and eye opening poem. The poet describes through the eyes of a nine year old, what it’s like growing up in society a black girl, and suffering through life’s changes known as puberty. Society has planted a seed in her young and impressionable mind that being ethnic means nothing about her is right. To fully comprehend her perspective, it helps to analyze the elements of tone, imagery and symbolism. The tone the poet uses in “What It’s Like to Be a Black Girl” is verbal and dramatic irony.…
