BEING BLACK

Black is beauty so goes the saying.

I am black and proud of it. Some people shy away from being black. They've developed a complex that tells them they look like white people because they are fair skinned. To some people beauty is being artificial so they throw in money to lightening beauty products bleaching their skin in the name of looking beautiful.

They think something is wrong with them because they are black and somehow that they are inferior to white people and that their beauty is second class.

Ain't nothing wrong with being black my friend. Beauty is in all colours. Nothing says you are not beautiful because you are black. You are pretty in fact.
In Nigeria for example the prettiest and most sought after actresses are dark girls taking being dark to new heights.

Get rid of the complex therefore, be black and shine. Ain't nothing wrong with being black my friend, black is beautiful.

The powers that be would not surrender without a fight and they have the resources of the government on their side. They would claim that the protesters wanted to topple a “democratically elected” president. And that would make it illegal. And what is democratic about a president who has refused to listen to the cries of the people?In their short memory however, they have forgotten that this same president came into power for the first time in 1985 after a coup...
