Interlude: Tina Taught Me - Solange
I think part of it is accepting
that it's so much beauty in being Black
And that's the thing that I guess I get emotional about
because I've always known that
I've always been proud to be Black
Never wanted to be nothing else
Loved everything about it just...
It's such beauty in Black people
and it really saddens me
when we're not allow to express
that pride in being Black
and that if you do then it's considered anti-white
No You just pro-Black
And that's okay
The two don't go together
Because you celebrate
Black culture does not mean
that you don't like white culture
or that you putting it down
It's just taking pride
What's irritating is when somebody says you know
They're racist
That's reverse racism!' or
They have a Black History Month
but we don't have a White History Month
Well all we've ever been taught is white history
so why are you mad at that
Why does that makes you angry
That is to suppress me and to make me not be proud
