White Dolls for Black Girls

It seems harmless How ever You never seen it coming

It is a failure of father and mother, our community as a whole. Continental Africans and diasporans contribute in fueling internalized taught self-hate in our community.

 

 

 

1. We Perm our little girls hair
2. We bleach our babies skin
3. We buy them toys that are not empowering to their development
4. We don’t teach them our native language, we say English, French is enough to take you places, don’t worry about “dead” language.
5. We give them names after our colonializers and enslavers . E.g Livingstone, Hawa etc
6. We don’t encourage them anymore to take a time out from technology to go out and play with their mates outside
7. We buy them expensive phones, shoes, even when they can barely spell their name or say thank you
8. We let them sit around and order housemaids ( house boy/ house girl) instead of teaching them about responsibilities and respect to those that serve them

9. Many black girl who played with white dolls end up accepting whites quicker than their own color.

1o. Black girls End up Marring out side of race ethnic.
