Some colored people hated... «Born A Crime»
dashitjeeves7 июня 2024Some colored people hated me because of my blackness. My hair was curly and I was proud of my Afro. I spoke African languages and loved speaking them. People would hear me speaking Xhosa or Zulu and they’d say, “Wat is jy? ’n Boesman?” “What are you, a Bushman?” Why are you trying to be black? Why do you speak that clickclick language? Look at your light skin. You’re almost there and you’re throwing it away.
