"Black" -_-

All my life i have dealt with one problem that doens't seem to go away. I am "Black".
My skin color is Dark brown, But now people refer to me as "black" because it is easier to say than dark brown.Or maybe it is just because every one is color blind and they cant see dark colors so they automatically see black. I don't know.

There are a lot of stereotypes that come along with me being born this way.
1)My family is on wel-fare.
2)I listen to rap
3)I am in a gang
4)I have been to jail
and many many more........

My point is that I break every stereotype that is put on a "black" person. I listen to everything BUT rap.
My family is not on wel- fare.
I have never been in a gang in my life.
And I have never went to jail nor do i do thing that would put me in the situation of going to jail.

Oh, and also my name is Jakee. Pronounced as (Jaw-keey).
Some people might even say that my name is such a "black" name.

Just because my mother has more creativity in naming the child she gave life to then others doesn't mean that my name is a black name.It only means that my mother had too much imagination to name a human in which she created, a name that has already been taken. My name is a made up name just like every name on this earth. So get over it.

Some people say that I am white washed.For the last time, I am NOT white washed. If any one wants to actually go down that low and call me white washed that only shows that you are stuck in your stereotype based world. People base the world on whats around them.And that is sad.

Because I base people on who i know.Not what i hear or see.And even then i don't judge people until I get to know them.

Anyway, that's all I had to say.
