One: You could get the ‘industrial-strength’ skin bleaching agents that Michael Jackson used — you would be white (lower case ‘w’) but you wouldn’t be considered to be White (capital ‘W’) by most of society; Blackness is a badge of honor by birthright. Two: Your Blackness is who and what you are. Enjoy being Black and be proud to be Black. Be happy that you don’t have to spray on color or bake yourself in the sun. And, three: You may want to seek professional counseling or find a quiet time and place and ask yourself some hard questions: – What do you associate with being Black? – What has happened in your life that make you feel the way you do about being Black? – What changes would happen in your life if you were White? – What makes you believe that being White would change your life? – Is there anything preventing you from realizing the same life changes as a Black person? – This is a tough question: Is your wish to change your race really about your ethnicity — or is it related to something deeper such as your perceptions of ‘the real you’, i.e., is this truly a race issue or is it a personality or character issue? Even without knowing more about you and your life, your wish to be a ‘generic’ White person speaks volumes to me about what is really and truly going on inside of you. Your question sounds like it is more about your perceptions about race, yourself, and yourself as a Black person. Take a good look at yourself and I do not mean the Black you, I am talking about the real you inside. You have to like yourself totally, inside and out. You particularly have to like your outside so that you can appreciate all the greatness that is housed within you. Good luck in life.
