i a hate myself because im black…

i hate it that whenever i see people on tv that i want to be like, (demi lovato, selena gomez, ashely tisdale, etc.) i have to realize that they dont make many shows, especially on disney channel, where there are black stars. they only have two that i know of, cory in the house and thats so raven, both old and out of style, no new ones coming out. when i was a little girl i wanted to be on disney channel i thought i had a chance, but, because of my race i feel like a nobody, i cant help but crying when i think about my race…

Don’t worry, Disney channel sucks anyways.
If you really want to be a star, come up with a plot and see if they would make it with you

i don’t think that’s a real reason to hate yourself. there are many people of color to admire these days as there were many in the past. try not to see the color as much as the character and attributes and follow them instead.

I hate that my hair is thinning in the back, and that my teeth aren’t perfectly straight, and that I can’t see without contacts, and that my hair has turned gray on the sides, and that I’m not tall. But what’s on the outside isn’t going to make me hate myself or give up on my dreams. Don’t give up on yours either. You want to act? Disney Channel isn’t the only place to do that. Happiness starts with being comfortable with who you are, with loving yourself. And your “self” isn’t on the outside.

Black skin is so beautiful!!!!! The way black people are oftentimes treated is not :( but there is nothing wrong with you. You are so wonderful and beautiful just the way you are :D it’s those idiotic racists that are the real problem, not you.

Someone told me once ‘it’s not what you look like on the outside it’s what’s inside that counts.’ Be proud of who you are don’t worry about your color. If your white you’re just as beautiful as black and the same on the other way around (we fought to be equal so we all need to start acting like equals. NO ONE IS BETTER than anyone else.

race has nothing to do with it, honey. disney sucks! before they had morals and now its all about making money. its not about the outside, its about the personality and character of the person. there are many successful black people like oprah. im black and ive been included in many movies as extras. you just have to go for what you believe in. just remember, black is beautiful. once you go black, youll neva go back. we are family. power to the people.

I came to this site because I’m feeling the same way (feeling outcast because of my race, not the whole disney thing) but I realize that I shouldn’t hate myself because of it. Only the racist people will judge me like that and because those people may affect our love life or job opportunities we may find it hard to do what we truly want to but we’ve made it through worse in the past and things like that won’t stop us. Even if you don’t get to do what you want to do in the end I promise you’ll find something just as good or better.
