Hello World! Get Ready for the GBG's! The Geeky Black Girls!
A few have been
asking why I created Geeky Black Girls, and I decided to answer that very
question with a little blog. The answer is very simple, One day I was talking
to a friend and while she was talking all I could hear her says is about how
she wished she was Asian and how Asians were the most
beautiful race in the world! When I asked her about her own race and what she
thought of it, she said she didn't think her race was all that
beautiful! Don't get me wrong nothing is wrong with Asian people but to
hear someone of my own race and gender say such things about herself
made me highly confused. Anyway I did some research too see how others felt
about this, and what I found shocked me.
First Thing I
noticed was just how rare we really were. Having had geeky black girls as
friends almost all my life I thought there would be many of us in the
world and defiantly Internet, but I was proven wrong on my online
searches, we are very few compared to the many other races. That was also
proven in my search for black cosplayers, while I found many white
and Asian cosplayers I found only little African or African
American cosplayers. Taking an online survey of why this was so and after
reading a lot of comments on the internet these were the main 3 reasons
why they didn't.
List
1.) No money
2.) Were afraid to
because skin, height, and weight didn't match character
3.) Thought only Asians’
could Cosplay a character correctly
Literally, who
judges themselves that hard? When I saw that I wanted to scream, however these
are the same girls who try themselves to be closer to the Asian
culture. This brings me to my second thing, the worship of Asian cultures.
I personally love the culture myself but I would never put down my own skin and
culture for another. These geeky girls, will only eat Asian food, Like Asian
boys, want to dress Asian, and will only listen to Asian music. Now
just encase any one is wondering while reading this blog the main two
Asian Societies I am talking about are Korea and Japan. I took Japanese class
and the one thing I took from it was basically what I have learned in all my
history classes. Every Civilization has its flaws! Sometime I think
Geeky Black Girls get wrapped up in the fantasy
they completely ignore the flaws of their obsession.
I want geeky black
girls to read these blogs with the understanding that they are beautiful and
wonderful and should be proud of their skin. We age gracefully, we
are dominant in all our genes, and we can make ANYTHING look good and
sexy. And for all the guys that are reading this don't think I am
letting you off the hook, telling a girl you only date Asian girls with
glasses does nothing to help my cause!
