I would constantly feel a need to prove my intelligence. I couldn’t be afforded the luxuries that other women get. At night time I couldn’t wear a shorter skirt because this would be “asking” for SA. Men of various races would target me before others because they have a higher chance of getting away with whatever they would do to me. Black men would tell me they are tired of dealing with Black women like me. Men who don’t know me. Other groups of men would think I am easy and fetishize me. How dare I not enjoy this? My friends would deny any of my experiences. If I am dark other black people would consistently tell me how pretty to be a dark skinned I am. Not knowing this is more insult than compliment. I would always have to watch my tone to avoid being seen as the angry black woman. Even my silence would be weaponized and used against me.
