Do you black people really like being black?

After visting and living in quite a few places around the world & US, the question of who we are has alwayed been fussy and negative. The way we treat each other verses others can seem mind boggling. So, I ask,
1) Do black people hate being black?
2)At a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being extreme hate), what would you choose.
3)Why?

I love me and the skin I'm in! I wouldn't have it any other way. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. God put the hue in my skin HE wanted to be there. SO...lovin' it!

Blessings...

the pharoahs of Sudan never mentioned color differences with their brothers of the nile delta,
moses never differentiated himself from pharoah by color:
only service to the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. Europeans came up with this idea of color
scale 1-10? 10--I do not follow European definitions, ideology, history, philosophy and religion. Skin color cannot think nor reason.

I absolutely LOVE being black! I hate that our real origins have been hidden and some stolen...leaving us to perm our hair, wear colored contacts,weave,etc (maybe a subscious attempt to look more white) I wish I could see black people unite once a year in one state... as many black people as possible and discuss our state (mentally & physically) WE Better get reperations.

Before the African-Americas took ownership of the name Black then being called Black was as UNacceptable as being called a "n*ggar'. WE OVER CAME AS WE ALWAYS DO on ever corner of this planet.

My only regret in being "Black" is we know so little about "Black" people, period...I often regret being Black when we continue to accept sso many of the social abuses of our people as if it is the norm....But, when it comes to me as an "I", "I Am" is enough when the outside to place a value / meaning on me at any time, any place(smile)

Thanks for asking 'me' this Ngola(smile)
