Blackeen is the new Brown?

"Blackeen"


Browning is a thing of the past… the new terminology is "Blackeen" it's more of a regal, queen like term. That has a more black centric feel to it and far less negative associations.


Of course it's quite literal as we mixed race, brown shaded folks do actually have black in us!… we are still treated with as much disdain as our black sisters, by persons of other races. Although often praises maybe given for our golden skin tone. This is only a mask for underneath the super ficial gestures of admiration is the usual prejudices.


Oftentimes we Brown gyals are treated like a trophy, maybe not a wifey but one to pick up and take out to profile with. Someone to make you look good in front of your colleagues or to sport with your friends. Or worse still someone to use to make the wifey, or the ex girlfriend get jealous, so as to provoke a reaction. 


This last issue is often the root cause for many women's deep seated hatred of browning, who is still to blame for leading the man astray. Oftentimes little analysis is given to the real reasons that drive a man to stray. Or that many men perhaps crave to have women of all different types actually. There are many beautiful women in the world of all different shades. Still I find that most times both Black and White women wish to hold the "Blackeen" women responsible for the mens insatiable desires. 


Mostly it seems to be there is jealousy of the golden skin tones, or the pretty hair or subtle curves of the mixed race woman. Upon closer analysis they will discover that there are beautiful women of all races, men are simply spoilt for choice. They can't help themselves most times, resistance is futile.

Reflection on my own Colour Therapy (Brown)

I think I no longer identify myself as Brown only Grey...As I slip into the grey areas between buildings, slabs of concrete and pavement sto...
