Variations -Self Oppression pt 1

There are so many types of women of color on this earth.  In this song these women depict the stories of four women.  The slave, (black); the mixed girl who found it hard to fit completely in either world of race, (yellow); the woman longing just to be wanted by fulfilling the needs of men, (tan); and the child of slaves, (brown).  All of thier stories are different, but yet each woman is similar and have gone through the turmoils of the dark days of Slavery.  Even today we are all still like these woman spoken of, but we are always looking at the flaws of those who arent exactly like us.  But why? All of these skin tones are as beautiful as they are unique, however we oppress ourselves more than others do.  We women of color will never rise above the low level where society feels we are worthy of if we cant form a united way within our cohort.  Once we work it out amongst ourselves, then maybe we can get somewhere and bring awareness to society of how strong, noble, and loyal women of color really are.  All these years we have been oppressed and disrespected, the key to ending it can be found only within ourselves, but are we really strong enough to unlock our very own freedom?

Yep thats it,
