The Colored Girl --- Does a SKIN COLOR, SEXUALITY, A VAGINA, or a PENIS really make one person better than another?? HELL NO!

"That the term 'Colored Girl' is almost a term of reproach in the social life of America is all too true; she us not known and hence not believed in; she belongs to a race that is best designated by the term problem, and she lives beneath the shadow of that problem which envelopes and obscures her."

This prose from "Colored Girl" stood out to me the most, as well as seemed to be the most enraging of them all. When I first read this I was in shock, I automatically attempted to relate it to todays society and black woman of today. During this time women had no rights as it was, and being a black or 'colored' woman made it even more difficult to be free and recognized. I cannot wrap my mind around peoples way of thinking in this time period. I do not understand how a skin color, a penis, or a vagina could seperate ones equality. This specific prose is speaking on how America didn't recognize black women, and when they did it hid behind the race and the shadows of their husbands. Equality is not something that can be debated. All people are equal.
