Personal Essay-Josefa-How it feels to be colored me?


How do I feel being colored? In my own response some times being colored its hard. Being colored has his advantages in some ways and disadvantages too. Some people feel oppressed by other races. Some are sometimes ashamed of being colored. They feel that they don’t fit in, in society because of their skin color. In my situation I don’t feel ashamed of my skin color. I feel proud of being the color I am. Even though some people has put us down as bad persons only because of our colored skin and our ethnicity. I don’t think being colored has to be something bad but there some people that see us as if we where just a weird species. I am proud of the color I am and I don’t think we are less than the whites. We have the same capacity to do stuff that whites are able to do and the skin color doesn’t have to do anything with it. The only thing that changes us from being perfect to other people is the skin color. For me every one is the same no matter the skin color.
