It's pretty evident that you wish you were white (or non-black) and that's pretty sad. In that case I'd suggest bleach or whatever the f*ck Michael Jackson did to his face.

Where did I state anything about wanting to be white? Ghana is an African nation.

Another one has come to our country to milk the system.

I'll probably only be in NYC for another 2-3 years or so at most, just to get the work experience, then I'll transition back to Kansas City.

Default Well unfortunately you cannot escape being judged...

Well, I think that the fact is that as a black person you are going to face some degree of prejudice everywhere. I feel like a lot of people in minority groups (I am black, and LGBT) think that if they move to a big city or a liberal hub they will never experience prejudice/stereotyping. The fact is that sadly exists in some degree in every city.

You should be proud of who you are. If someone stereotypes you or views you negatively, they aren't worth your time. It isn't worth lying about your origin or upbringing. People say that this place and that place is judgmental but I think that the reality is, you will face judgment anywhere. You're in a great location as far as meeting diverse groups of people. Take advantage of it, the city has 8 million+ people. Ignore the negative people and find positive ones

The tangled web we weave when we choose to deceive.

There is only one you. Nobody else can be you. You are unique.

Be strong. Have integrity. Live your truth.

You are good enough. You are worthy. You are loved.

Trust your soul. It always knows.
