Y'know, after I saw a documentry about this, it brings me back to the day when I went over my aunt's house to visit in New Jersey. My mom saw one of my little cousin's black baby doll and she hates that doll because it looks so ugly and I kinda agree because... it looks ugly. From that moment now , I feel kinda sad now. From what I've seen, black is like the color everyone hates now. the kinda stuff I hear about this makes me want to cry sometimes.
When I think about it more in depth, black is consider evil as everyone said, but I never think of it that way. When I was little, I get sick and tired of people dissing on my favorite color black. "White is so beautiful, so pretty, so innocent...", I heard that in a conversation somewhere, it makes me sick to my stomach. But then I wonder, is that why we as black people been treated differently after all these years? does black ever have to be so... evil?

Avery, Great photo. Where did you get it. Please post link on your blog.
You obviously feel very passionate about this subject. The sense of self hatred among black people is cause for great concern.
I generally get the gist of what you are trying to say here, but in a few sections your words seem to run away from you. Examine your work thoroughly before you publish. Say your lines aloud before you commit them to your blog.
Continue to work hard. Let me know what I can do if you need help.
Also, for these "formal" assignments, write You know, not Y'know.
