I am afropunk
I am not what is protrayed by mainstream media
There is more than one black experience
They make movies about me
My hair is not it's natural color
I've pierced the skin behind someone's lip
And when I grow up
I want to be in a band
There is the chance that I might change my mind later on
But that doesn't give you the excuse to ignore my existance
There is more than one black experience
So stop pretending we're all the same
I am not what is protrayed by mainstream media
There is more than one black experience
They make movies about me
My hair is not it's natural color
I've pierced the skin behind someone's lip
And when I grow up
I want to be in a band
There is the chance that I might change my mind later on
But that doesn't give you the excuse to ignore my existance
There is more than one black experience
So stop pretending we're all the same
idk I'm not exactly your average afropunk but **** everyone acts like the only black experience is the "gangsta/hood rat" experience and there's nothing wrong with those who have that experience but I have not and I'm tired of not being portrayed in mainstream media/the punk scene!!!!!!
