Presentation Draft

Internalized Identity in the Black Community:

Identity is the way you personally see yourself, not what others perceive you as because of your ethnicity, skin complexion, hair texture, or body type.

Fish Bowl Discussion/Free Write:
Young, Old
Man, Woman
Light Skin, Dark Skin
Who’s Afraid Of post Blackness?
·         Quotes: Pg80 “Was black skin a cloak of inferiority?”
·         Quotes: Pg80 “You’re black so you’re not that smart and without the helping hand of affirmative action you wouldn’t even be here.

*In the Black community do you feel that a lot of these aspects are true as far as being perceived a certain way because of your skin tone, gender, or speaking voice?

*Do you feel that these physically based assumptions mainly come from black individuals? Why?
