Hello, African/American women of Gaia, and the rest of the world. I, if you don't know who I am, am Cotin Nonamee. You may remember me from such posts as "BLACK LADIES AREN'T FOR ME", "Stop calling me black!" And other posts, basically putting down the African American woman. After seeing the response, that was PM'ed to be by a black woman that I shall not name, showed me, how much of a fool I was, and how much of a coward, I was being...that I was realistically, hurting these women, and I couldn't feel any worse. To begin, yes, I am multiracial, and my mother, is indeed black as well.
I started making these posts, because when I broke up with my ex, to be honest I was tired of black women. I had thought nothing, other than how they were loud, ignorant, and, well you know...but what I failed to realize is that no, not all black women acted as my ex, her friends, and other black women do. Black women can, and do have long, beautiful hair, they don't look like monkeys at all, many black women are to be honest, quite beautiful, I just did not want to admit that before. Black women are intelligent, they're to be honest, the most strong minded women to exist, and they are very, loyal kind and caring to their friends, and those that they love. Black women, are beautiful, and it took this one person for me to finally realize this.
I stereotyped black women as caring about nothing but hair, nails, and food. But of course, this is far from true. Black women play videogames, love them and are good at them, black women do enjoy music other than rap, such as techno music. And many black women are kind, intelligent, and above all, beautifull. Who's to say, that someday that one woman to tie me down could very well be a black woman. One who does actually like the things that I do.
But for now, I apologize, as you can tell by all that I have written, something I don't do often but I felt that I should...because that one woman made me realize...how much words can actually hurt people. And as a multiracial person, going to school being called a ******, and going home to black people calling me a cracker, should know how words hurt. So to conclude, I apologize, deeply for all that I have said, and all that I have offended. I just hope that this reaches all the women who've I've spoken to, and that they can perhaps forgive me, for what I have done. And maybe realize that I'm not the bigot that I appear to be. That I mentor children...around my neighborhood, all of which are black young men, who look up to me. And that I'm not in real life, as I appeared before. Again, I apologize realistically, as I can see how truly powerful my words have been, and I promise, to all of you that I will not, ever, do so again. Thank you.
