"I think part of it is accepting
that it's so much beauty in being Black.
And that's the thing that I guess I get emotional about, because, I've always known that.
I've always been proud to be Black.
Never wanted to be nothing else.
Loved everything about it, just...
It's such beauty in Black people,
and it really saddens me when we're not allow to express that pride in being Black
and that if you do then it's considered anti-white.
No! You just pro-Black.
And that's okay.
The two don't go together.
Because you celebrate
Black culture does not mean that you don't like white culture; or that you putting it down.
It's just taking pride" - Tina Knowles
