On Arsenio Hall: Ernestine Johnson and the Myth of the Average Black Girl

Though i focus 90% of our posts on fashion for a multicultural audience, I felt compared to share this video of Poet Ernestine Johnson, centered around the myth of the Average Black Woman.
 The young bard bristles at the ‘compliment’ that she talks so white, and in fact imparts a history lesson on those who don’t know.

What can I say, I felt empowered.
How about you?
