Topic: Black (10/15/09)
When you think of it. It is a weird thing it has two sides to it. Black is referred to as evil or dark. When its night time is dark out or black as night. In slavery time black people were considered spooks. Somebody to be scared of at the time. People fear the color black.
There is another side of this color. It can be beautiful. Halle Berry is a beautiful black women. It Can be strong. The single black mother is prime example of that. She has to work and take care of her family. It is bold. It is prominent., distinguished and proud. It is a man who takes care and teaches his family. It sticks out its chest, and says this is me.
To some I am ugly and dark, and you are afraid of me. To some I am of value and they are proud of me. I am what they love. I am intelligent, strong and beautiful.

I would love to read a much longer piece on the strength and beauty of blackness. This is a great start...consider writing a much longer and fully developed piece next time.

An extra blank space between paragraphs would be lovely.
