About This Quote
The quote, "When you're a black woman, her mother said, ain't no hiding what you are," is a reference to the stereotype of the aggressive and loud black woman. It’s an assumption about the female gender and how they act and how they think. The idea is that women of color are assumed to be angry or see anger as a way of life. It’s have been said that black women have been taught since birth that anger can get them out of situations that they’ve been trapped in.
This quote is a reminder to black women that they should always walk with pride and not shame. Once again this quote is saying, “You’re a black woman so have you feelings hurt?” There is a lot of negativity surrounding the image of the happy strong black woman so it’s important for us to stand up and speak on behalf of all Black women because we need to fight against the negative messages we receive from our society on a daily basis
