The Betchiest
Does "sassy" mean loud and "ghetto"? Does it mean aggressive? Is "sassy" the black version of a popular "mean girl"?
Does having a personality while black make one "sassy"? Are my natural gestures and mannerisms "sassy"? Would I be "sassy" if I started rolling my neck, rolling my eyes, and snapping my fingers?
Is it how I present that makes me "sassy"? Do long nails make me "sassy"? Is it the gold jewelry? Is it my natural hair or is it the weave?
It must be the way I talk. Does my black southern accent sound "sassy"? I can’t help that.
What the hell is "sassy" in regards to black women? By definition the word can have positive connotations, but having been called "sassy" as a black woman, I can’t help but to be on guard to what that word may imply. Especially considering it’s a common stereotype.
