innocence comes from within. Black girls & black women have been the victims of white males stereotyping. Glad Michelle Obama came around!
As a country, we must do better and work to end pervasive and damaging stereotypes. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/06/black-girls-innocence-georgetown/532050/ …

When you hear someone perpetuating any "black girl" stereotype, correct them immediately, don't laugh at the jokes or participate.

I am both happy and sad that I did not know this. Happy because I think they are innocent; sad because this is even an issue.

The darker the skin, the less innocent they are presumed to be, in my experience.
