I copied the first part of the question from someone’s Facebook status, but I added the genital mutilation to it just to make it more provoking. Let’s just assume that it’s the big blackened tribal marks that cover a majority of the face.

Now okay so my reaction: *clears throat*

First a huge scream…. as in aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

(No offense to people with tribal marks, but I’ll be super angry for several reasons)

First it was performed without permission.

Second, I’ll don’t think we still need tribal marks to identify with and know our cultures/ family lines.

Third, I’ll think it was a deliberate act to sabotage their future careers.

It’ll take the grace of God for me to forgive my mom or mother-in-law, because the marks will always be a constant reminder of how she wronged me.
