TSP-0000920_,for_a_Black_girl.
Phrase: (comma)for a Black girl(period)
A phrase commonly used in conjunction with a compliment given to a Black girl or a Black woman, regardless of age. The phrase comes from a low standard placed on Black women, and implies the Black female should feel accomplished that she has managed to exceed the low expectations of her race. This phrase also reiterates that the (beauty/talent/intellectual) scale on which she is measured, even at its highest point, falls short of being higher than other races.
