Good Sunday evening!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Labor Day weekend.
I said what I said; white supremacy can't destroy Black joy.
Why would I say something like what I said?
White supremacy doesn't have the power to destroy Black joy.
Black joy is political, enduring hardships, unapologetic about Black humanity, courageous, unassuming.
From the Middle Passage to right now, Black Joy existed for the purpose of liberation, especially from chattel slavery, White supremacy, being lynched, redlined, disenfranchised, Jim Crow, racist housing covenants, racial inequities, discrimination, and police brutality.
Black Joy existed to have Black men and women celebrating their Black skin and hair instead of feeling shame of melanin and Afros. It also helps young Black boys and girls not apologize for being born Black.
Black Joy came from the Black Church.
Black joy has endured race massacres, like the Red Summer of 1919, Tulsa Massacre, Great Migration from the South, the Birmingham, Alabama church bombings, the bus boycotts, the Black Power Movement, HIV/AIDS, war on drugs, war on poverty, affirmative action, and Black Lives Matter.
Black Joy is enduring the coronavirus and police brutality.
White supremacy, especially White supremacy theocracy is based on a lie. Why would I say something like that?
White supremacy theocracy needs subservience of human beings not White, male, cisgender, straight, and Christian.
What takes off those shackles?
Here are a few selections I found on YouTube.
Enjoy your weekend.
White supremacy can't permanently destroy Black joy because it is built on a lie.
