"It's just because of the colour of my skin." No. It runs deeper. The colour of our skin is only surface level. It’s who we are as a people. They are threatened by our blackness. From our rich heritage, music, the way we walk, talk, our food, the way we present and express ourselves through our arts and many more, but I'll be here all day. We are special. We stand out. We are different. People are often afraid of the unknown. How can their hair defy gravity? How did they build the pyramids? It makes them uncomfortable not knowing. They'll do anything they can to drag us down. Don’t fall into the bait and get trapped.
One of the things I admire about us black people is that we keep on going. The amount of times we have been pushed down to the ground we stand up tall and climb our way to the top. We need to continue to climb and lift each other up, especially in these times because we’ve all been through similar things. We need this elevation to embrace one another and lift each other up. None of this slander and dragging each other down. That’s dead. That’s boring. That’s embarrassing.
We are powerful together as a unit. We are living in different times now, it’s not only black helping black but various nations are standing by black people. Enough is enough. They can’t hide things from us; everything is exposed thanks to the support of social media.
This all stems from jealousy. You ever find when you walk out with a group of black people and notice the attention we attract. Black is what attracts the sun, we are hardworking, creatives, entrepreneurs, pioneers, trendsetters and the list goes on.
It’s impossible to be unarmed when our blackness is the weapon that they fear. - Rev Traci Blackmon
Change the narrative, it's not just because of the colour of our skin. These types of people are anti-black. The governments try to hide our history and only show what they want us to know because they are afraid about their privilege being taken away. Knowledge is power. We are coming from royalty, Kings and Queens. Keep ya head up. We are young, gifted and black. Remember that!
I give high respect and honour to my parents for showing me the light of our reality in this world and teaching me about my blackness and where we come from. Black is all I know so if that offends you, I am unapologetic.
#BLM Peace and love. DB out.✌🏾
