Black Utopia -Just A Thought

Image
Imagine a country where you could walk out your front door, and to the shops, and walk back with not a doubt. Not a single person looks at you, except  in a friendly greeting, Where your culture is celebrated and appreciated, not stolen or looted and rebranded.A place where your children could play, grow up into adulthood with no worry of any bullets hitting them in the back. A place that is ours, and a place we can get rid of that ominous cloud of oppression.

I encourage you to read and learn about black history, so that you have knowledge, and might find inspiration for dark and difficult times in your life. Sometimes seeing others struggle helps us focus on how we can surviv

Racism is not as bad here...hmmm??

      "Racism isn't as bad here as it is over there." This statement, on the surface, suggests that racism in certain countries is either minimal or non-existent compared to others, like the U.S. But this statement itself acknowledges that racism is present. The reality is that racism manifests in different forms, and its subtleties often go unnoticed in certain societies. People may fail to connect the dots, and the result is confusion, even outrage, when Black individuals in these countries call out the systems and rules we have had to demand be put in place. Helping to explain the differences: Both Becky and Tanya may face poverty, live in the same neighborhoods, and attend the same schools, but their experiences diverge drastically due to race. Becky, while experiencing her own struggles, is never subjected to the constant scrutiny that Tanya endures. Becky is free to exist without her skin color marking her as a potential threat. Meanwhile, Tanya is faced w
