America, the country founded on genocide of Indigenous people with an economy built on the backs of enslaved Black people, has a racist past, a racist present, and presidential hope for a racist future. Attacking anti-racism teaching isn’t about stopping diversity training.
It is about silencing Black people who dared to speak in White spaces. It is about putting them back in their sub-human place. It is about maintaining White Supremacy as the rule of law. It is about the privilege to demonstrate hatred for Black bodies without consequences.
My Black body is not political. My Black body is valued, loved, capable of achieving all of the greatness destined for me and my ancestors. My Blackness is beautiful, intelligent, desirable. My Black body deserves to LIVE, the same as yours, in a country that views me as human.
Being Black in this America has always been tough for generations, and yes, these past 4 years have been...unbearable. But if this president is re-elected, he will destroy us all.
