Another Black person being killed is a trigger!
It’s hard to be cool and act as if life is normal. When someone of the same hue as me dies unjustly, I feel the vibration of their death. To be Black in America is a scary thing. To leave our house each day not knowing if we will be preyed on is a heavy burden. As Black people, we must mentally, physically, spiritually coat ourselves in the amour of the ancestors before we leave the house. Sometimes, I wonder if other groups put on the same amour. It must be nice for certain groups to not worry about they’re hue being a threat to society.
On many platforms, there is a narrative of Black lives having no value. I refuse and won’t be conditioned into believing Black Lives don’t matter! We are hurting! We are tired of Black people being killed for no reason. To be calm and docile is something I’m tired of doing. The young man in the video below beautifully stated how I feel…
I’m tired! For the people who may not understand what this tiredness feels like…seek to be an ally and not a Karen! Also, understand my Pro-Blackness doesn’t make me “anti” other races. In the current moment, I don’t know how to help. I don’t have any solutions, but in my own way I will continue to empower Black people and Black narratives.
