Being human is not for sissies. And being a Human of Color is definitely not for sissies with a faint heart.
For centuries, we have navigated being human in a system designed to exclude, undermine, and demolish our humanity, our mental health, and even our right to breathe.
Yes, it’s beyond incredulous, exhausting, infuriating!
Being a Human of Color in a merciless White Country is one of the most strenuous human stories to endure. But our patience and resilience is our proven strength. Consider the horrific level of evil wickedness we’ve endured and survived as a collective. FACT: We shall outlast the relentless hell of injustice. TRUTH: We already have.
And one day soon, our worth will no longer be a question; indeed, it will be self-evident and equal.
Amen!! I have an abundance of hope.
Yes, we have to have hope and faith.
Well said Janine. I like the confidence> Makes me believe it will be self-evident one day soon. Your writing is Hemingway-esque.
I try to remember that the Devil cast out of heaven! This wicked nonsense will not prevail. This is probably why racists are so pissed.
I will pray that one day, SOON, all those of color will be set free from the oppressive hands of the racist Whites. Hopefully it will be self-evident and EQUAL!!!
Remember, in God’s eyes we are all Equal.
Living for the day when this is all self-evident.
