BLACK AMERICAN HISTORY IS 🌍 HISTORY We know colonials are raised in a culture of anti-blackness. It is at the root of where racism lies. It benefits a system they currently control. But do you know how many people who aren’t ⚪️ are too? There are a lot of 🟤🟡🟠 people Who moved to the United States Believing the rancidly, delusional, capitalist fantasy about the “American Dream” because they thought the reason Black Americans were drowning is because they were better than we were. Anti- Blackness is a drug even other non-whites will take if they think it buys them economic power and social proximity. They’ll sell it too. They’ll blame us for our suffering while enjoying the fruits of our civil rights movement triumphs while they do. Which is why these populations dismissed all the blood sweat and tears we did To pull the civil rights lines And ignore the striving it takes To hold them… Cause they think WE- and our Blackness- were the problem. These are the same people who are now despondent- in disbelief- SURPRISED if you will- over watching the 🇺🇸 be brazenly complacent in 🍉 genocide on the internet 🛜 (not the first time by a long shot) because for the first time they’re realizing that it’s not ✨ blackness ✨ that’s the problem. This can happen to anybody as long as the empire is not stopped And the less you listen to what Afro-Indigenous people have been telling y’all these things for decades… is the more of y’all this will also happen to. And we will continue to perish so quickly (we already are but y’all don’t care about these numbers) that we won’t even be able to help you. If this isn’t what people are going for: what is your plan? You’ll need one to change this land (including LAND BACK but that’s for another post). Black American History Is world political history. It’s always been a warning ⚠️ ⛔️ Y’all listening yet? ANYONE who is not Black Should be listening. You’ve things to learn.
