No matter what point you're trying to make or analogy you're presenting it's just never acceptable
I don't even feel comfortable calling our ancestors who were actually enslaved "slaves " because it's very dehumanizing . They were enslaved people . Not "slaves".
And it'd be better if we just leave them out of our lil personal beefs altogether . Their trauma and life experiences (or lack thereof) should not be weaponized for a quick read .
I think she was trying to point out that the lack of comradery and support within the Black community stems from the historical trauma of slavery. To understand who you are you must look deeply into your past.
I'm surprised you made this comment considering how much you hve researched your own history. Although you do tend to skip over your African American heritage which makes up the vast majority of your DNA. I see you focus more on the natives and Jewish DNA, which are a much smaller part of where you come from.
theres no way to "skip over" my African American heritage as its embedded in who I am
I live it . I breathe it
And I love it - which is a huge reason of why I moved to the blackest city in America .
And my Brazilian heritage is a mix of black/African and native american as well.
Not just Native American .
Any time you see me describing who or what I am , "Black" or something pointing directly to my Blackness will never be excluded or "skipped over" . Ever.
.....as u can probably see in my username.
I am a BLACK Indian. I am a BLACK Jew. BLACK is a prefix that works just fine for me.
Know what ur talking about before u type away
