During the Jim Crow era Black men hung from trees by the dozen and Black women had to clean up the houses of the very people who hated us just to support the families the Black men left behind.
In today's society, Black men are not only being exterminated by the hand of corrupt policy enforcers but each other's hand too, and the Black woman is still working to support our families.
WE'RE LOSING, BLACK FAMILY, and WE'RE LOSING BAD! 100 years and the pattern remains.
We think that because we get to go further up the corporate/public service ladder and live in any "better" neighborhoods that we're doing better than our ancestors who lived in the early 20th century... WE'RE NOT!
Why? They predominantly had something we don't...UNITY. Regardless of class, religion, education, or any other divisionary measure, they knew they were in the same boat: BEING BLACK.
We gave up so much to be accepted by others and have "more" but it's an illusion.
PLEASE WAKE UP FAMILY... POWER UP!
