Black America has MANY symbolic totems. The […]

Real Talk In 2016, I wrote about a phenomenon I was witness. Neo-Blackness was shaped by algorithms and mass media. It is commodified, digital, and performative and it created a universalized version of Blackness/Black culture that exists as spectacle rather than lived reality. People who had no direct contact with the Black community learned how […]

Racism is an ideology. A worldview. A paradigm that is tied to uniquely to European thought. They have tried to make racism out to be something that humans just do when the very idea and development of “race” developed in Europe.

Our culture is being universalized and is practiced globally to the point these fusions are occurring in various parts of the world. (We are the blueprint) Many our building/infusing their cultural identities off of ours and are adopting our cultural language, mannerism, identity, traditions, etc as their own under their own context. In this process […]

Romantic colonialism From the Signaras of Goree island to the Gens de Colour Libre (Creoles) of Louisiana and Ayati, Colonial structures were built around the coupling of “exotic” women with White men. It is a very dark side of our history within the Americas were women were subjected to coercive and exploitative forms of Colonialism. […]

Black America step around the cookie jar! “So long as the Soulaani fight faction against faction, so long will they be a little people, a silly people – rebellious, self-interested, and divided!” -Lawrence of Black America

People miss why Black American culture feels the way it does. At its core, it represents an uncompromising freedom of expression and identity of “I’m going to do me regardless” type of energy.

We have been watched, studied, stripped for parts, and remixed into a global commodity. This isn’t about “culture.” It’s about something more fundamental. Black America is no longer being treated as a living, breathing, sovereign people with a continuous history. We are being converted into a genre. A genre is a category of artistic composition—music, […]
