We are often at odds while finding our place in this world...as lovers...partners...colleagues...brothers/sisters...fathers/daughters...mothers/sons...husbands/wives...as individuals.
Black man shot...Black woman raped...Black man imprisoned...Black woman sexually degraded...Black man facing unemployment...Black woman facing the glass ceiling...Black male rapper/misogynistic lyrics...Black female singer/sexually degrading poses...young Black male dropouts...young Black female college graduates....pimps up/hoes down...and on and on and on...
We must LISTEN to one another and STOP comparing grievances!! It's not white supremacy OR male patriarchy. Perhaps, it's BOTH operating in tandem. Life is hard, and it's harder when a community is divided. It's going to take love, understanding, and personal discipline to overcome our challenges.
Listen to Nina Simone, in her own unique voice, make the case from a Black woman's point of view. Just listen...just listen...just listen.
Until we rendezvous...
Peace!!
It has been said "a picture is worth a thousand words". In this case, the picture says it all for me. It says - I got you!
