One doesn’t need prophecy to know that someone will eventually ask; why all the people in the Image Nation of Numeria are black.
Easy answer?
Because it’s a projection of my cognitive diversification, and I’m Black. Faux humility and racial shame is an unfruitful fig tree. A curse upon the offender and the offended.
Would anyone ask the question if the Image Nation were white?
Of course, not. White is the image of normalcy, Black is the image of satire.
The first time I was asked about the color of the Image Nation of Numeria the inquisitor was also black. I wasn’t offended because I understood her point of view.
It was cautionary.
The colonizer mindset grows anxious and dangerous around irregular black people. This limited mindset is more comfortably familiar when black people have balls, mics, are disarmingly witty, or subserviently humble.
God, Math and serious Black People?
Mixed together?
Outside the “We’s Lives in Da Ghetto” motif?
What manner of Sophistry is this?
“By what authority are you doing these things?”
That’s what you must come to know.
Ever since the Preface of Phillis WheatleyPhillis Wheatley’s significance in literature cannot be ove…, black women in the US have subjugated themselves as to not offend the dominant ideologies of superiority. The early self preservation necessity of self deprecation has become an unfortunate expectation of the culture today.
I’m expected to tell you how bad I feel about myself, my heritage and my opportunities. I’m either supposed to rue the days and live in hatred or thank the colonizer for cultivating me.
Either way is Sabotage of the Spirit. I choose something Greater.
There’s a new day on the horizon, a time when we choose to live with Greatness Over Deprecation. That day is just on the other side of the Bridge.
With man these things may seem impossible.
Obviously, I’m not a man.
