I was strolling down my Instagram page early Saturday morning when I came across this picture of an African American women with child with a rope around her neck, naked. There is three caucasian hands reached out towards her. One hand holding a gun, second hand holding a basketball and the third hand holding a football. As I continue to study the picture I seen a black women stripped of her identity and being strangled by the system, helpless. This women is holding her belly, protecting her unborn child. From the looks of the picture this women is expecting a male. These hands that are reached out towards her pregnant stomach represents that we are mini corporations before birth and that African American men are only capable of becoming athletes or being killed. This picture shows that there is no justice in the African American community and that society has ripped us from our mothers wombs so they can lay us in our tombs. As for the black women you are worthless in this world and whatever success you are able to accomplish you will forever feel suffocated. You are not free!

ReplyDeleteYou could write a whole essay on this observation and how the media supports this terrifying truth. like James Baldwin said, ""The country's image of the Negro which hasn't very much to do with the Negro, has never failed to reflect with a kind of terrifying accuracy the state of mind of the country."
