Believing that we are superheroes destined to save White Americans from the very America they designed is how the relinquishing of our joy and peace of mind begins. That rescue assignment is a suicide mission for all Black folks involved. The superpower bequeathed to us from our ancestors, was the ability to maintain joy and peace of mind, while fighting oppression.
Every Black person must have a system for maintaining their joy and peace of mind. For me, it is Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon, some chess and Stevie Wonder. Identify the beauty in this world that brings a smile to your soul and embrace it. That is how we will endure this journey.
