NYC Rebel
...on the otherside of the pond
This shyt is scary, bro. I’m Gen X and I so much relied on older black Americans as a source of resistance because no group in this world, outside of South Africans, have been on the front lines facing the most racist group of whites on this planet on a daily basis than older Black Americans.Facts. I worry about black America once baby boomers die out.
They knew who our enemies are.
Myself as one born Africans LONG AGO recognized having them was a blessing. Their proximity to the bullshyt made them my greatest source of understanding how racism operates on a local and global scale because of their lived in experiences.
So many of them are leaving now, and I am dead ass scared, not because of knowing the responsibility that now falls on my generation because they passed on a lot of great wisdom, but to no longer having them to look up to hear it firsthand. That’s why I can never shyt on them even with their mistakes like this elder fukkboy Joe Brown. I just can’t.
