about

“You’re one of the good ones.” A phrase I heard all my life without ever really taking stock of what it meant. It’s a phrase used to separate people from their Blackness. Essentially, when you grow up being told your interests are “white”, there’s two paths you can take. You can let it make you sad or you can take a road of intellectual superiority. But both of those paths are wrong. Black is NWA and Black is Living Colour. Black is being loud and proud and Black is being quiet and reserved. White supremacy forces people into boxes in order for them to be defined. We will not be defined by our interests. This is a reminder to watch out for it.
