We outside. We outside. We on Spring Break ya'll, but this #ubw still has something to say. Confusion is one of the things that I don't like to fux with. I enjoy clarity about what is happening around me, so that I can properly assess situations. Unfortunately, the luxury of clarity regarding understanding - why is it, that when we think about Black Women - the emotional and physical harm that befalls us- we accept that that mistreatment is just par for the course?
It's confusing (but not surprising) that it feels as if the only people who want us alive is us. President John "Basic" Mosely has been reinstated as the head of Lincoln University, after an independent investigation concluded that there was no wrongdoing linking him to the unfortunate death by suicide of Dr. Candia-Bailey. Basic Mosely put back as head of a whole HBCU traslates to: #ubw: We.Don't.Give.A.Fux.Bout.'cha ! Le Sigh. Confused, but not surprised. The confusion but lack of surprise is why we see a ninja like Diddy still outside. How the dude still on the instagrams when women (and men) have been beaten, raped, sex trafficed, maimed, blown up! When we let monsters roam free, we too become a little bit of a monster, cause we let them go free. Karma will continue to be a bitch to Diddy - and unfortunately this is bitch that he won't be able to fux.
But before we get there - we revisit a delightful Friday night in which my Sisters and I, my fellow #ubw, were fed good food. This is food that you cannot buy in a store, but the food, the nourishment, that is based in the loving kindness of other Black Women - the only ones who care enough that we are alive. So be spontaneous, what are you waiting for? What you and your homegirl doing tonight?
