Unpopular take, Black is a derogatory term. My take, all our labels.. African American, Afro American, Colored, Negro, Black.. were placed on one demographic that was stripped of a globally recognized heritage and land. Black is a catch all description that can be applied to anyone with melanin heavy enough to produce a brown complexion. Hence the phrase “person of color,” the very window former V.P. Kamala Harris climbed through to claim Black culture. I could go on an 20 page rant about defining landmass’s (Europe, by definition, is not a continent) but I digress. We are Soulaani, Gullah, Creole, Cahokian, Maroons, Melungeons, Quinnipinian, & many other subcultures of the Americas. Every culture has its ugly parts (Sexy Redd) but most recognize her and those like her as plants meant to present and preserve an ugly image.. she represents an agenda not culture. Our culture was systematically destroyed and belittled then rebranded within other cultures.
