Strength, the Lie!
Folks say, check on your strong friends...
If they and we are so strong...
Why is it required to check on us???
Strength, the Lie...
A fable created, through perception and projection...
Who desires, makes the decision to be a mule in this life...
Truth be told, this is why so many Black Sisters are angry...
Strong Black Woman was a label created for us...
WTF...why would anyone think it's the life we wanted...
Let's use our critical thinking skills....
Enslavement, patriarchy, socialization of unwritten rules and biases...
Created and brought forth this mystical being...
Bred into existence...the Black Superwoman...
In a life, we are expected to be everything, like it and get paid less in return...
Yet, unconscious people, think this is our station...
Men both Black and white, especially racist white women...
Where's the lie???...I'll wait...
While you think...burn out hair follicles...
Here comes the receipts...release the blindspots...blinders...
Open your eyes and mind to the truth...
The hierarchy, this structure built on who get served...
The value of bodies....according to...
A capitalist system that puts white alpha males first...
Next, white women, with a caveat...
Must be the European standard of beauty first...
From a family with money or have her own purse...are there exceptions of course...
Poor white people...which is why social programs were created...
Not out of care or charity...
This was self preservation, to keep the rich alive and thriving....why whiteness was created...
Oh...all of you that weren't considered white before...
Thought you were special...bubble burst...
Time for you to deep dive into your history...
On your own time...read the facts for yourself...
In this moment expecting someone (a Black Women) to be the mule...
Lazy, entitled...let me get back to my records of historical facts..
Black Women...being made the mules of society...
Black Mammies, to care and attend to every one's needs...
Black Brothers and Men, don't zone out or leave the conversation...
Your place is next in line...
After poor white people...
Black men directed and expected to keep Black Women in line...by force or fucking...it didn't matter...
Hold the patriarchal line...
Part of the...old boys system...
Created by enslavement partly... and religion...
Emasculation and tearing Black Men from families.
Yet, the first thing that white society points at... astonishing right???
The structure of the Black family...without Fathers...
Breathe Brothers...we know this is what you were groomed for...
To be unaccountable, powerless...living in rage...
While attempting to navigate a world that is "so called afraid of your existence"...eggshells or prison...
Unfortunately, with some the low vibrational Black men...
Thinking like white boys...no real care about anyone but themselves...
This is the burden on Black Sisters who want to love you through your brokenness...
All these piles fall on the shoulders and backs of Black Women...
A position we neither desired, deserved, nor sought out as our lives...
Centuries in the making...excuses and examples pointed to!!!
Told that was our station...
False exaltation...Black Sisters are long suffering...
Make struggle look easy...while ingesting poison...
This was the lie of strength fed...
That Black Sisters and Women love being strong...
Just a letter to let you know, all of your perceptions, projections, conditions are extremely wrong!!!
This boulder was placed on Black Sisters...
Lift it up, observe all the crushed, broken minds and bodies...
Those strong Black Women...
Lyrically yours,
MydNite Renaissance ❤️‍🩹
