Yesss! Preach it, Queen! Everything we're seeing now is borne of fear, fear of the white man losing his grip, his place as the arbiter of what society should be. There's a principle in Psychology called "extinguishment;" simply put, it means negative behaviour gets worse before it gets better in the face of challenge (think toddler tantrums). They fear the Black woman and her strength, her resilience and her intelligence because they know they are no match.

Be loud, be difficult, be you. The world doesn't change without dissenting voices. Thank you for the mention, I'll continue being difficult over here. :)
