How to use blackness in a sentence?
This year, to me, is just reflective of what I’ve always understood about this country, and that is that steps forward, steps towards racial progress, are always met with an intensive backlash. That we are a society that willfully does not want to deal with the anti-Blackness that is at the core of so many of our institutions and really our society itself.
But for a Black person to do that, somehow that's criminal. So you have the criminalization of Blackness coursing through this thing.
Blackness is not a monolith, it’s important to have a variety of people in front of kids just because it expands their view. A lot of times in inner cities, it’s easy for their world to become small.
The fact that we still see this( dehumanization of Blackness) is, I think, proof that we've not really come that far, i wish that I had a silver lining. But I think that we're going to continue to see these kinds of narratives play out because they're so effective, ultimately( at reinforcing existing power structures).
When you combine the psychological impact of racism, anti-blackness, economic conditions, red-lining, disinvestment.
