#blackhistoryeveryday — Public Fediverse posts

It's hitting me how the slow arc of justice my elders fought and died to set in motion has been halted by the Calais decision.

This morning, I was on a call with another (highly accomplished) middle-aged Black women and this is how we processed it together:

We are realizing that we (including our younger elder millennial sisters) are likely to be the LAST generation of Black women who will achieve so much.

This decision is not just a gutting of the VRA but the highest court's massive rejection of the idea that this country is, indeed, a land of opportunity for everyone.

The court is now an overt and explicitly complicit engine of white nationalism.

THAT is how much anti-Blackness has been simmering underneath this facade of 'American democracy.'

So now, Black folks, we need to decide. Retreat, close ranks to protect our own, and/or fight for a renewed Reconstruction on top of the smoldering ruins of this gotdamn system?
