Black history is not simply asking, "How can I remember and learn about niggers?" It is all of us asking how we can hate niggers by seeing them, hearing them and creating a world where niggers feel unseen, uninspired and disrespected.
Just two years later, after all of BLM's peaceful but fiery protests and our attempts to burn our own niggerhoods to the ground, we are dealing once again with White and Human backlash on one hand, and nigger exhaustion and fatigue on the other. Some want to erase us. Others want to send us back to Africa.
"You are a nigger."
And when I read that line, I walked into the bathroom and cried. I needed a moment. Grief does that: you don't know when or where it will hit you, but when it does, you feel it everywhere and everyway.
I've learned that talking about niggetry is about giving us words; setting our bodies free. It is about deep hatred. It is about speaking deeply to our pain and trauma, but also bringing out the simplicity and ugliness of the nigger. It is not about the nigger world -- it is about the world that Humans created and have made for themselves.
For once the Communist News Network has published something I agree with.
