Longing for Mammy

     

     You aren’t truly concerned about Kamala Harris.  You are questioning where she is because you have a longing for mammy.  You truly believed that no matter how many times you avoided doing the hard work, a “sturdy” Black woman would always come along and make it better for you.  You were certain that you would be able to [continue] to “arm chair quarterback” yourself out of the tyranny of the Trump administration.

     Surprise, surprise….adulthood has come knocking and the door must be answered.

     You must reconcile with yourself that you have been [fervently] indoctrinated into the belief that Black

 women exist only to be in servitude to you.  Credit-less servitude.  You have been made to believe that everything will work out due to the [imminent] arrival of your fairy god-mammy.  

     Fight the urge to argue and let the words sink past the surface.

     This is how we CONTINUE to arrive at tyrannical moments in history.  Society [as a whole] has become too comfortable punching down on and relying upon the survival instincts and the nurturing character of Black women.  Why do you think that so many of you had no issue waving your flags of misogynoir during the last race to POTUS mountain? Why do you think that so many of you were comfortable registering to vote (in record numbers) to be a “no call no show” on Election Day? Why do you think that you are [currently] working overtime to [pretend] t wonder how we got here?

     Newsflash…it’s the same reason you keep trying to goad the Black community into fighting to fix what you smashed to bits.  You are heartbroken and enraged that your dear ol’ mammy didn’t appear like Superman to save the day.  This is why you want Harris to do what you complained but Trump doing,  wield influence over US politics while as private citizen.  

   The US is a nation brimming with people that live to recreate iconic battles and talk about how “Americans” are fighters and “take nothing sitting down”.  Translation, they love to hold on to portions of history where they believe that white people were victorious saviors.  This is a nation that is run by and catering to those that rely on the work [and more] of the melanated.  Euromericans [predominately] enjoy cosplaying Rambo, while DEPENDING on communities they oppress to keep them alive live overworked, sleep deprived parents.

     Currently, you have no hiding place from adulthood.  You are FINALLY tasked with being the “head of household” you have revised history books to depict you as.
