Y'all "Black" women need to definitely let go of the Orthodox slavery
narrative because above all, it didn't happen to you anything like how
you were taught in school. I would say close to 95% of y'all have no
maternal West "African" lineage at all.
There is no "curse" that you are under ; the curse is being indoctrinated and subconsciously clinging onto way more bullshit than the average person. These people who are trotted out as your "leaders" are anything but; they are all figureheads.
When Zora Neale Hurston claimed that y'all were "da mule of da world", she was right in the sense that your reputation for having a stubborn attitude and constant pursuit of attaining an image of femininity outside of yourself (just like dangling a carrot in the mule's face) is frequently used as a tool to benefit others waay more than it benefits you, if it benefits you at all (just like how mules do the heavy work for people on the farm).
In general, where we go wrong is when we promote the idiotic, yet socially acceptable notion that women need to be "saved" and "protected"......from themselves. This either leads to men abusing women, or women abusing men. I'm not here to down anyone that has actually been a victim of a traumatic circumstance or to overlook male dysfunction, but I think one can agree that many of y'all need to get off of the "Po' miserable woman"/"Skrong, independent woman"/'Black' damsel in distress crackpipe. "Doing better"/enlightenment has more so to do with learning to handle thinking (and feeling) for yourself, building (or rebuilding/maintaining) healthy habits, and deconditioning one's subconscious mind from accepted falsehoods than anything else.
