Dear Black Woman, You Have a Right to Be Angry!

 


 


It’s been nearly three months since  the brutal murder of
Breonna Taylor & all we have is a total disregard for Black
life & an incident report filled with lies.


Is it not enough that Breonna Taylor was shot EIGHT times while
sleeping in what was supposed to be the safety of her OWN HOME?


Is it not enough that the city of Louisville has been and STILL
is extremely elusive and downright dishonest about the
circumstances surrounding the death of Breonna Taylor?


Is it not enough that the life of a 26 year old Black women was
TAKEN due to NO FAULT of her own?


Is it not enough that the family of Breonna Taylor  is left
grieving her untimely death?


 


IS ANY OF THAT NOT ENOUGH?!?!?!


 


Now, the LMPD has the CAUCASITY to release an incident report
that is————–let’s just call it what it is, a BLANK piece of
paper!


So, even after all of this……….


Black women are still expected to sit in silence.  We’re not
supposed to push back and when we do, we’re deemed, domineering,
aggressive, too confrontational, ANGRY!!!


You know what I say to that??


It’s time for ANGRY BLACK WOMEN to RISE THE FUCK UP! 


…Because we have a got damn right to be angry. 


 
The family of Breonna Taylor has a right to be
angry!

 


Now, let’s be clear! We don’t mean the trope – the myth of the
Angry Black Woman———


We’re referring to the Angela Bassett, “This is me being
resolute and standing firmly in my truth” Angry Black
Woman!


Black women in America have long been dragged, have been dogged
out by negative stereotypes – stereotypes that are rooted and
grounded in racism and slavery.


And today  we’re saying NO MORE!! Today, we’re saying,
enough is enough because we’re in this space to help heal a BLACK
FEMALE NATION!


And HEALING DOES NOT HAPPEN IN SILENCE. 


Malcolm X was unequivocally correct when he said,


The most disrespected person in America is the black
woman. The most unprotected person in America is the black woman.
The most neglected person in America is the black woman.

WE DESERVE BETTER!  BREONNA TAYLOR DESERVES BETTER!

 


In this episode, Shirl and Natty share their feelings about the
incident report of Breonna Taylor released by the Louisville
Metro Police Department and how we can each use our voices to
positively affect change in the Black community while standing up
against anti-blackness and systemic racism.
