Dear Dean Magazine: December 22, 2022

TWEET OF THE MONTH
TOTM
Many others deep dive into the reasons we are here
but I don’t know if any look at it from this specific angle.
I don’t believe the country or parties can “merge” and
find detente until the two dominant political factions
“reconcile.”
It’s not Black men vs. white men.
It’s Black women vs white men. That relationship is
*thee defining broken relationship now and since day
one. The most loyal democratic voter and the most
loyal republican voter. Their separateness best defines
this nation’s eternal struggle.
It is founding father vs founding mother in a national
historic scale. Black women birthed and raised two
separate and unequal nations. Her children remain at
war with one another. The founding father refuses to
accept her as equal & actively works to block, prevent,
destroy her.
Because she reminds him of his failings and his inability
to control her and her and his offspring, many of whom
are a constant reminder of his lust/love/hate
relationship with her. She reminds him through us in all
our shades of blackness that HE helped bring about.
All these colors are initially because of him. And he
hates the reminder, so he hates her and us. He refuses
to acknowledge their offspring, hides their history, and
like divorced fathers on Jerry Springer, denies he IS the
father. But our DNA is littered with his forced sperm,
like the sample below from my own DNA profile that
shows all the European DNA that I am millions of
African Americans have but which affords us...nothing
because our skin color and features masks the raping
of our foremothers.
