    I was chatting with a Black friend of Jamaican heritage. She was appalled that a Nigerian she'd met knew next to nothing about slavery.It's Black history! she said.It's *your* history, I explained. For Africans that sad story ended when the ships left the shore. Our schools teach us about the impact of that devastation, not what happened on the other coast. Black history is not one thing. It's not MLK. It's also Songhai and Benin. Which they don't teach here #BlackMastodon

    Oof. #Therapy was deeeeep today.For the first time, I realized that we (Black folks) are potentially in another diasporic moment wrt all the current fascist shenanigans.Like, if These Assholes get the country they want, this will force a number of us to flee. All I could imagine during the session was a data viz of millions of little dots flowing from Africa to the Americas; then the dots growing and multiplying along the north- and southeast; then the South; then the Great Migration North (and the smaller one westward); and now...the unknown streams of Black folks *away* from America...back to Africa?We talked about the burden of legacy that exists in Black families (usually in the form of the one family member who has been assigned that role of legacy keeper). I wear that double legacy in my family: enslavement on one side, colonialism and migration on the other.All this on my birthday.#BlackMastodon #BlackFedi
