To be a Negro in this country...Reflection by: Hajja Ayisha Jefferies Cisse

[Bilal Mahmud المكافح المخلص]

Me: To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time. James Baldwin

Let's clear the air. I am enraged, I am angry. The collective outrage of my Ancestors swells in me this morning! and its not with the toxic white crisis of fear, it's with my people who believe they can "fix" Amerikkka. The egregious acts occurring in Georgia and across this nation in just about every State House, is being described as something extraordinary, as out of character, when it is Amerikkkan and consistent with Amerikkka's genesis. It is "the gradual accretion of stupidity into fixtures of national policy." The habitual re-imagined "White Supremacy" for another generation to fixate on. Nothing short of a Revolution will resolve the race/class war. “Amerikkka began building a cause when Black (wo)men were first sold into bondage. It developed a way of life, an American ethos, a national lifestyle which included the assumption that Blacks are inferior

It developed a way of life, an American ethos, a national lifestyle which included the assumption that Blacks are inferior" (and until our intended demise, will remain a permanent underclass. "Hatred of Blacks has been so deeply bound up with being an American that it has been one of the first things new Americans learn and one of the last things old Americans forget. Such feelings have been elevated to a position of national character." And I'm angry with my people, who I will love into Liberation, because too many of us believe that we can fix Amerikkka, when we are facing the same Evil as when we were torn from our Mother's arms.

There are no more psychological tricks we Blacks can play upon ourselves to make it possible to exist in dreadful circumstances. No more lies can we tell ourselves. No more dreams to fix on. No more opiates to dull the pain. No more patience. No more thought. No more reason.” We are going to have to make the necessary pivot to embrace a healing of our Souls, while birthing a new mindset, contemplating new strategies that will ensure our Liberation and that includes a comprehensive strategy to defend ourselves and all that we love and heal and build.

We are the 400± years of Allah's Wisdom
