Truth: Black People Often Hold Little Value
I know most people don’t want to face this truth. I know many people will say within their group of people, they also hold little value, but this article isn’t about you. If you want to make it about you, go write an article on your experience, and tag me, so I can read it and develop empathy for your group of people. But don’t make this moment about you.
The problem that Black people often hold little value in society and are not seen as human beings is more than evident.
Bombed, burned, unidentified, Black, & exploited – as a child (not that being an adult condones this behavior) might I add. Not a surprising combination for a Black person in America. But this combination does justify the fact that many Black people have been and are mistreated without a bat of an eye.
I wonder: why did it take decades for this issue to get addressed?
Other Issues That Took FOREVER To Accomplish For Black People:
The abolition of slavery
The right to vote
Desegregation (this is kind of debatable still)
Interracial marriage
Anti-Lynching laws (still in progress)
The opportunity to be seen as a human being
I’m still flabbergasted that this actually happened. I try not to read the news much because of sh*t like this, but when I do see something like this, I have to speak on it because this kind of behavior is not okay, and it never will be. Hopefully, there will be legal action taken. I mean there is a family out there that was stripped of the opportunity to find and identify their deceased child; their child was exploited (for “educational purposes”) decades long by a wealthy Ivy League school. Any loving parent should be able to empathize with this situation no matter the color of the child.
