Because, god help us, we might have more doctorates. Researchers. Scientists. Educators. How on earth will America survive if we have Powerful, Brilliant Black Women?
The fear of the powerful Black woman is a living, breathing, awful thing. We criminalize Black in general but How Dare You, in America, rewrite the narrative about Black women by educating and empowering them? No wonder the FIRST priority for so many Black families after Reconstruction was an education. No wonder.
And we wonder why Kamala Harris so threatens so many.
Our fears as a (dying) White society are instructive, are they not?
