James Baldwin on Racism’s influence on black self worth and self esteem.

the black skin is not a a badge of shame ,but rather glorious symbol of national greatness.

Baldwin was so brillant......

That’s Nikki Giovanni right!? The woman he’s talking too

I'm not black, but what he is talking about applies to billions of non-white people around the world, that have been colonised.

America has spent a great amount of time running away from its history trying to be white . Time has come to grow up and crush our narratives. @TPstudios #ShiftTheCulture

So powerful and so true. A sad reality

I will say it the way it is, this is one of the many reasons why Black people voted MAGA. We must reshape our future by inspiring a new way of looking at one another. We must unpack our historical baggage to do this. @AttorneyGriggs @TPstudios @AmericanRaceTNT

The wisdom and power of this incredible man's words always touch my soul in some way.

I could listen to him over and over again 24/7 & still learn more.

This very much sounds like a people traumatized and some even collaborating with their perpetrators by mirroring them as is detailed in the book “The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma”
