Before Hate Spitfires My Blackness Into A Casket, I Will Speak, Myth

Abstract

When talking about racism, media, and mental health, I believe the conversation must also become one about narrative. Racism depends upon narratives which dehumanize one group in order to benefit another.

For the hand that lets it go
For the violence sown into––
My condolences to the generations of Mothers
Who swallow grief by the clip
