Both Black men and Black women have to worry about being wrongfully mislabeled and written off as, and getting punished for being an 'angry / aggressive Black man or woman' no matter the situation.


And when you realize and accept this unfortunate fact that such racist judgment and practices can lead to very real devastating consequences, it ironically makes you even more angry, hence driving you into fitting the stereotype even more. No other race of people are collectively punished this freaking harshly for being human and showing human emotion / reaction.


Dismissive and awful oppressive shit like this causes stress, high blood pressure, and other medical illnesses too. Not just a shit diet, genetics, and certain lifestyles. In fact, it's quite hard to make a lot of meaningful and healthier lifestyle changes when systemic anti-Black racism is an involuntary, oppressive part of our lifestyle that threatens our existence as well as our well-being and safety. You can't talk about some damn climate change, rescue plan for endangered species, and threats to our environment without talking and doing about this currently dangerous, vicious, global anti-Black environment that is threatening Black life everywhere.
