Hex Code Black

#3 | How can Black people dismantle the term ‘regular Black’… and stop using it?


Listen Later

Contrary to popular belief, all Black people are not the same. We are not a monolith. And unfortunately, monolithic thinking goes beyond just what society thinks of Black people. It also shows up in the way the Black people treat one another. How do we challenge our subconscious thinking and celebrate Black people and their glorious differences, perspectives, backgrounds, etc? Do we need to educate our peers, friends, and family more? Do we need to look at how class may play a role? OR do we simply say ‘f@ck it’ and stop fighting the normativity standard and just be ourselves?
