As a result of 400 years of generational trauma, many negative stigmas surround ” Black Love.”
“Black females must understand that we always will be oppressed, as will our sons and daughters unless Black men are liberated to defend themselves, Black females and Black children from all attacks and insults… The first lessons to Black Women were harsh and cruel ones of sexual assault and abuse, taking their children away and forcing them to watch their men being lynched and castrated. But then these harsh lessons were followed by milder treatment of Black women as compared to Black men. Black women were given extra food, money, clothing, and other gifts for their special favors to the [enslavers]. They were rewarded for correctly teaching their children to conform to the enslaver’s wishes, as well as for telling their men to calm down and be patient so that they too could be rewarded.” – The Isis Papers by Dr. Frances Cress Welsing.
Regardless of what history has taught us, Black love remains magically undefeated. Hearts lead by love over hate will stand as a true testament of time. Black couples continuously break generational curses by making a living mockery of the statics and odds stacked against them.
