Some may think this comparison is extreme, but if you can't see how deeply damaging all of this is to our collective psyche twisted misinformation downplaying historical & present-day atrocities will be our demise. #KarmicTies π« . 4:44am This #FullMooninCancer has me open & standing in my #truth is the only way I can be. Tried rushing through my #healing process this year, but no matter how much I pushed myself to get over fears & traumas quickly 2018 dismantled so many illusions #fullmoonenergy . #Repost from @revolutionary_mindset - #ShutDownSlavePlay #SlavePlay LINK FOR #PETITION IN MY BIO This is the letter I sent to the theater: This past Saturday I attended Slave Play for the 8pm showing. I wanted to verbalize that this was one of the most disrespectful displays of anti-Black sentiment disguised as art that I have ever seen. As a Black woman I was terribly offended and traumatized by the graphic imagery mixed with laughter from a predominantly white audience. I feel that the playβs writer and director, even as Queer Black men, were viscous in their depictions of #slavery, #Black sexuality, and specifically targets #Blackwomen. Slavery and its pervasive consequences that still affect the #descendants of #US #chattelslavery are not funny and I am extremely disappointed that all involved thought this was an appropriate tool to challenge that status quo on race relations. While I understand the subjective nature of art, there should be a line that freedom of expression does not cross when itβs connected to human atrocities, especially ones that have not truly been atoned for. The only reason I didnβt leave, like a couple of others, is that I wanted to watch the play in itβs entirety to gain full context of the vision. I was sadly disappointed that the final scene would be so degrading to my psyche. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrpRGQZH4EQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t98xx0v5tz3f
