Why do I refer to African American men and women as Kings and Queens?

We are Kings and Queens because: Our culture runs deep in variation from rich in family traditions to the struggle of being one of the most oppressed cultures. Our fight within us and is a never-ending battle throughout our history and our future to come.

No matter if we are mixed with any other race we are still apart of this totality together. Rich or Poor, Educated or Uneducated (which is never true) you don’t have to be book smart to be life smart, education starts at birth, it starts within.

Black people are genetically built to rise, to succeed, to overcome, to stand out and to stand up. Usage of “Kings and Queens” is the foundation of our Pride, Culture, Status, Birth Right, and don’t leave out the expectation to be Respected by all. Under Kings and Queens are Prince and Princess <- those of who we teach, we build, we support. Under Kings, Queens, Prince, Princess is everyone else <- who we lead, we encourage, we set examples, we nurture, we teach that we are more than the labels we were given. We are more than the undermining we are apart of this world and its facts that we do stand out for a reason.

You know what I can spell it out for you my life is a comic relief of fuckery. I have good days like everyone else and I have bad days. I am fallen in routine to being something I have never wanted to be. Continue reading “Opposite of Rainbows & Sunshine”
