stop calling yourself black

#entomology of the work #black #dead is the #eyes of the #court

2025/6/2 Edited to

The term 'black' has a complex history that extends back to its proto Indo-European roots, evident in the word 'blac', which originally connoted meanings related to being pale or colorless. Over time, the evolution of the word has seen it incorporated into various languages, including Old French as 'Blanc', Italian as 'Bianco', and Spanish as 'Blanco'. This linguistic journey illustrates how language evolves and the cultural contexts that shape its meanings. Moreover, 'black' operates as an adjective rather than a proper noun in grammatical terms. In a socio-political framework, the designation of 'black' also intersects with historical and legal concepts, such as 'Civiliter Mortuus', which translates to being deceased in the eyes of the law. This legal context underlines how words carry weight beyond their definitions, inflating their significance in terms of identity and societal standing. Understanding these dimensions is crucial for a more profound discussion about race, identity, and the implications of terminology in contemporary society.

Stop begging the Universe with manifestation.

There is a quiet but important difference between manifesting and conjuring, and most people feel it long before they can explain it. Manifestation culture teaches you to ask nicely, stay positive, and hope something hears you. Conjure assumes something already does. Begging is rooted in lack.
