Hey !!!!!

If you’re a African-American Hoodoo practitioner, please do not get these three books, as they are written by white people who are doing digital blackface.

Hoodoo is a closed African-American spirituality practice that only African-Americans can practice. We do not have a lot of resources or books written by African-Americans so I will try to provide all the books that I use by actual African-Americans.

It’s upsetting that I find a book about Hoodoo thats written by a white person or a non-African-American person. I don’t like that.

Some African American Hoodoo authors I suggest are:

Stephanie Rose Bird

Monique Joiner Siedlak

and Tayannah Lee Mcquillar

I think people shouldn't be allowed to look at an African American who complains about America and tell them to leave.

Why?

We were brought here against our will. We built this shit show and contributed to the culture. We suffered at the hands of EVERYONE else who happened to be here. Certain Native American tribes included. Uh-huh. We didn't forget.

Oh, and we're still being shot due to the "They're dangerous' stereotype. We're are forever fetishized.

And even if we do leave the country, we're at the bottom of the barrel on this planet because we're black and AMERICAN!

Everyone legitimately dislikes us for whatever irrational reason. Whether it's because they think we're all gun happy druggies with no culture or because they think we're not well behaved and always rude. Promiscuous is what they see when they look at our women. It's despicable to me.

No matter where we go, we're gonna be treated the same, just in other places, they won't try to kill us, and it's less likely I'll turn up dead.

So no.

You don't get to tell me to leave. You can get your shit together and fix this mess you call a country and SAY THANK YOU!

tignon law of 1786

in louisiana, during the 18th century, a law was passed in order to outcast and oppress black women of color by forcing them to cover their hair with scarves. this was due to the fact that white people (especially women according to online sources) were jealous of their hair because of how eye-catching it was, so it led to african american women’s hair getting regulated. this led to women becoming creative and finding ways to make the scarves beautiful and still be following the law, which didn’t end until 1803. the tignon law is just another example of poc getting oppressed because of an unfair and biased legal system.

If you have elders living, I beg you to cherish the moments and conversations you have.

Even if you don’t agree, don’t understand, don’t relate, etc. They are further approaching the ancestral realm every day. Enjoy the PHYSICAL connection that you have with them while you have it.

I know I’ve mentioned this before but I’m gonna mention it every chance I get because after losing 2 grandparents in one year and losing 3 non-immediate elders within the family, I really can’t think of much else.

I know society has normalized ignoring them because you’re “living your life” and I’m not discouraging you from living your life but pick up the phone when you have the time. Stop by when you have the time. At family gatherings, put the phone down for a few minutes. Take pictures of them and with them.
