What Ever Happened to Our Blackness? Our 'Wokeness' is Under Woeful Siege and We are Clapping Out Loud and Proud


The era of Black wokeness and stardom has never been as dimmed with its pretentious dysfunction and destruction of sensibility, nobility, and pride.  Our ancestors became free from mental and bodily bondage,  and for and by their sacrifices, they paved the way for ours and future generations to be free and lit and woke,  to be our full unapologetic authentic selves.   

Asking for my friends, the parents of small children, teens, and young adults, when did our collective "wokeness" become skewed in the fallacy of leading social media influencers and their abject disregard for the societal, moral, and behavioral norms or considerations?

When Lil Nas X was a practical unknown, his hit song Ole Town Road, won him millions of audience streams from toddlers to young adults.  He skyrocketed to orbital reach capturing the hearts and pockets of children and adults with a ravishing appetite for more of his music.

As Lil Nas X climbed the pinnacle of fame and stardom, he climaxed his torpedic rise in the music industry, with his flaming sexual agenda of  'out and proud' and being his authentic self.

Is it his musical talent or his prized openly gay sexuality that makes the artistry so evocative and themed in the armor of his pleasure palette?  Should we question or criticize, we may have a Twitter tsunami of followers exhaling hate expletives to anyone daring to contest the hard-core exploitation of its younger school-aged generational audience. No, parents were blindsided. Lil Nas X became more prolific as his music catalog became more X-rated. 

Can we present the Nicki Minaj viral award for maleficence? Minions of barbs and many public international media houses provided exhaustive forums and unsubstantiated discussions on rabid mistruths about the pro and cons of vaccination. All the nonsensical pontificating, because Ms. Minaj with her millions of followers,  spoke to her truth with the unlikely cousin, uncle, swollen testicles tale of  C19 vaccine inertia.

Cardi B has created a bible of song scripts describing actualized definitions of sexual prowess.  That WAP is treated as conjecture for young girls of every age,  up through teen to adults is the public education in sexual exploration. Every erotic fantasy in lyrics conjured is poetically enunciated and articulated verbatim verse for a verse like pros by young listening ears.

In the new social etiquette dictionary search, where being obscured from any form of reality is a remedy for viral reach, the words large or fat are labeled as truth shaming.  Lizzo is Queen of the debacle of the monstrous notoriety of excessive and visually over self-infatuated BIG. She is the anointed woke glamor example.



Lizzo Bares Almost All in See-Through Mesh Gown for Cardi B's Birthday Party
All the rumors are true: Lizzo showed up to Cardi B's 29th-birthday party in a completely see-through dress. See the "Good as Hell" singer's bold look below.

A picture paints a thousand words.  I see naked over the top with a sheer sheet covering. Do you see what I see? 

For Pop culture readers,  the last paragraph in the article glowingly sums up this iconic spectacle

There was also no shortage of love for the rapper as fans, friends and other celebs, including Halle Berry, showered her with birthday wishes. "Happy birthday to this sweet sweet soul," Berry tweeted. "Hope you have the most beautiful day @iamcardib." The actress' message did not go unnoticed by Cardi.

"Thank you soooo much," she tweeted in response. "Like imagine Halle Berry wishing you a happy birthday? Like omgg."

From the 2nd verse of the Black Nation Anthem, Lift Every Voice and Sing

Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
