Mitochondrial Eve

I recently attended a Webinar by Black History Studies that was triggering, insightful, motivating, and disturbing all at once. This subject matter at hand: The History of Anti-Black Racism in Science & Medicine. We all know the undeniable difference that Black people experience in western healthcare. In fact whether in the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, or the Netherlands, the Black Woman is 4-5 times more likely to experience complications antenatally/postnatally, or experience mortality secondary to childbirth. Is this any surprise when the ‘Founding Mothers/Fathers’ of European (western) medicine were racist bigots? I should hope not. The reality is that we have become subservient and dependent on the very system that was constructed to take us out, and no matter how many of us join their system, try to get into positions of power, or how much we treat them with lovingkindness and forgive them 7×77 times, their wickedness, tyranny and malice will NEVER end (or do you think something will suddenly change after all these centuries?). Equality, especially in healthcare is something that they do NOT strive for because they cannot afford it. The foundations of their system is built on the Backs of Blacks, and they NEED the Black (wo)man to remain suppressed, oppressed and depressed, so they can continue to live in their delusional reality that is fuelled by a false sense of superiority. We are most vulnerable when our men are not in the homes, and when they’re off the streets, so why would they free those of us that are innocent and treat us with respect and understanding when they don’t actually respect us. Their actions (brutality and wickedness) speak far louder than their words (pretend laws and policies).

Science tells you that the Black woman is Eve, and it tells you that the origins of humanity lay with in us. They cannot handle that truth and therefore accepting such will only lead to cognitive dissonance, something that they are not prepared to face. The only time the Black woman is shown any kind of likeability outside of our race is out of lust when we are fetishised or worse, when they need our wom(b)anhood for their own selfish purposes.

Did you know that the white race is dying faster than they’re reproducing?

Did you also know that China is at risk of a negative decline because of the one baby per family rule that they implemented a few decades ago? (Interestingly, Africa is also at risk of Chinese colonisation… In fact, I’d go as far as to say its already in the works).

Did you know, however, that by 2050, approximately 25% of the worlds population will be found in Africa (the home of Black people), and if you were to count the rest of the Black Diaspora, where exactly does that take our numbers?

Furthermore, Africa has a youthful population whereas white people have an aging population–one of many reasons for their decline in numbers. We’re also reproducing faster than were dying out (shout out to mitochondrial eve), and we have the blessing of youth on our side (exactly what we need with a war on the horizon). They need us for reproductive purposes, they need us so their own bloodlines can thrive, they need us so THEY don’t fall into extinction. But most of all, they need us for their system to remain intact. They’re using us for their own selfish gain and so many of us are falling into the trap (interracial unions-but let me not digress, I’ll save my thoughts on that controversial topic for another day). If you keep the Black man out of the home, manipulate the Black man and woman to hate each other, then create a saviour complex and have us believe that love ‘has no colour’, that the Black man doesn’t know how to tend to the needs of the Black woman, and “not all of ‘them’ are like that”, they can easily infiltrate our genome whilst simultaneously ensuring we take ourselves out.

It’s time we become privy to their game plan, and see the truth of their feelings in their actions, and the lies of their heart in their words. What have their actions been showing us, and how (if at all) do their actions align with their words (?). Black Queens, you are wise and strong. You are beautiful and full of purpose. You are resilient and love, though you have experienced pain, trauma and suffering. The experience, uniqueness, greatness and majesty of the Black woman is indescribable. The Black woman is many things, but we seem to have lost focus of the Goddess within.

To all my Eves out there, we need to remember that we DO NOT suffer alone. There is one other that suffers with us, for us, besides us, and that is The Black Man. He is broken, as are we, he his suffering just like us, he is lost and in a state of despair, but instead of hating and hurting him for the wrongs he commits and for the pain that he has internalised from them, let us focus on our demons, on our healing, and holding ourselves accountable for our own weaknesses. Let us raise the bar and live at a higher standard, and as we rise, so will the Black Man, because there is no man without woman, and no woman without man. So instead of fighting against each other, let us unite and stand, toppling over the foundations that they have built, and move together to builder something brighter and better for the next generation to come.
