Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion
Here’s an idea: how about we drop the swooning, astonished gasping about the near-daily historic black firsts and just celebrate hard-earned human accomplishment?
For some reason, the media loves to tout the historic “firsts” of black people as if it were the 1920s or even the 1960s. Pretty much any day of any week, you will find a new black “first” that they share as if it actually mattered in any way at all in 2022 and as if it weren’t completely insulting to the black person whose accomplishment is overshadowed by the only thing the media cares about: skin color.
So I wasn’t surprised to see headlines of the historic ‘first’ black skeleton Olympian. Another day, another black first . . . it’s almost like race doesn’t stop one from being successful in this country.
But one thing did strike me as odd. Where is her face?
