I was described as & #39;angry& #39; recently, which obviously isn& #39;t a new phenomenon for Black women, but I& #39;ve really been sitting with that for the past couple days.
Reading Brittany Cooper& #39;s & #39;Eloquent Rage& #39; really gave me a new appreciation for anger and how it is definitely a valid reaction to oppression.
Plus, I think most people are dumb and honestly just call any informed thought, no matter how nicely expressed, that is generally unpalatable to then as & #39;anger& #39;.
I could literally be sitting on the couch, laughing with my kids and post something on the internet that someone disagrees with and thinks is provocative and suddenly I& #39;m & #39;angry& #39;.
That being said, sometimes I AM mad as hell. And nothing is wrong with that either.
