Self Hatred: The Mask – Is It Still Necessary and Is It Still Being Used
The fifth and final installment of the Self Hatred topic focuses on the mask and how it effects the Black Community.
The 3 Questions
1. Have you ever worn the mask and if so where and why?
2. Do we only where the mask when in the company of other races?
3. Will there ever come a day when the mask won’t be necessary?
FRONT STREET
We have all been there. We have all had that feeling We don’t belong in the rarified air of Our colleagues at Our jobs and in some cases Our friends and family. We have all had to wear the mask in order to make it through situations. But when does the mask become self hatred? When does wearing the mask become dishonest to yourself and what you are? Are you ashamed of who you are or are you just cognizant of the situation? These are questions that Black people consciously or unconsciously face everyday. Does the use of the mask contribute to the destruction of the Black Community?
