Kali Hawk Instagram – 😯Last year, when @DamarisLewis and I were talking about #BlackHistory Month, I was going on and on about the time before #CivilRights or #slavery or racism. 💃🏽I told her all about the #Moors and the #Almoravids 👑Black #Nobility and Black Saints. There are still remnants of that time all over #Europe and it wasn’t even that long ago. It was a time before #race even existed, when people could be whatever they wanted and no one thought about what color anyone was at all. At a certain point, after hearing all this, Damaris asked: 👀”So how did we get to where we are now?” 🙊And this is where I kinda stopped talking because I knew the answer. A couple years ago I had dedicated a long series of posts to this very topic, but when my IG was hacked and all of my #woke posts got deleted, 😔I tried to forget about all that #information bcuz it presented me with a #reality that was just too grim. I really didn’t want to have to write everything out again, or face all that information. But I never stopped thinking about giving Damaris her answer. 🙏🏽Luckily, many ppl reposted some of my #BHM posts so I was able to find them again. With that, I will begin my series of #BlackHistoryMonth posts with the #history of race itself. What is #white 🤔what is Black, and how did we get to where we are now? Let’s begin…
