Searching for the Holy Grail of what it is to be "Black".
Black is something that at it's core is defined individually and constructed in the most intimate and personal manner. Simply put, each Black individual holds either an assumed, ill-defined, or satisfied definition of who they are, and what that means to them.
This is not to say that "Black" is excluded from the larger socially accepted definition, or that it is immune from cultural or political impositions; however it is to say that the diversity of the Black experience is such that each Black American, is a unique expression of a 500 year experience.
What does this mean?
It means that all Black individuals are born with a necessary caveat emptor obligation for self-definition. This process is known as "Nigressence" and through it nothing must be accepted and everything may be questioned.
And as is true for any living thing, this definition or understanding of "Black" is not static. "Black" is alive. it has creativity, spirit & soul. It is informed by it's ancestors, it gropes for truth, and it strives for the eternal blessings of the creator.
And so The Woozy is not here to define what it is, but rather to be a part of it...
