2019 is lookin a lot like how 2018 would have looked had procrastination, self-doubt and outright laziness not interfered.

Power, progression and all potential tapped into and realized, all this year and beyond ✊

REGARDING BLACK MEN REFUSING TO DATE BLACK WOMEN…

The issue here is that all of these groups of men and their value of their women cannot be analyzed outside of the context of colonialism. They cannot be analyzed outside of the fact that the black woman, and man, are the most despised and degraded group of people on earth. Society doesn’t value the black woman and that resentment is taught to all of us, including black women, from birth.

Asian women are uplifted in society, “Hispanic” women (by which I assume they mean Latina/ indigenous women cuz if they’re talking about women actually from Spain then they’re talking about white women) are uplifted, white women are the archetype, the standard of beauty, of worth, of womanhood period while black women are the opposite of the white woman- the opposite of her beauty, her grace, her worth, her womanhood and are treated accordingly.

How many of those same white, asian and Hispanic women would happily marry (not just sleep with) a black man? Very, very few. I’m also confident that black women unwilling to be with black men vastly outnumbers other groups of women unwilling to be with men of their own nationality.

This certainly isn’t the fault of the black woman but neither is it the fault of the black man.

This is the result of a societal standard that the entire world’s population subscribes to by default until they make a conscious effort to overcome it (decolonizing the mind). Black people, historically and presently, are the most disempowered, reviled, disregarded, degraded and brutalized people on earth and because of that, we learn to resent each other as well. We develop an inability to even see the value in the life of a black person, much less see one as a viable romantic partner. This is the root of any black person refusing to deal with another black person romantically.

Once this system that makes white people the standard of humanity and everything that stems from it (beauty, intelligence, dignity, worth) is defeated, that’s when black people will be able to enjoy a dignity, respect and societal praise/ upliftment that we haven’t experienced for hundreds of years.

That’s when the worth of our people will be the standard n we’ll most certainly be dating each other lol.

“ It seems like it should be so simple.

That I could respond to common questions,
Often meant to fill empty spaces and bring people together.

But our tragic flaw often comes as a result of us looking at the world how we would like it to seem, not for what it truly is.

So despite it seeming simple, it was the opposite.
While your curiosity hovered above my being, I for one could not take my my mind off of the tightness in my chest.

The clamminess of my hands.
The pounding of my heart against my chest.

And with the slight tilt of your head,
A soft brown gaze boring heavily into my own eyes…

I couldn’t help but wonder,
“Can you see everything I’m trying to hide?”

And sure enough,
If that dreamy stare and those curling lips were any indication…

So simply you could and in truth you already had.“ - Jade Annae Peters

dressed in African garb & dark sunglasses

taking notes
We didn’t realize who they were until their next recording had been released:
The Beatles Play Soulmusic”

“Can we pretend for 5 minutes?
Close your eyes
And dream in color
Paint me your favorite color
And outline me with broken chalks
You are your favorite fairy tale
Your grandmothers recipe to hugs
You have scars
With time, they transform to memories”
