Mental Health

Black people's mental health is in crisis.

Black people’s mental health is in crisis. This is by design. When people are unstable, they are easily manipulated.

White supremacy is on the rise. We see it in every country on the globe. Even in the ones that we consider independent Black nations and members of the African diaspora. Haiti is a perfect example of this. The first Black independent country in the Western hemisphere resulted from a revolt of enslaved Africans. Those formerly enslaved Africans fought for their freedom like many others have before, but the difference is they paid the penalty for their freedom. They paid for their flesh as property back to France. Millions, reported to be billions in today’s currency, were paid to the French for the loss of property and enslaved Africans. Haiti has never been stable.
