My children thank you. 
I refused to teach them the anti-black, negative Merriam-Webster Dictionary definitions for darkness and blackness. Instead, I asked them to look at all colors as blessings embued with endless possibilities - defying singular and static definitions.

They grew up knowing the sacredness of black soil, the protection of the moonless night sky, and the genius of dark matter. They are now adults living with the daily structurally imposed damaging effects of institutionalized Anti-Blackness, nonetheless. They hold value in all human life and also understand that the killing definitions that blackness and darkness are unnaturally and brutally assigned - create real-life prejudice-driven danger for them.

I thank the 18,000+ people who have decided that the deadly prejudging of black and dark-skinned beings using outmoded racist/colorist dictionary definitions must stop. 

Please continue to share - you are shift humans onto an evolved path of compassion and equity.

Stay Well - Kin Folkz
