Episode 67: So Fuxing Dangerous

I Can't Fux With You! Confessions of An Uppity Black Woman

We fuxing with rage and pleasure today. This rage card keeps showing up and this rage indeed is warranted. The way the world comes at the #ubw, it is a wonder we have not all ended up in the clink. Instead we have trained ourselves to suppress these feelings and move forward with plastic smiles. We need no physician to tell us that suppression of feeling will not end well. The reinforcement of the suppression of true feeling bleeds into all aspects of our lives. Thus the version the world receives of us is one that is a lie, one that is not trustworthy, and the only #ubw I want in my life - are ones that I can trust. So how can we feel our feelings, and let rage work for us? This is found through engagement in activity that is pleasurable (which is separate and distinct from sexual). We deny ourselves pleasure, and in that denial our lives are not ones based in truth -thus easier to manipulate. Ruha Benjamins recent speech at Spelman College, makes this clear. Audre Lorde in her essay, Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power, makes this clear. Chic-Fil-A, Trump, the Sistas, and Atlanta make this clear. Diamond and Silk of Trump fame, make this crystal clear! How does one reject the status quo, the expectation of the denial of pleasure? Why does the world require #ubw deny herself pleasure? It is because, a #ubw empowered from her seat of power, which is one that moves to the rhythm of what feels good, is so.fuxing.dangerous.
