On Top of Our Charred Bones: Many Black People Suffer From Generational Stockholm Syndrome
<p>In 1903, W.E.B. DuBois, a prominent civil rights activist, published his essay, “The Souls of Black Folk” where he analyzes his life as a Black man in the United States. In the essay, he calls out the hypocrisy of white Americans because it had been nearly 40 years since Emancipation, but they continued to violate the Constitution by manipulating, reneging on agreements, and resorting to terrorism, and murder to prevent Black<br />
Americans from utilizing their fairly won rights to evolve out of servitude. In turn, DuBois said this was robbing the country from receiving the great contributions that Black people could bring. This narcissistic an animalistic behavior of white Americans, drove a rift between the two races which DuBois describes one side of the rift as “the veil” with constant references to shadows and darkness, and the other side beyond it as where white<br />
people dwell with its “dazzling opportunities” as just “the other world”.</p>
