Activists need Luv

 Of late the Right and even Liberals have attacked Black Activists that seek to compensated  for their activism which has including threats on their lives and livelihood

For years Rosa Parks and other iconic Black Activists existed on basic survival mode without any independent income or support from literally millions of people who benefited from their activism 

I have always rejected the false narrative that activists must be meek and always sympathetic in our body of work with the oppressed in America 

I have always rejected the narrative that activists and artists must  experience suffering , despair and hard times to understand the reality of inequality and inequity in America 

Activists not only deserve to be compensated , rewarded and respected by the oppressed but Activists also need to challenge and condemn the backward attitudes and behaviors of the oppressed 

Everything is in play, nothing or no one  is given an pass or exemption from ending oppression and inhumanity in the marketplace. There are no safe harbors, venues, zip codes or people that are immune from my body of work 

I am an Activist… I am a Black Activist
