I mean….really? You may not be an Afropessimist but you are definitely an Afrosnowflake…you must live comfy to worry about global warming instead of black-on-black violence going on in our inner cities every night. Surely you must not get caught up funeral procession traffic of a young person trying to drive around the black community…global warming, sista?

Afropessimism is rooted and conditioned by structural racism and inequality. Slave hymms are the original papers of Afropessimism. While understandable, Afropessimism does not create solutions but reinforce negativity.

Afrofuturism is pretty much Afrofauxism dabbling into future projections of black identity in a future society but again, do not create solutions and reinforce magical realism.

The Afro-Tech is real..right here and right now real. Understand the problem and adopt success patterns and practices to execute and deliver. And things get created and situations get handled.

Maybe you need to cry more for black people than polar bears before trying to lecture on these matters, just a suggestion.
