Bloganuary 2023 - Day 4

What is a treasure that's been lost?

That is a loaded question. For me, the short answer is the exclusivity that is black people stuff (culture, fashion, cuisine, etc).

I know its 2023 and with the societal climate (some people are overly sensitive and believe they're entitled to inclusion), but in actuality, black culture has always been desired...hence how black people got from Africa to America in the first place. But this is not a history lesson about the truth behind slavery and the attempted demise of the black diaspora and everything black for that matter.

If you don't believe that literally anything that has been FUBU (For Us, By Us) isn't a treasure that has been lost, check out the most recent reason why black twitter has been in an uproar. I give it six months to a year that the most recent commercialized black hair care line will be sold to the highest bidder. And if it isn't I'll be pleasantly surprised.

What do you think is a treasure that has been lost?
