Dee Miller Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 How do you define Black Greatness? I would say that I was born with Black Greatness. My skin - dark as the night – until the light reveals my hue. My face - beautiful as the night sky, present in every episode of life. My heart - mysterious as a dark room until the warmth of my love fills your soul. Yes Ms Clairol, I was born with Black Greatness what’s your claim to Black Greatness?

richardmurray Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Well, I define Black Greatness, absent any desire to influence another's definition, as contentment. I think when Black folk are happy, nothing like it exists anywhere else in humanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, none of this feel-good (stuff, so to speak) makes any sense. Black greatness is the ability to boldly execute to completion, prosperity and success, without relying on anyone's help or permission. The color of one's skin, the beauty of one's face, or the warmth of one's love is totally irrelevant in today's hardened real world of precision, perfection and dominance. As many know, if you're looking for acceptance and acknowledgement, people will walk all over you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Miller Posted September 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 @nels your response show cases that you are, indeed, black greatness! Thank you for sharing. The premise of my words is that black greatness IS. Just thought I’d put a poetry spin on it.

As black people, we always have to be hyper-aware of not only our ever changing surroundings, but the constant barrage of 'incoming' fire that those who are not black or identify as black, don't see.
