I wrote a book on Black beauty culture, Beauty in a Box: Detangling the Roots of Black Beauty Culture (2019) and to understand the topic, I read across multiple disciplines, geographies, and histories. This week’s post is a short historiography of the language of slavery and its classifying legacy in terms of skin colour, hair type, difference, and identity. Learning this history helped me think more deeply about why colourism, hair discrimination exists around the world, even in countries with majority Black populations. Colonization and its continued presence has little to do with population size. The bodily distinctions rooted in a racist logic that was brought to the Caribbean, and the Americas by Europeans exists anywhere there is a history of colonization. Why are there stories of colourism in Latin American countries with very small Black populations, for instance? May this week’s post provide some learning and understanding about the realities of skin and hair discrimination across the Atlantic world. #Slavery #Colourism #AtlanticWorld #Caribbean #Creolization #DominicanRepublic #Jamaica #FightingDiscrimination #KnowledgeIsPower #HairHistory #BlackWomen #BeautyinaBox #DrCheryl #BlackGeographies #BlackHistories #Language #BlogPost

It is Fake News Monday. It is also Black History Month. There is so much misinformation about Black History that I thought I would try to dispel a few myths here. -Slavery was a southern phenomenon and slaves didn’t have money. (Slavery existed in all 13 colonies before the Revolutionary War and some slaves did have money by hiring themselves out and through other avenues.) -Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves. (Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation but that alone did not free slaves.) -The Tuskegee Study infected Black men with syphilis. (The study "participants" were already infected. The problem was that they were not treated once penicillin became widely available.) -Brown vs Board of Education ended school segregation. (As if.) -Crack was the largest drug crisis in the 1980s among Black people. (Crack was more popular among White people but Black folks were sentenced for crack offenses much more often.) The above myths and explanations were taken from the Washington Post and Vox. For more fake news and disinformation tips, subscribe to my LinkedIn newsletter and preorder my book. www.pwhoffmann.com #fakenews #infodemic #misinformation #disinformation #blackhistorymonth

B/c of Convenant values! If someone asked you to name the most urgent crisis facing the Jewish community, “anti-blackness” or “intra-community racism” might not be among your first thoughts. But it should be. That’s because anti-blackness in the Jewish community is pushing black Jews out. Countless black Jews have made the difficult decision to leave Judaism completely, no longer identifying as Jewish. Why did they leave those identities behind? They could no longer deal with the constant racism. Every person that I interviewed for this article spoke of being exhausted of existing in white Jewish spaces. They told me how that exhaustion greatly altered their participation in Jewish community and their own Jewish identities. They spoke of feeling drained, mentally scarred, and depressed when they leave synagogues. People cannot thrive in communities that intrinsically sees them as outsiders. So they leave. I, too, am struggling with anti-black racism in the Jewish community, struggling to stay part of a community that all too often I feel doesn’t want me. Many times, I’ve considered giving up. Conducting these interviews was in a way validating, showing me I wasn’t alone in my experiences or feelings. Validating — and tragic. One of the reasons I love black gospel music so much is that I can think of no holier sound that the voices of black folks rising in unison. And in having these interviews, I got the privilege of listening to a chorus of black voices telling me their stories about being Jewish in spaces that do not want or respect black people. https://lnkd.in/d__mDjXa

Finding Healing In Black History Month (Part 1/3) This is the first of three segments from my Canadian Institutes of Health Research | Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada Keynote, “Reimagining Healthier Relationships to Research ‘Success’ and ‘Sustainability’”. I’m sharing these here because I find time and time again that these stories reach people navigating these shared colonial legacies in a way that helps us collectively heal. Clip Highlights: ✅ Article: I Grew Up With My Métis Roots. I Dug Deep To Find My Black Ancestry. (HuffPost, 2019, link in bio) ✅ Research: A Generative Perspective of Afro-Jamaican Fathers’ Socialization of Values for their Children in Middle Childhood (Amoy Marshall Green, Guelph University) ✅ Healing my relationship to my Blackness and African/Jamaican ancestry ✅ Intergenerational trauma in my Jamaican family ✅ Slave practices that targeted our traditional family units, particularly the roles fathers played, and the lingering legacies of this Part 2 explores how systemic analysis that spans across space and time helps me hold space to understand this and more in my life and work. #BlackHistoryMonth #bhm #bhmcanada #beingblackincanada #afroindigenous #blackfatherhood #blackfathers #blackparenting #transatlanticslavetrade #blackhistory #familyday

https://lnkd.in/da3FW_Js We honor Juneteenth, the day in 1865 when the enslaved people of East Texas at long last received word of their freedom, two and half years after President Abraham Lincoln’s emancipation proclamation. On this day we remember the Black struggle against chattel slavery and the exploitation and inequity which followed; acknowledge the enduring impact of this today; honor the resistance and remarkable accomplishments of the descendants of enslaved people; and celebrate how African American culture has shaped the U.S. and world culture so profoundly. Embracing Juneteenth as an opportunity for activism and education, Chacruna has curated some resources (link below) which address racial disparities, inequities, and struggles in the psychedelic field. These include our short film “Chacruna Debunks 6 Racist Myths from the Psychedelic Community”, articles from our latest series on Power and Discrimination, and our latest chronicles from brilliant Black thinkers tackling inclusivity, representation, and equitable access to the benefits of psychedelic research and therapies. https://lnkd.in/da3FW_Js #juneteenth #Blacklivesmatter #blm #Blackhistory #juneteenthcelebration #blackexcellence #happyjuneteenth
