"Secrets lose their power once they are exposed!" That is what Dr. Angeline Dean firmly believes. Akkkademia tried to stop her from tellingher story, but she prevailed, and this is part one of her story. "We have been keeping everythingin the house and in our housed bodies for far too long and it is killing us, literally. It ispast time to pull the band-aid off and get healed. In fact, let's not only talk about it but alsodissect it" she asserts. The "it" she is referring to is white-injected oppression- a term coinedby Baba Wekesa Madzimoyo as his work seeks to heal African Americans of enslavement'spsychosis. Most know this term as internalized racism, yet when using the term internalizedracism, she learned that we are re-victimizing the victim.This book served as Dr. Dean's autoethnographic account (like that of a biography) of whatshe experienced by those who profess(ed) to be such access, success, inclusion, justice, progress, and power -to -the people focused...Yet served as straight-up plantation overseersand accomplices. In it, she shares how she is "tired of discussing and hearing about directencounters from 'whiteness, ' 'white delusional supremacy, ' whiteness as property, ' alongsideother pro-Black and critical theories while remaining silent, repressed actually, whendiscussing the social reproduction of whiteness's sickness and infection upon African American, Black, and Brown people wholistically. "If a white snake bites me, it's okay for me toexpose that, but if a Black, Brown, Bi-racial, or International Black snake bites me, then Iam supposed to remain silent while feasting on the poison? No Ma'am! No Sir! In fact- likemy uncle used to say, "Ah Hell to the Nawh! I've witnessed the afterlife of enslavementsabuse toward too many melanated students, African American students in particular. Melanatedto be exact-NOT colored in my opinion, because I do not subscribe to BIPOC.""I will NOT remain silent and play a game that relegates me to game-prey...I AM NOTyour animal! I AM a Human who is proud to be HUEman and a human BEing. I will notonly be free, but I seek to be whole. AND, I will not JUST be free but I. Will. BE. FreeinDeed!" This is Dr. Dean' daily declaration!In this book, you will read the intersections and interconnections of her theories, flow withher poetic methods, and witness her 'I was Never down with OPP model (Oppression PlantationParadigm).
