Aramide A. Tinubu: Many mothers likely carry worries about the safety and well-being of their children. But for Black mothers like Mamie, this is a different sort of anxiety. - NBCNewsTHINK
United States on slave ships, Black children were ripped from the arms and lives of their Black parents.
They were sold for their labor or their wombs — sometimes both. When enslavement was no longer a viable option, racial terror put on a new face. Lynching and the Klu Klux Klan were fueled by white rage. It is a manic fury that destroys Black lives and inflicts irreparable harm on our community, especially on the psyches of Black mothers.about the safety and well-being of their children. But for Black mothers like Mamie, this is a different sort of anxiety.
“Black parents have with their kids, particularly boys. Teaching Black kids not to take up space as a way to protect themselves is something that Black parents still do.Following Emmett’s murder, Deadwyler gives a haunting performance in an intense courtroom scene. In it, we see a mother forced to defend her parenting skills and murdered son during a sham trial for the men responsible.
When asked why she warned him to make himself smaller in the South, she refuses to be ridiculed for trying to keep her son out of harm’s way. Instead, she forces the citizens of Money to face their monstrosity, even though she knows they will allow her son’s killers to get away with murder. It’s not just Deadwyler’s words; her eyes and facial expressions deliver heartbreak and determination.
Despite this vicious cycle of trauma, Black people have been able to exist and carve out ways to thrive and celebrate our existence and history, but it has deeply wounded a community that has already been through so much.
