One thing that really gets under my skin is hearing “Black” people say, “We are not our ancestors.”
Speak for yourself.
Our ancestors weren’t just victims—they were organizers, builders, protectors, and defenders of their communities. They included men like Robert F. Williams, who organized a group called the Black Armed Guard, and organizations like the Deacons for Defense and Justice, who lawfully protected Black communities and civil rights workers when others would not.
Their courage, discipline, and commitment to armed self-defense are part of our legacy.
I don’t reject my ancestors.
I AM MY ANCESTORS.
