I've heard blanket statements about Black Nerds, but we need people in different areas working towards our betterment. There are Black nerds with the ability to get messages out for our betterment in their comics and animated shows. There are Black Nerds behind the camera who can deliver messages and produce content for our betterment. There are Black Nerds behind the computer able to program software and create social media platforms for our betterment.
You see racism in facial recognition software, shows, comics, and all these other areas considered spaces where a nerd would occupy, but how many on-code Black people would be interested in these spaces if they fear having targets put on their back?
Enemy behavior is the thing to keep your eyes on. There are a number of people who dabble or earn a living in these spaces and you can find some of them leaking certain info about White Supremacists, working with other on-code Black people to get films produced, APPs, taking care of the programming and editing on shows and podcasts. You have full platforms that are anti-White Supremacy that get tossed in the trash when it comes to labeling Black Nerds as one big coon. There are on-code Black soldiers who read comic books also, which sometimes that love happens to come from reading books in general and the change of pace comes by way of comic books and comic strips.
That said, this isn't just an open door pass for anyone. Black Americans, put in the work for our betterment so that we can collectively benefit, it's all about showing and proving. You don't have to go out and put on a performance that places another target on your back, but don't make things harder on us by working against us. Don't sit up and ever think of taking it lightly on White Supremacy, don't be a naysayer against our empowerment, be pro-reparations just like other groups are for their tangibles, do your part in other areas when able.
Black people in general can do the same thing, don't work with White Supremacy against Black Americans or any other on-code Black people. Don't be Candace Owens going on TV to tell the world why they need to place more targets on us or you too would be an enemy of Black Americans. The day I hear the news about that bitch passing away, I'll be throwing a party, but I digress.
I'll leave you with this, take another look at the Black Nerds and consider how much of an impact technology plays when it comes to what we're doing, the future and how they can be utilized. Not all are created equal, so being a Black Nerd doesn't just make someone a pro at programming, but I welcome my Brothas and Sistas from that space. You might might realize that you're considered a nerd when you think about it. Be the best at what you do for your betterment and ours.
