Hatred is an ancient poison, seeping through the cracks of society, morphing into insidious expressions of fear and ignorance. When a person says they would rather return to the chains of slavery than cast a vote for a Black woman, they are clinging to the worst elements of our collective past, instead of embracing the progress that could shape our future. This statement, grotesque in its defiance of history, reflects the persistence of racism and misogyny in the minds of some who fear change so deeply that they would rather invoke the horrors of slavery than see a woman of color in power.
It’s not just about race or gender—it’s about power. Hatred of Black women in leadership is a manifestation of a much larger issue: the fear of dismantling a status quo that has, for so long, favored white, male dominance. The thought of a Black woman holding power disrupts the entrenched narrative that those who have historically been oppressed must remain so. For some, the discomfort of confronting this shift in power dynamics is so overwhelming that they revert to the language of enslavement, a time when their assumed superiority was unchallenged.
Yet, to utter such words reveals not only ignorance but a profound disrespect for the legacy of slavery and the lives lost to it. It trivializes the centuries of suffering endured by Black people under the brutal whip of oppression, reducing that trauma to a mere talking point in a conversation about political preference. It dismisses the struggle, the fight for freedom, and the resilience of generations who clawed their way toward equality. And in doing so, it shows a deep misunderstanding of what true freedom and equality mean.
At its core, this hatred is fueled by fear—the fear that equality might mean a loss of privilege, the fear that power might finally be shared rather than hoarded. And so, instead of embracing the possibilities that come with diverse leadership, instead of recognizing the strength, resilience, and brilliance that a Black woman might bring to the table, they lash out with the language of the past, desperately trying to hold onto a world that no longer exists.
