When Black people are outted for sounding white or liking white music, it is a "microaggression" a term coined by Chester M. Pierce, a psychiatrist and Harvard professor, in 1970. These are insults and dismissals against marginalized groups. I have experienced these micro aggressions growing up especially as my identity was developing. I suppose it can also mean that the person dealing the micro aggression feels hurt or betrayed by my identity. Ultimate Voyages solves the problem of dealing with micro aggressions during this time period because it offers a venue for the anxiety and confusion it causes. Later in life, I participated in African Ancestry DNA research and found out that I am 100% tribal West African on both sides of my parents. Since this is so, why would my identity gravitate towards white American sounds and such? Out of curiousity, of course. Which is the reason the micro aggression occurred in the first place. Feeling oppressed because you are marginalized doesn't have to involve witty comebacks. Understanding your curiosity and playing with it is a natural condition. I created Ultimate Voyages: the Comic Gaming Adventure Brand as a solution to moments of micro aggression! It is a respite or relief from something difficult or unpleasant. Now, I am curious about my African ancestry as it has been incorporated in my American identity. You should be too!
Has anyone ever told you that "you talk funny for a Black person?" or how about "you look like you're trying to be white!". While it isn't true that white people will confuse you, it is up to them to decide who passes in their inner circle not me or you.
