#TheMelaninReset #TheLostCause #AmericanBlackAfricans In this episode of @The Melanin Reset , Valarie Winn gives insight to the following questions:(1) Have you ever wondered if America was truly built on white supremacy? Do you every wonder why Black African Americans say that there are two Americas?(2) Have you ever heard of the Lost Cause of the Confederacy? (3) Have you ever heard of the Daughters of the Confederacy? (4) Have you ever questioned what America teaches its children and who influenced the curriculum?(5) Have you noticed that at least 1/3 of the American people believe that the Civil War wasn't just about slavery or slavery at all? (6) Have you connected the dots that 1/3 of the American people believe that the insurrection on January 6th was justified? (7)Have you ever why Black African Americans were and still to this day terrorized by and discriminated against by Whites and this country refuses to hold itself accountable for it? If we truly want to understand the state of race in America, we need to know and understand the parts of American History that coerced ideologies that perpetuated false narratives of Black/African Americans. This is not an alternative to American History, but it is American History that is inclusive of formerly enslaved American Black Africans (Black/African Americans), their descendants, and other non-white Americans.

In this week's episode Valarie Winn continues the conversation about Being Black in America.  Along with her husband who is on the video version of the podcast, they take a deep dive into unpacking all of the "Eclipse of Will Smith" and the healing balm of Black Love from their perspectives. They understand that what happened at the Oscars is deeper than what we have all seen on the surface and they took an introspective approach to analyze what happened, why it happened, and how we should move forward. It's like Jay-Z said, “No One Wins When the Family Feuds” and there were so many wins that were eclipsed by the actions of one man. He even eclipsed his own achievement. While Will took home the Academy Award for Best Actor, it didn't feel like it and to some it felt like we've  lost some ground. However, the Winns debunked all of that by having a candid discussion about the incident and providing a RESET for the image of Black Excellence, by showing support and grace for Chris, Will, and Jada. They're on the team for elevating the culture; #WillSmith #ChrisRock #Oscars
