In the aesthetic of call and response often invoked in the Black Church this phrase is used to invite the congregation into the sermon. The phrase is used for proclamation and affirmation. I.E. “Turn to your neighbor, and say neighbor, I got the victory!” African American Proverb: Black Church Edition (via blackproverbs)

I died laughing!! This is so accurate.

To a Dark Girl

Gwendolyn Bennett

I love you for your brownness,
And the rounded darkness of your breast,
I love you for the breaking sadness in your voice
And shadows where your wayward eyelids rest.

Something of old forgotten queens
Lurks in the lithe abandon of your walk
And something of the shackled slave
Sobs in the rhythm of your talk.

Oh, little brown girl, born for sorrow’s mate,
Keep all you have of queenliness,
Forgetting that you once were slave,
And let your full lips laugh at Fate!
