DOUBLE CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE LATEST ATTACKS ON SERENA WILLIAMS

Serena is depicted as big, fat, and black w/monkey lips WHILE another black woman is depicted as thin, white and blond hair-- so as to reinforce white supremacy for anybody who didn't watch the match OR review what happened in the news.

For the record? 

Consider this BULLHORN RACISM not "DOG WHISTLE RACISM"

This was published a few days back in a Rupert Murdoch paper in Australia. Regardless of when the cartoon was originally created, the timing of publication makes the white supremacy messaging ultra-clear.

I don't think I know any black people who didn't realize that this is EXACTLY how many white people would frame Serena Williams standing up for herself in the 2018 U.S. OPEN

I saw his image in my head before the cartoonist drew it

And so did the white supremacists he drew it for

Only white liberals are shocked by this...as usual

Double consciousness is a concept that Du Bois first explores in 1903 publication,

 “The Souls of Black Folk”. Double consciousness describes 

the individual sensation of feeling as though your identity 

is divided into several parts, making it difficult 

or impossible to have one unified identity. Du Bois spoke of this 

within the context of race relations in the United States. 

He asserted that since American blacks have lived in a society 

that has historically repressed and devalued them that 

it has become difficult for them to unify their 

black identity with their American identity (Edles and Appelrouth 351-352). 

Double consciousness forces blacks to not only 

few themselves from their own unique perspective, 

but to also view themselves as they might be perceived 

by the outside (read: white) world. 

This is what Du Bois spoke of in the above passage when

 he talked about “the sense of looking at one’s self 

through the eyes of others” (351).
