Shalum to all,
Throughout history, from preachers to politicians to corporations, the so-called Black community, especially in America, has often been referred to as a “sleeping giant.”
The idea?
That if Black people ever came to the realization of who they truly were, what they possessed, and what could happen if they moved together with one mind and one purpose, would become unstoppable. And from what many people are witnessing right now, the giant appears to be stirring.
Look at what happened after the officers involved in the Rodney King beating were acquitted. Los Angeles erupted into one of the most destructive uprisings in American history. Entire neighborhoods burned. Businesses were destroyed. People were attacked. Communities were torn apart. Much of the destruction fell directly upon the same people whose anger had exploded.
Now, 34 years later, another case has ignited outrage.
Cyrus Carmack-Belton, a 14-year-old Black teenager in Columbia, South Carolina, was suspected of stealing bottled water from a convenience store. Store owner Chikei “Rick” Chow and his son chased Cyrus more than 130 yards away from the store. Cyrus was then shot in the back while running away. Authorities later stated that he had not stolen anything.
Yet once again, the man responsible walked free. But this time, the response looks different.
Instead of cities burning, a widespread economic “Black-out” has begun spreading across America, with people refusing to spend money in Asian-owned businesses. What began as outrage over one case has now grown into a larger movement, gaining national attention and spreading beyond the United States.
So, the question must be asked: Has the “Sleeping Giant” truly awakened? Or is something much deeper taking place?
That is what this study will examine.
Because regardless of what people believe, what movements rise, what governments announce, or what the nations fear, one thing remains certain: It has already been written.
Join us for another study as we examine what is truly, contextually happening, what is beginning to move among the Black people, and why so many appear deeply concerned about what could happen if this giant ever fully rises.
