WHAT IS DELINEATION?
Delineation is creating boundaries AND drawing a line, a DISTINICTION between between Black Americans (descendants of American chattel slavery) and other Melanated groups of people. Enforcing boundaries on our lineage, culture, history and ethnic identity.
WHY SHOULD BLACK AMERICANS DELINEATE?
Cultural Preservation
Political clarity
Economic Empowerment
Protecting our Ethnic Identity and Classifications
HOW TO DELINEATE!
Stand on Who You Are
Stop letting people lump us in all together under the term “Black” like we are all the same. You’re a Black American. A descendant of the people who built this country from the ground up with no handouts, and NO ALLIES. Claim that publicly and proudly.
Know Your Bloodline
Talk to your elders. Learn your family history, work on your family tree and trace your lineage. Learn and discover who your Black American Ancestors were.
Stop Letting Outsiders Speak For Us
Outsiders and culture vultures love to eat off what we created. From hip-hop to civil rights. Start calling that out and stop letting others latch onto our identity and culture.
Support Your Own
Spend money with Black American owned businesses. Support Black American creators. Help build our own economy. That’s how we take our power back.
DELINEATE AND SPREAD THE WORD TO YOUR PEOPLE!
