Social Media Misuse of "Black Fatigue" Sparks Debate

In a recent social media video, a young woman discusses the misuse of the term "Black fatigue." The term, originally used to describe the exhaustion Black individuals feel when constantly facing racism, has been co-opted by some to dismiss Black experiences. The video creator states, "It's been used to shut down conversations about racism and oppression." She explains how the term is often used in a context that is the opposite of its original intent. The video has garnered significant attention, prompting discussions on social media about the importance of understanding the true meaning and impact of language. This highlights the need for greater awareness and sensitivity surrounding the use of terms that affect marginalized communities.
