Is "Black Fatigue" a Racist Term? Social Media Commentator Weighs In

The term "Black fatigue" has recently gained traction on social media, sparking debate about its meaning and implications. The term, often used to describe the exhaustion felt by some in responding to issues of racial injustice, is viewed by many as a way to dismiss or silence Black voices. Kiera Breaugh, a social media commentator, shared her perspective in a recent video, stating, "People are fatigued of being held accountable. They're starting to roll their eyes when you explain things like racial dynamics to them." Breaugh argues that the term is inherently racist, as it avoids the more accurate description of the issue. She points to the commercialization of Black culture, and the appropriation of its elements, as a source of frustration. While some might argue that the term reflects genuine exhaustion, Breaugh's perspective highlights the potential for it to be used to shut down important conversations about race and inequality. The debate surrounding "Black fatigue" underscores the ongoing need for dialogue and understanding in addressing systemic racism.
