They made it to the top. But whose mountain is it?

We’ve been taught to celebrate Black excellence—until we mistake proximity for power. The truth is more dangerous: representation can become a weapon. When the oppressed are shown winning inside the system, we forget the system itself was never designed for justice.

The Symbolic Switch

Instead of building institutions, we build individuals. Instead of organizing the people, we overexpose the chosen few. Visibility becomes the new pacifier. And so, when change doesn’t come—we’re told to wait, to be patient, to support our representative.

“Some of the most dangerous enemies of liberation wear the face of the oppressed. They were chosen to be seen, not to lead.” – Kwame Ture (Simulated)

Representation vs Power

Power is structural. Representation is symbolic. Power determines who funds, who controls, who defends. Representation determines who speaks. The misleaders rise because they say what the system wants to hear—while appearing like you.

The Hidden Cost of False Icons

When representation becomes the ceiling, we stop asking for systems. When visibility becomes victory, we forget sovereignty. What we need isn’t elevation of faces—it’s elevation of function. Systems. Defense. Literacy. Autonomy.
