Paradoxical ebullience

Paradoxical ebullience is the unfounded belief in Black progress in the face of socioeconomic counterevidence. The gap between Black relative socioeconomic position and their racial attitudes. The thesis of paradoxical ebullience argues that Blacks’ understanding of Black group interests, including their worsening socioeconomic position, has shifted those interests from the collective to the individual, and the method to achieve those interests has shifted from protest politics to electoral politics. Additionally, paradoxical ebullience supposes that these trends have political ramifications for Blacks that lead to negative economic consequences. In short, attitudes that are incongruent with Blacks’ reality limit their collective political will to address their worsening economic position and jeopardize policies that provide economic benefits for Blacks.

BIPOC who are excessively optimistic about the future in the face of racial and other forms of oppression suffer from paradoxical ebullience.

mamavator

Mamavator- a combination of the words Mama + Motivator. The Mom who motivates, encourages, and elevates their own children and other people's children as well, no matter how grown.

My Mom was awesome. Although she didn't give birth to me, she taught me, poured into me, motivated, and encouraged me to success! My Mom, the Mamavator, did this for everyone she encountered. In honor of Mother's Day, Happy Mamavator's Day, Mom!

differently social

The proper attribution or way to describe introverts. Introverts are not antisocial, they are simply differently social.

Shy folx are not antisocial. They do infact socialize and engage with people. Their approach to social engagement is different. Shy folk or introverts shouldn't be labeled antisocial; they should be referred to as differently social.
