Moses Moment

The psychological response by black Americans (or other African descendant) upon learning their true identity as a Hebrew Israelite (i.e., biblical descendent of the children of Israel) resulting in an anger response towards their oppressors. The length and intensity of this response varies per person, which may be impacted by the level of their oppression.

See Exodus 2:11-12 for Moses’s story of slaying the oppressor of “his people.”

Term loosely based on cartoonist Aaron McGruder’s “N*gga Moment”: "A moment in which ignorance overwhelms the mind of an otherwise logical negro male; causing him to act in an illogical, self-destructive manner, i.e. like a n***a." --Huey Freeman, first definition

Jason had his Moses moment after watching a video on YouTube.
