Stay Black

“Stay black” is a term of solidarty and endearment that African-Americans use to mean “take care of yourself.” It stems from the phrase “all I have to do is stay black and die” and is synonymous with “stay up.”

The same sentiment of ‘stay black’ can be expressed with the black power fist ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 or the Wakanda forever sign 🙅🏾 ♀️🙅🏿 ♀️🙅🏽 ♀️
