I think life for Black children is as censored as it’s always been in a post-colonial/post-slavery world (read: when we were granted semi-autonomy). While what is being censored may have changed, the levels of censorship taken by “authority figures” (any adult responsible for a child’s well-being) are the same.
Adults still don’t want to have tough conversations with children and teens, nor do most of us want to update our frames of reference for the contemporary moment.
