Dare To Ask Talk And News About Our Differences
I have to deal with that mess a lot–just the other night I was standing at a bus stop and so was this older man. He propositioned me, I ignored him, he therefore began to get rude and call me out of my name and curse me out. I just continued to ignore him, because I figured, even a fool eventually gets tired of talking to himself after awhile. I left after about 20 min. anyway because I’d missed the bus. Usually when this happens, it’s because the man already has an attiude and is pissed off and just wants to take it out on someone, especially on anyone he percieves as being weaker than him. I get tired of that s*** , but I know for a fact all black men aren’t like that, so you shouldn’t judge them by the ignorant fools you meet on the subway. I also want to say that black women have (and still have) to fight daily battles with sexism and racism ( this is to the man who claimed that black women are getting an easy ride by collaborating with white men), first of all, you’re generalizing way too much, and frankly to say that a sister only gets somewhere because she sucked up to some white man in charge belittles and trivializes whatever achievements she might have on her own. Also, you equally trivialize history and the fact that during slavery the average female slave, whether she worked in the house or the fields, was still subject to and bore the brunt of extreme sexualized violence from her white master, simply because she was regarded as nothing more than a piece of property. I’m tired of hearing black women being blamed for every damn thing that’s wrong with black folks. We’re been brainwashed enough to hate ourselves as it is. Black women have got enough problems of their own without having to hear the kind of ignorant nonsense you’re talking, as well as put with a lot of stuff from brothers ( it’s not like y’all haven’t done anything wrong either) . Obviously, you got issues with black women, but don’t take them out on all of us!
