Being a black woman who loves all kinds of people, I find your reply very disturbing. I don’t see how being seen as idiot sex toys makes black women any less oppressed than black men, and I certainly don’t see what that has to do with black men hating black women. Black women have had to be more resilient, more independent, and more creative than some of our white counterparts simply because many black men have interpreted our ambition and desire to succeed in life as a threat to their manhood. If black males hate black women for prevailing against all odds, then so be it. If a man defines himself by who he can control instead of who he really is, then I doubt any thinking woman–regardless of race–would want anything to do with him.
