Everyone is allowed to share their pain EXCEPT BLACK WOMEN

Blog post anyone?
People have a hard time seeing others acknowledge their painful experiences. Especially when it comes to women of color.
I realize that when Black women decide to empower themselves by saying "I'm strong" or "I won't allow a man to walk over me" it's called "man bashing".
If we point out misogyny and sexism as it relates to Black culture Non-colored people always say "well all women go through this"
Acknowledging that intersections exist is so difficult for them and if you happen to focus on Black women's experiences it must mean we are excluding others and ignoring others pain.
Why have we got to a place that if we FOCUS in on OUR experiences that it is called not caring about other races of women?
Why is caring about ourselves so "hateful" to you? Why is empowering ourselves so hateful to you?
It's the people who are supposed to be open-minded who deny Black experiences and want to get rid of the whole race thing so they won't have to a. lose their white friends b. They believe acknowledging racism is enabling to black people c. If they are not black they want to ignore racism and intersections because any systems of oppression are supposedly imaginary.
It's funny how everyone is allowed to express their pains and frustrations, EXCEPT Black women and people.
Everyone is allowed to praise their culture and acknowledge history in their culture, EXCEPT Black people.
Everyone is allowed to point the finger at Black women and how we supposedly ruin the world, but the moment Black women acknowledge that he has been abused or felt defeated at some time at the hands of a Black man she is "bitter" or "man hating"
Then you want to convince me that race is just a biological construct
So this means all races, black people included are biologically motivated to ignore Black voices pointing out racism, sexism, misogyny, and homophobia "playing the victim" and countering it with "black people aren't the only ones who experience that" when that is obvious.
I'm not buying it. People are socialized to hate Blackness, Black people included.
Call me "divisive" , "man hating", and "race baiting" all you want I SEE what the hell is going on.
If acknowledging ways that racism, sexism, and misogyny affects everyone and focusing on marginalized groups offend you or piss you off or make you feel like others are being ignored then that is YOU with your faulty thinking.‪#‎CreWisdom‬.

Where is the outrage for Black on Black Crime!

Wanna know why there is no black on black crime protests? Because Black perpetrators whether they kill a black or white person actually serve time in prison and are held accountable for their actions. If a black person without money kills a white person even though rare statistically they almost always get the death penalty.

Also because there are also no white on white crime protests. Or Asian on Asian crime protests or Latino on Latino protests. If 84 to 86 % white murderers kill other white people and 94 to 96% of black people kill black people (people they know!) then why are people demanding ONLY black people protest it if there is barely a difference statistically?

There are protests for cops and cop wannabes who have a LONG history of killing unarmed people (high numbers being black people) because they are not held accountable. Racial profiling, harassment against homeless, mentally ill, women or anyone who they KNOW they can get away with killing they will do it because they know as long as there are no cameras they can make up anything.

Without cameras they will always paint the black person as aggressive or deserving of death and leave their bodies on the street for hours.And they will barely get a slap on the wrist so long as the victim's family can't afford a good lawyer or the jury is not chosen fairly.

So please stop making it about just black people getting mad because a white person killed a black person. It is NOT for those who actually studied this stuff in depth.

It is about cops and cop wannabes needing to stop racial profiling, harassing others, and abusing their position of power and actually get punished!

When they do actually get PUNISHED for it in the same way the black man kills another black man or a white man kills another white man who are NOT cops people will stop protesting!

Why is that so hard to understand? If your unarmed sister, brother, son, uncle or daddy gets shot by a cop are you gonna say " well others get killed all the time". What exactly do they have to do with the individuals involved who were wronged?

It's not about protesting interracial murders people. An outrage isn't needed when perpetrators are punished and cops are treated the same way as the people they arrest! Got it? It's levels to this ish!
