But people of color don't have that privilege, and being told by the people who do that racism is not a big deal is deeply frustrating.

I'm not saying I know more about racism. I'm looking around me and noticing that men of all colors run pretty much everything rather than women of any color.

And so are you.

Good point about racists being all over and often being worse in homogeneous enclaves. I often vacation in Montana, near Missoula. That's also near Kalispell, which we fly in and out of...

I definitely never said it's never because of any Blackness. That's obviously a part of it. Please stop assigning binary arguments to me, where you assume I'm saying something is either everything or not. I rarely talk or think that way.

They do? And not just in places like Mississippi?

LOL sorry :)

Why aren't Black women profiled like that by cops? They're Black, right? It's because they're women.

I'm a woman, thanks. Great job assuming I must be a man because I care about data, because apparently ladybrains can't handle numbers?

You're mistaken. I'm no way whatsoever trying to convince you that racism doesn't matter to you, or that it's not real.

And you are trying to convince ME that the oppression I experience isn't what I say it is. And this is typical of Black Feminists. Always trying to convince us that sexism is over for White women.

Your original comment is just laughable, the idea that white male employers are hiring black men over black women because they both have penises?

Oh I think I can talk about racism vs sexism well enough to justify my points. The world over, men of all colors run things. Women don't. End of story.

And what happens when you control for education level?

Hire them for what? And pay them what compared to the men? Hmmmmm?

You're probably right about the levels of empathy with Black women being less than other women. I don't have enough experience with that to argue.

And I'm adding to that by saying they can't empathize with women of ANY color, while they don't have that same problem empathizing with other men. They'll empathize with an Asian man before they ever will with a Black woman.

Jesus wasn't all that either. He preached against all kinds of sin, but never said one bad word about slavery.

I get a lot of crap for saying this on Jezebel, but it's true anyway. A penis matters more than skin color. People notice if you are male or female and judge you based on that WAAAAAAY before they take your skin color into account.

We don't need to "presume to decide". We have these things called ears and can LISTEN to them.
