What happened to the white woman though?

That last quote is important.

I’m still angry that we had grown ass men in my family that did nothing to stop my uncle from beating my aunt. She cried at his funeral because she was happy he was dead. I didn’t find this out until I was in my 20's, years after he died, or I would have whooped his alcoholic ass myself.

Wh…

This article is triggering my childhood PTSD. 

“A CBC investigation earlier this year showed a DNA testing company informing a customer that he was 20 percent Native American. There was only one problem:

No, what most black people want is to be left THE FUCK ALONE. Mind your business and let us do us. Unless I give you some cause for concern or concern for your safety, keep steppin’, muthafucka. You have no right to question me about my whereabouts, my admission anywhere, in this goddamn country!

Most white people don’t want to be uncomfortable. Or challenged. Or changed.

It’s definitely a skull thickness problem Whites have. I mean we get all this education but for many it clearly isn’t penetrating their nogin.

It probably has something to do with most whites in other countries having to, at one point or another, reckon with all the bloodshed and evil their ancestors have wrought on the world, on some level.

There are white people who have no problem with telling you what’s wrong with the “black community,” but try to tell them what’s wrong with the “white community,” and they can’t get that “not all...” out of their mouths fast enough. On the Venn, it’s an over lapping circle.

I think WoC are brainwashed to police ourselves because we hope it’ll keep us safe but all it does is keep us compliant.

I wish the feminists on Jezebel could be burdened to read this and hear you! It’s not just sexism or them being assholes. Yes if you were a white woman they’d find you annoying. But I doubt it would’ve escalated to physically following you in front of a crowd. Yes white women get attacked but when you happen to be…

you’re a piece of racist shit.

Presentating black women as unshakable is a really specific kind of model minority thinking that removes access to help without respecting feelings or agency. It’s dehumanizing.

Thank you so much for this article! We as Black women deal with so many injustices and downright disrespect on a regular basis. The additional story is that we seldom have anyone to have our backs. I was taking a graduate course and gave my thoughts regarding the subject matter during a class conversation. I kept my…

It’s not your imagination!! I’ve taken the Metro in DC at least 2x daily for about 12 years and I have absolutely noticed white people being more aggressive on it since November.

The comments on this post (thankfully grays) are a perfect illustration of how people are ready to attack black women just for existing. Good job, trolls!

I am here for this. Im here for all of you. And I hear you. By writing this you teach me how to support other black women, ladies and girls.

Why do you feel the need to demean & dismiss her experience? Yes, you found an article about horrible things that someone else experienced. But it doesn’t make her trauma & pain any less valid. One persons pain & struggle should not be measured against another’s to determine if it’s “as bad” or not. This is not a…
