It’s really weird that my standing behind black women and our stories and our truth is seen as white supremacy to you. Super interesting.

But how can we be a family when a simple call for black men to be better to black women is seen as a conspiracy by others? And how could one expect black women to want to come together with the black men who are ignoring black women’s pain?
That sounds like something a white person would say. When we point out how black people experience racism, they say, “this site is anti-white.” Thanks for proving the point of this article.
I DON’T NEED WHITE WOMEN TO TELL ME THAT I SHOULD BE TREATED AS YOUR EQUAL, IDIOT. YOU are the one obsessed with white people. I don’t have to bring them up to discuss the issues within our community. You know that wanting equality at home and at work, safety, and respect are not white things? You clearly don’t…
I’m going to be honest, but that sounds very similar to the argument all lives matter folks keep using to which black lives matter folks have to continually respond that it doesn’t take away for you and to recognize a problem that affects others. It’s not a zero-sum game. I don’t if that’s hiw you meant it, but that’s…
You are proving Damon’s point. Also, it feels like your gluten-sensitive digestive track has been unsettled. Like I half expected an #allblacklivesmatter at the end of your post.
I am sorry for what has happened to you. All black men did not do that to you. White women want to convince you otherwise with nonsense, stop falling for it
Wonder why concerns about black women are automatically anti-black male. This comment pretty much is EXACTLY the point he’s making. Wow.
Your answer reveals your ignorance of the immense work that black women did for the feminist movement, even as far back as the 1850s (hello, Ida B. Wells). Your ignorance is just as bad as how white feminists tried to keep black women from being visible in the movement, just as black men kept black women out of view…
What is this “false narrative”? I don’t understand your problem.
Wtf are you even talking about?
How is telling black men to treat black women better devaluing black men’s lives?
There’s no false narrative. Damon is not saying anything that black women haven’t been saying for the longest time. The fact that you are ignoring his writings and subsequently dismissing the words of black women is only proving his point.
I’m a Black woman. This article is on point, and the reasons why have nothing to do with white people. You are concerned with them; I am not.
I’m betting you are not a Black woman. So you don’t know (and I’m guessing, don’t really care) what our reality is.
So you gonna blame all that one feminism instead of the true culprit, white supremacy? You focusing on demonizing feminism has you overlooking the system that oppresses black men and women. Do you know black women go to prison too? That black women also get murdered by the police and that cop will also go free?
What is that rule? The one that says that any comment section in an article on feminism is proof that feminism is still needed?
It reminds me of the time I tell white people in comments here that whatever article was not an attack; it’s a call to do better. But if you believe someone telling you to do better is an attack, then I don’t know what to do with you.
Why is talking about the reality of what Black women face anti-Black male? We are always told we’re being divisive when we talk about what’s going on. It’s a great way to silence us and nothing has to change. This has nothing to do with white people and what they want.
