“When they talk about “white people”, they aren’t talking about you in particular or singling you out.”

Hi, I’m also a white lady. It’s no one’s responsibility, in these incredibly difficult and important times, to “take time” and tell you, an incredibly privileged person, how you are seen by people of color. You do not get extra credit for doing what we should all already be doing.

So criticism = hate. Got it. If your ego is that fragile, please either seek therapy or be a hermit. Truth hurts, growth hurts. By this logic, BLM is anti-police, film critics hate film, and I guess our parents hate us, too.

This is exactly what the article is taking about. Your comment immediately made his point. Like the moron that thinks BLM is anti white, you believe that saying straight black men aren’t paying attention to black women’s problems is somehow anti black man.

sounds like markymarkmarucs3 is the exact kind of dumb motherfucker this article was speaking about

Remember kids, saying that we need to realize the struggle black women face and better ourselves means we hate black men.

Oh honey, come on now. Fragile masculinity is the white man’s game.

All of what you said is a conspiracy. I’m gonna file your well-thought out and concise words with UFOs in Roswell and the Loch Ness monster. Because it’s a conspiracy because I said so because I made the sentence that read as such. That’s my only proof, and that’s enough. Also, black women on The Root are easily…

True, because the criticisms of things that a group does means you are anti-that group.

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

I’m sensitive to criticisms of black men since they’re already seen as monsters worthy of immediate on sight death. But black female articulation is often seen by them as mindless male bashing when all it is is their cry for understanding and halting all forms of domestic abusive — physical and mental. I hate divided…

lol

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.
