    I do.

    This my personal favourite: It's not my fault I was born white, as MLK said I judge people not by the colour of their skin but on the content of their character. You should to.

    Ain't nobody checking for you and your opinions boo. You're a troll who consistently trolls, I'm not engaging in your white supremacist trollery.

    Racism will stop if we all stand together but only if you let me cry my white tears and reassure me that my voice is the most important one and don't tell me to confront my privilege. We are one, kumbaya sisters.

    There was also this whole exchange that went down, with someone accusing Beyonce of being responsible for the obesity epidemic among the Black community?!??!?!?!? Also the whole week we've been hearing: she's not an artist, she's a robot, she's a dancing bear, she's programmed by the illuminati, she was abused by her…

    Keep checking for the other stuff I sent you, since you couldn't be bothered to do the groundwork, I thought I've prep you first (did you even take the time to read the part about privilege?) before I hit you with the other stuff.

    This site has a whole list of essays and articles about why Black feminism and womanism exist (hint: it's not because Black women are divisive, it's because we are shut out of mainstream feminism):http://www.gradientlair.com/post/668581786…

    Basically. You're rejecting these things from a position of privilege on not taking into account how it's blinding you and keeping your from hearing the voices of us Black feminists.
