I don't understand you... What am I deflecting from? How am I blaming BLACK MEN? I believe men in general support patriarchies. I feel like feminism is necessary in a patriarchal society 100% of the time. Who else will advocate for the "fairer" sex if we don't advocate for ourselves? We should expect men to initiate it? That's just like expecting white people to initiate things for blacks. We have to get the ball rolling, and KEEP the ball rolling. You can never be complacent when you're the under dog. You have to remain visible, sometimes annoyingly so.. Thats why feminists are so vocal. And that's why people that want to advance blacks are vocal. Anytime an oppressed group of people become vocal, it becomes an "annoyance" to the oppressor.
I brought up Indians to show how the world can be for women who have no rights. The whole middle east is out of whack.
And you need to stop being so insecure about these white men. I feel like MOST black women are not checking for white men.Statistics prove that. Yes we can acknowledge that some of them are attractive from a SUPERFICIAL standpoint but it takes more than looks to share a life with someone.
And as far as yall constantly bringing up white women in the feminism discussion... I have no words for that bs. I'm all for riding the coattails of white people as long as it benefits me. Black women were slaves too.. It should be ok for us to take a free ride every once in a while. Or do you think black women didn't profit AT ALL from white feminism?
And 98% of black society doesn't trust feminist? Idk where you got these bullshyt ass numbers from. If they don't trust us, oh fukking well. That doesn't make our cause any less noble. Mfers didn't trust Moses or God either. Was complaining and shyt the whole time he was leading them to freedom.
I'm not saying feminism should be the end all be all of black women. Honestly, separation from white people as a whole is my vision. Black feminism should be looked at as a way to reconcile the black man and woman. Or maybe not. Idk why yall feel like feminism is such a threat. Black feminism is a threat to what? A defunct patriarchy.
ETA: White men are ugly as shyt. They look like unbaked bread. Happy now?[/QUOTE]
