Do you feel like black women don't support y'all?
Nah history proves black women supported us even when black men didn't give them our full support, I'm speaking more on how symbolic actions with no actual commitment can be more detrimental than helpful.
See this women, her name is Ruby Doris Robinson, She carried The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, it was not started by her but her actions when she joined put her at the forefront of that group she attained the position of Executive Secretary(a position previously only held by black males), it was headed by black men(meaning they were at the forefront but it was started by ella baker) but they didn't work as hard as her but received most of the credit. She originally avoided the group because they did a little to much talking and she was more about action. I can't do her justice with a such a short post, I will say she committed her life to freeing our people and it killed her, she died at 25 in I can't help but think had she avoided this particular group and worked so hard while others slacked she may have lived much longer, here is a quote from her co-worker which also details her final years.
In January 1967, her health began to decline precipitously around the same time as the splintering of SNCC, and she was admitted to a hospital. She suffered for ten months from a rare blood disease, and in April of that year she was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
[15] She died on October 7, 1967, aged 25.
[4] One of her co-workers claimed, "
She died of exhaustion…she was destroyed by the movement."
Knowing what I know I can't ever open my mouth to say black women haven't been supportive, too much spilled blood to make that claim.
I know I forgot some
i missed that part, I agree with the rest of your post. All women want the best men available, average aint good enough
