And that's black women fault?Most Black women do not declare themselves to be "feminists." However, for the ones that do...
If Black feminists are fighting for "gender equality," exactly whom are they fighting to be equal to?
Is it white men who serve as their "end zone" in their pursuit of equality?
If Black women currently outpace Black men in almost every meaningful life metric (education, employment,
head-of-household status, life expectancy, community consumer spending power, lower incarceration and
crime victim rates, etc.), becoming equal to Black men would translate to them receding in life as a group,
not rising.
Who truly occupies "privileged" status in the "Black girls/women-outpace-boys/men" dynamic?
Why are Black folks in general, so comfortable with this version of inequality?
What do you want them to do?
I don't get it. These women work hard, make less than their white peers yet you create this jealous aura of "privilege."
I pray you fukkbois dont have daughters. It's not black women fault that men were raised in a manner where we over relied on the manufacturing sector while telling our daughters to go to school if they don't want to be a domestic worker. Culturally, that's on us. There was a time where black men could purchase a home and raise their family on a factory job salary. So school wasn't as stressed to black males coming up as opposed to black girls. When those jobs left, it impacted us more while our girls were still the one pushed into schools.
This isn't PRIVLEGE!! This is friggin economics and our inability to adjust. Go read William Julius Wilson "When Work Disappears." This has been discussed and talked about for YEARS. "Underlying accelerated ghetto joblessness has been the US transition from a manufacturing to a service economy--a development that particularly devastated urban blacks"
Funny thing is....it's now no longer just a "black only" problem. It's spilling over into a national issue.
Have you not seen these entitled mid western men bytching about wanting their jobs to come back because they can no longer support their families while their wives are outpacing them?
Trump played on that.
How off are you dudes in here?
Don't put this shyt on "black female privilege." That is the biggest CROCK of shyt there is.
I honestly don't believe many of you who claim to care for black people are very read on black people.
