THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT
WAS ALL ABOUT HAVING SEXUAL ACCESS
TO WHITE PEOPLE IN PEACE.
:devil:
:evil:


:scust:

that's a terrible take on the civil rights movement. maybe you're trolling or just being edgy for the fukk of it.

white men were already kidnapping and raping black women since slavery. black men still choose black women by a huge margin. ir relationships are rare for black men.

the crm was not all about black men being able to "pawg in peace".

This should tell every brother that it does not Matter the race of woman you deal with.
Because many black women understand the struggle but don’t want to deal with it.
A sista ain’t going to give you anymore of a pass if you lose your job because of racism

Then further research that a good number of the Black Entertainment Industry from that era was in a interracial relationships/marriage..

Pearl Bailey
Diana Sands
Lorraine Hansberry
Nina Simone
Donyale Luna
Helen Williams
Naomi Sims
Hazel Scott
Eartha Kitt
Josephine Baker
Marpessa Dawn

I'm going to assume they shared the same reason as Lena

Is Joyce in that picture Joyce Bryant?

White men weren’t actually raping all of the black women. Some went willingly.


And despite people bringing up black men just want to fukk white bytches(which in some cases true) black women been sleeping with white men willingly before then.

I am not offended by her statement.
she confessed that she was not strong
enough to deal with a black man and his reality.

alot of black men are dealing with the
same thing by running to white women.
a black woman reminds certain black men
of where they came from so when they
get money they try to cross over into
the white world......which never happens.


i'll be getting old and ugly with a sista.
she's the only thing on earth that understand.

What a list. All these gorgeous legendary sisters had white husbands. It's an interesting dynamic. Marrying white, so they can survive.

:jbhmm:

I don't think that is what she was saying.

She was saying a black mans life was too hard for her to tolerate. Therefore she couldn't see herself married to one.

I'm not sure why, but folks are forgetting the time period that she is speaking from.

White folk were actively killing us (emphasis on actively) and your husband could be murdered overnight in the blink of an eye.

Your husband is dead, one of your income streams is gone, your children now don't have a father and you still need to live in the society that hates you.

That is a lot to handle at any age.

all women will aim to be an accessory to power & wealth

all ideals begin to crumble when protection & provision are in question

they rather deal with the mental burden than the physical one

naturally

Nina Simone? :wtf:
