The Coli likes to put down black feminists for whatever reason, but Ida B. Wells knew the score back in the 1890s

This brilliant woman wrote this way back when:
“Lynching is an unjustifiable act of economic jealousy and sexual anxiety. An instrument of terror and control."


She summed up everything that's been happening, and will continue to happen, better than the media ever will.

At least speaking for myself. I don't have any issue with Black feminists per se, I think the larger issue is two fold, the word feminism has kind of lost its original purpose and meaning. Also, SOME Black feminists have a tendency to fight for other races of women's rights and LGBT rights at the expense and abandonment of Black men which, imo is counter productive because Black women are seen as Black first and women second, which compounds the fact that Black women have to face some unique issues that other races don't have to deal with.
