I'm asking a legit question, I can't think of anyone who has it worse than black women other than black men. We go through the same shyt other than being profiled by the police, we get longer jail sentences than white women just like black men get longer jail sentences than white men.

Although I know that it is meant as a compliment, the sentiment also hurts black women as well.
The label of "strong black woman" is somewhat insulting in that it burdens black women as the opposite of what it means to be a woman. Because of this label, black women are viewed as the antithesis of the (many of the) stereotypical qualities that define a woman: feminine, vulnerable, demure, gentle, soft spoken, submissive, etc. "Strength" and "independence" are viewed as masculine traits and its one of the reasons that black women are viewed as the least feminine or the most masculine. And many of us sadly reject the traits that make us more feminine.
And most beautiful. Love me some them.Strongest women on the planet
Its fukked up comparisonNew research is being done at Colombia to try to figure this out. The military has been studying black women for awhile, they still can't come up with anything. Actually, they did. I haven't kept up with the study. I think it comes down to survival. The more you are coddled, the more you are, well, weak.

For the past 30 years, year after year after year black women have the lowest suicide ratest of every gender and race group in America.
Considering black women are the probably one of the least supported and the second most targerted group on the planet, high level of single parenthood, economically disadvantaged, constant studies to tell them how 'undesirable' they are, they still have the highest level of self esteem amoung younger women and the lowest suicide rates.
Why do you think this is ?
Some think it is because black women are use to having no privilege. I am not saying that no black women have privilege, but as a group, in America black women have little to no privilege collectively. IMO.
So when life gets tough its just business as usual. perhaps ?
In your personal opinion why do you think black women are the group in America less likely to kill themselves compared to everyone else? Perhaps if people can find out why these coping mechanisms can be used to help other groups.
btw @concise don't move my shyt. This is a mental health/serious thread not a race baiting thread.
CACYour Rican. You can stop overcompensating.

You know what, fine you win. @bdizzle said everything that needed to be said.That's your final answer?
Your speaking for all 20 Million of yall?
It's like that one reporter who asked a teenage Venus Williams why she was so confident, and then Mr. Williams stepping in for that Ether. These cacs still don't understand that we are the chosen ones.
