Well that's the issue to me. Black women don't get basic HUMAN respect. Women in general are overall mistreated. Shit on. But black women don't even get human decency respect from a great deal TOO many. I'm not a feminist, i'm a humanist. I want human decency displayed. Acted upon. Nobody should respect me because i have a vagina. Respect the fact that i'm a living breathing entity just like you. A brain, blood. Muscle tissue that can make me do tasks, just like you. A brain that allows me to think and figure out things, just like you. I can decide for myself who and what, and where and how. I can see a puddle and step over it, just like you. I don't believe in chivalry and i don't expect it. Black women are the mothers of the black men who are capable of achieving so much, they deserve human respect. Between black men and women there is a serious lacking of that.
Black people born in america are in a unique situation where they have to rely on each other. But there's a gob massive amount who are still under a blindfold, and still believe in the ways of their oppressor. I am not less. I am equal. Africans for the most part believed in this concept. Natives in america believed in that concept. Black women were toiling in the fucking sun and being raped and murdered just like the men were. But yet you've got all these black men. Who see their women as LESS. Who see themselves as LESS. And the whites as more. Black men don't respect themselves. So they can't respect their women.
Can't argue with that. Hell, it was better written than the OP. You need a column.
