First off, Rih ain’t want y'all to begin with. Why is it that when Rihanna doesn’t want a black man, y'all mad asf but y'all not even settling for black women unless they Rihanna, B, or Nicki?
And ain’t nothing wrong with this. Rihanna dated a black man and he whooped her ass and y'all made a JOKE about it for YEARS, so she looked for a man elsewhere. She isn’t degrading or bashing black men, like how some of y'all do with black women, she simply dated out of her race.
Y'all dehumanize black women when we are here for you then get all in y'all feelings when we date people out of our race.
And he fine anyways tf.
Niggas are funny L M A O.
True although I do find it interesting when roles are reversed and it’s a black man with a white woman, y'all be saying the exact same thing these men are.
Because most of those black guys spew anti black women rhetoric. Also people are trying to compare this to Kodak Black’s situation. Rihanna hasn’t (that I know of) said anything anti black about black men. Kodak said: Ay, where them yellow bones? I don’t want no black bitch I’m already black, I don’t need no black bitch. And he said dealing with dark skin women is not his forte.
Lol no they don’t. Y'all just assume that because they date a white Woman they hate black women and use the excuse you just said to justify your anger. Can’t play both sides. If you mad at this, the reverse shouldn’t be acceptable either. Also no one cares about Kodak Black.
y'all said this shit about Jordan Peele who hasn’t said anything of the sort about black Women. You did this with Mike Colter (Luke Cage) you do it with every single black man you see who isn’t dating you. Regardless of if they slander black women or not.
Y'all jumped down Kendrick’s throats when y'all found out he married someone lighter than him and now it’s Jessie cause y'all assume he left his wife for a white woman🙄.
@onlyblackgirl my thoughts exactly.. every time! 👏🏽
I screamed out loud. Black Twitter is the gift that keeps giving.
Do you ever, Hear a song, And remember me? This happened to me, Just one time. And you know what I did? I put it on repeat.

Yes, I do love you. I really do. But I want my heart in my own hands. I want to take care of myself, with you walking right next to me. I love you, but I want to love me too.

Charleena Lyles, a 30-year-old pregnant mother, was shot to death by Seattle police with her children – including one with Down syndrome – present in the apartment.
She called the police for help, had a knife in her hand to protect herself and her children. Cops saw the knife and immediately shot her to death in front of her children. She was pregnant and was a mother of four already. Needless to say the officers were white.
They could use their tasers, they could try to talk to her at least rather than shooting her.
Be careful the next time you call the cops for help.
RIP Charleena Lyles.
God this is absolutely heartbreaking 😔
For example Frederick Douglas’ wife did so much for his ungrateful ass. She helped him get on his feet, gave him her last name, and supported him financially and took care of house and home. And in return was does this nigga do? He lets white abolitionists tear her down and treat her like a slave in HER HOUSE. Moved two bitches into HER HOUSE over a span of 20 years. Belittles her for being illiterate while using HER MONEY. Not even in death does she get the respect she deserves. His last wife is more recognized as being apart of his life than she was. Just trash. And y'all still normalize that shit as if it’s a black woman’s job to struggle. Fuck that.
Fuck Frederick Douglas.
That negro was a massive hypocrite. How the fuck you wanna abolish slavery and support women’s rights, then treat your own wife like shit?????????????????
^^^^ history left her out of his story too. Claiming his parents have him money to start up when it was her.
Don’t forget MLK and Malcolm X
My heart broke a little but I’m not surprised. What did Malcolm do ?
I don’t know about Malcolm X, but I know that Martin Luther King was in love with a white caferteria lady name Betty that he was seeing while he was attending college. The only reason why he married Coretta and not the cafeteria worker is because his dad frowned upon it. Not only that but his best friend Ralph Abernathy and Jackie Onassis exposed him for being a sex craved phony that loved cheating on Coretta. I guarantee that if black women from the civil rights era could talk now, our heads would explode.
I mean if we’re gonna spill tea

Our community has always treated us like shit no matter what. Not to mention Miss Claudette Colvin who was the actually pioneer of the Civil Rights Movement. She was arrested for not giving up her seat on the bus 9 months before Rosa but she was a dark skinned single mother so she wasn’t good enough.
Let’s not forget Black Panther’s leader Eldridge Cleaver and his famous book “Soul On Ice” where he recounts how he practiced raping black women because he knew no one would care and when he “mastered his craft” he starting raping white women. Also let’s never forget that he said that there is no more love left between black women and men and that everytime he embraces a black woman, he embraces slavery. Y’all gon’ get this history lesson today!
Wow… and somehow I’m not even surprised.
I knew all of that. Martin was constantly cheating with white prostitutes even a German exchange student while protesting civil right. Cleaver was the worst. Preying on and raping young black girls in the hood as practice for raping white women. Claudette is still referenced as “the other rosa parks” when the light bright brigade “NAACP” weren’t gonna let her share her story to begin with.
Let this post never die. Black women were NEVER respected back in the day, and we’re STILL getting disrespected every minute.
Wow….
[reasons why I think most Black dudes r performative when it comes to being *proBlack* n only know how to mirror yt ally theater/chase yt validation. n nonBlack ppl better back the fuck off this post and start combatting the antiBlackness before they even think of comment.]
Just a reminder that Claudette Colvin didn’t get pregnant until 3 months after refusing her seat on the bus. She was a poor dark skinned girl. In her words “they wanted someone PEOPLE would sympathize with and I didn’t look like that.” Colorism AND Classism waaaay before Instagram 🙂
Bruh I learned all of this and more in my civil rights history class last semester. My professor actually got her doctorate in black women in the black power movement. Even though two black men from California started the radical group as we know it, black women did most of the work and kept the group afloat. By the 80s it was largely female led. Also, elderidge cleaver wrote an essay after getting out of prison where he recanted everything he said in soul on ice and this was largely due to the fact that women were running the bpp and told him he couldn’t join if he was to co tibie to perpetuate this rape nonsense.
Also also claudette Colvin wasn’t the only one who was forgotten during the Montgomery bus boycott. Do y'all know who Jo Ann Robinson is? Home girl was the backbone to the whole movement tbh. Yeah rosa (a trained activist btw) was the igniting flame and yes in her documents and Jo Ann’s Claudette was credited as the inspiration, but jo Ann really kept the movement running. She organized car pools for all the black folks in Montgomery. Y'all the Montgomery bus boycott lasted for a year! People still had to get to work and shit. Jo Ann was on it! Plus she had a whole committee that was pushing for regulation changes and the end of segregation in busing. And hell, Montgomery buses were damn near reliant on black commuters so they eventually had to give.
Plus my all time fave is the homie Ella baker. Home girl ensured the founding of sncc when fuckboy Mlk tried to make them the youth chapter of the sclc. SNCC is the group that made sit ins a popular form of protest during the early civil rights movement. They founding students had their first sit in in 1960. Ella baker was like these students need their own separate movement and the sclc ain’t it. Plus she was a true proponent of self determination which was clear in everything that sncc did.
Basically what I’m trying to say is black women been the backbone of society and they still are.
Let’s also talk about how Huey P Newton, the founder of the BPP ordered the severe beating of Regina Davis. Regina Davis was an administrator at a BP school and was literally jumped for reprimanding a male BP member. She was beaten so bad that she was in the hospital for a broken jaw and had to flee to LA for her own safety. Her attack was a deliberate message to all female BP because the men were getting upset with the increasing power black women had in the party and wanted to put them in their place.
In 1974 Huey P Newton also shot and killed a 17 year old sex worker in Oakland named Kathleen Smith in the face for calling him “baby” and because she didn’t give him the “respect” he wanted (x)
and who could forget good ol’ Harry Belafonte and how he treated Ertha Kitt way back when
Ellen Holly was a super light skin soap opera actress who claimed to have a similar experience with Harry Belafonte before he married a white woman and called him out in her autobiography about his behavior towards black women
THIS IS WHY WHEN PATRICIA ARQUETTE SAID WOMEN HAVE HAD TO TAKE A BACKSEAT TO OTHER GROUP´S PROGRESS SHE WAS RIGHT!
BUT Y’ALL WERE SO UPSET WITH HER
That white woman ain’t got nothing to do with this. We’re talking about black women’s treatment here.
How dare you bring Patricia Arquettes white feminist ass on a post about the treatment of Black Women
That was a much needed thread. Reminds me of the first time I discovered Tumblr and learned so much about feminism and women’s history. To add my 2 cents to this, I put the pictures of most of the ladies mentioned above (I couldn’t find a picture of Regina Davis, if you have one that’d be great), so that anyone discovering these wonderful women can put a face to their name.
unfortunately there are no known or publicly available pictures of Regina Davis or Kathleen Smith
Keep this thread going and share the stories of how Black women have been degraded by black mens sexism
Just to add some more, let’s not forget the importance of Shirley Chisholm. She was an unapologetic black feminist who fought for the rights of women and the poor in her community. She was a founding member of both the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Women’s Caucus.
She was the first black women ever elected to the US congress and was the first woman and black american to ever run for the president of the US. Her campaign to be the democratic nominee was treated like a joke, and although she had the support of her loyal husband she received NO SUPPORT from black male leaders. Her campaign went underfunded and the men of the black caucus rallied around white male candidates instead because they were pissed off that she was getting attention and wanted a black male candidate instead.
“They think I am trying to take power from them. The black man must step forward, but that doesn’t mean the black woman must step back.“(x)
This validates my whole life experience of black men treating us (black women) like disease carriers
This hit home
Bitch im me!
That’s all the way fucked up lady should be under the jail.
This is heartbreaking.
#WhitePrivilege #Injustice
Wow.
When people wonder why we say “Black Lives Matter” I want them to look at this. Because stuff like this is what tells us that our lives are less valuable than a dog’s.
This is so pure
I’m in love
the acoustic in that room is awesome. and Jay Z is pretty good with that camera
She really does have a gorgeous voice.
Unreal. So much love!
