‘Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it. It’s up to all of us – Black, white, everyone – no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own. It ends with justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets.’ — Michelle Obama

So the “say her name” movement has been overshadowed by the powers that be bastardising it and making it a catch-all for males we already know are dead. Misogyny in action.

Ma'am can you take you white feminism and gtfo of here like imagine thinking your a good person but decide to take a post about something as important and try to make it a feminism issue. Like please just go away.

apostle-of-sapphos

Ah yes my white feminism when I make a valid point about how a movement started by black women for black women has been bastardised to yet again center males. The whole point of “say her name” was because black women who are murdered through police brutality are unheard of. Breonna Taylor was shot in her sleep and who did BLM rally around and riot for? George Floyd, a violent thug that held a pregnant woman at gun point and threatened to shoot her in the stomach to kill her unborn child. That’s why say her name exists.

See my point is why do you have highjack a post to state that. Can’t you make you own? Also so the dude makes 1 bad thing and he deserves to be brutal murdered by a knee on his throat? And also what does that have to do with the OTHER black men this post is talking about? Once again your white feminism is not needed, cause if it was regular feminism you know you would support both. But apparently because somr of these people have male genitalia you could give less then a single fuck about them.

How dare I comment on how an entire movement was fucking hijacked. Black lives matter has shown its true colours as a movement that centers males, let black women have their own movement.

I hate to break it to you Aiden but feminism is about liberating females from the male sex. It’s not our fucking job to play egalitarian to spoiled and babied misogynistic pieces of shit. Men can go choke for all I care.

Also FYI holding a pregnant woman at gun point and threatening to kill her unborn child isn’t a “bad thing” it’s fucking evil and he received karmic justice.
