Men, we need to have a conversation about this microaggression towards black women

There is no reason you should disrespect a woman because she doesn’t do what you want her to do.

There is no reason you should try to embarrass her because she turned you down.

There is no reason you should make her feel bad about herself because she didn’t stroke your ego.

We need to start putting men like this in their place. I am so serious. I’m tired of hearing these stories about how women were called derogatory terms, assaulted, and even murdered because your feelings were hurt. This has to stop. Now. We’ve got to attack this from its roots.

The morning after...

Taurus are better compatible with someone who is sensitive enough to be attentive to their emotions and their vulnerabilities.

You see how she explained how race is a social construct (it is) while ALSO SAYING THAT RACISM EXISTS AND IS FUCKED UP? You see how she did that? Don’t mistake this for colorblindness because it clearly isn’t.

I’ve seen so many folks of all races (mostly White people) on FB saying this is an validation of colorblindness and I’m just like DID YOU JUST STOP LISTENING AFTER THE FIRST SENTENCE OR WHAT?!

People who use this as validation of colorblindness are just proving her point that there are benefits to racism.

Theoretically, colorblindness is an appalling example of ethnic erasure, but to the majority of people who support colorblindness, in their mind, it has to do with the social construct of race defined by skin color and not ethnicity. Saying race is a societal construct and therefore not real isn’tthe same as saying you don’t see skin color. Denying someone has a skin color is actually a prejudice based on skin color, which you’re saying people don’t have, and is an example of racism in addition to aforementioned ethnic erasure. Colorblindness is most often touted as a reason a person is not racist, which makes it their personal benefit and back-pat to prove Toni Morrison’s point. Saying that the social construct of race isn’t a real, scientific thing is simply stating the often disregarded truth of the matter – it’s not real, but it is a problem.

Racism is very, seriously real and an ever-present issue. It also makes a lot of people money, and therefore, it isn’t going away, it’s going to be brought up, and it’s not going to stop until we collectively learn that skin color is only a defining attribute of someone’s appearance and not the definition of their ancestry, their socioeconomic background, their intelligence, etc. In fact, if we could realize that generalizing based on any attribute of appearance makes you a bigot, we could, maybe, actually make a dent in the current perception of race.

Historically, though, humans judge others based on their appearance alone and I don’t see that fascination stopping anytime soon. All we can do is educate and support people like Toni Morrison when they have a chance to speak out about the problem.

Saying this supports colorblindness is both ignorant and for your own personal gain, which disgusts me.
