God forgives, you are forgiven.
I was making no reference to black people. You have had been bad choice of words for a while. You are no position to criticize me.Extremely poor choice of words

I use the analogy with no ill intent. Take the message and stop nitpicking as an attempt to derail.

Please, don't patronize me.
I read this thread and I have came to the conclusion that a lot of these dudes suffer from what I call "white daddy issues". They associate black women rights to be themselves and speak for themselves as given privilege by white supremacy, hence the constant associating the two.
They either want the same type of privileges that they assume black women have or be in the position of power to choose and give these privileges. Kinda like brother and sister fighting over who's the favorite child and white supremacy being the parent.
But the issue is Black feminists know that theyre not the favorite and thats not what theyre fighting for. Theyre fighting just to recognized as human beings and not a tool for everyone to use. Its the men with this battery in their backs from internet gurus like tariq that result to show compassion and try to understand how these women feel. They wanna associate the bad ones just because it justify their own rage when they really need to do is ask questions and listen.

just your usual nerdy brotha
It is interesting that she doesn't know that.
It looks like she may be disconnected from her black brethren

Aww, thanks. But I don't think so. My friend circle thinks like this as well.
