I recently came to the realization that I am angrier about sexism than I am about racism.

Black males are the most incarcerated people on the planet...

Black males are the most unemployed people on the planet...

Black males have been historically targeted for gender violence such as castrations and rapes...

Black males are heavily discriminated against when it comes to criminal sentences...

Black males disproportionately victims of sexualize violence through the prison industrial complex...

Black males are ignored wen it comes to domestic violence


The problem is...we call a lot of things that happen to Black males as racism and act like it happens to Black women when it doesn't...when it's clearly a racialized sexism
Yep. Black men have it worst than black women. Not even the great Malcolm x was right on this one.

I love her. It's true. Often times black males will downplay things that we go through as women and white broads will downplay things we go through as Blacks.

Sexism does bother me more than racism.

I've only been called a nigg*r to my face ONCE.

I've been called a bytch or a ho by nikkas that didn't even know me plenty of times.

There's always a dominant identify. The one you choose for yourself, or the one society chooses for you.

C'mon man, don't be that guy. You're right in the sense that Sexism isn't JUST men oppressing women, but it is MOSTLY men oppressing women.

I don't understand your point. You admit that sexism isn't just men being over women.


when a cac subconciously stereotypes a black male to be more of a threat than a black woman, that's sexism in action.

And black women aren't viewed a certain way "sexually"? Cmon man, I'm not even one of them "feminist" type cats, but damn somethings shouldn't even need to be debated.
Exactly. So what do you call black men being the most represented in the prison industrial complex while being the least represented in the job market? Does discrimination for specifically being a black man not exist? Is that not sexism when black women don't face the same level of discrimination?
