Indeed. Who in the world believes black women suffer more than black men?
.
It's not a contest. Black women were in the fields working just like the men. They were getting raped just like the men. They were separated from their families just like the men.
They got hosed down and dogs set on them just like the men. They were hung just like the men. They were set on fire just like the men. They were a spit on and attacked just like the men.
Today they are unjustly arrested just like the men. Still being killed for no good reason. Black women are racially profiled. Black women have been killed by the police. Black women have been told they are worthless just like the men.
Professionally, Black women have a hard time at work with passive aggressive Betty's and being labeled as having an "attitude" problem. Maybe black women are hired more than men. Okay. One cookie for you. That is not a reason to dismiss the experiences that we face, because most of them are very similar.
This is not a suffering competition. Grow up. It's time for healing.
