It’s a very interesting site, and I’m glad blogspot has ignored the unfair flags.

Yeah, you guys get this whole freedom of speech thing. Pathetic little fascists.

Black women have been more likely to……

One of the biggest myths that black women believe is………..

But, black women suffer not just from the hells that can be dished out by ALL men.

For starters, do you not realize that white women are also humiliated and degraded by ALL men?

Second, while there is no excuse for racism of any kind, make no mistake: racism was invented by white MEN.

Wow! Also, how can one “tell the truth on a country that you love” if said country is “a ravening Great Whore of Babylon against black women”? Thats a dysfunctional relationship. Get out!

Second, while there is no excuse for racism of any kind, make no mistake: racism was invented by white MEN. White women have been oppressed by white men for thousands of years, and when white women are racist, it is another case of the oppressed oppressing the oppressed. That does not make it okay, of course, but let’s be clear on its evolution.

Third, I never said women of color do not suffer in porn – quite the opposite. The point I was trying to make is that if women of color ever question whether white women suffer like they do, a quick look at some of the worst porn out there shows that all women of all colors and backgrounds are equally humiliated and degraded in this industry which is watched by ALL men and is a multi-billion dollar industry that is bigger than Hollywood. THAT was my point.

Fourth, I think your claim that white women are apathetic toward women of color and/or that they don’t do enough to advance the rights of black women is debatable. Perhaps you’ve had this experience with SOME white women, but most that I know care deeply about the lives of women of color and work hard to promote the rights of all women. In fact, I think this is one of the biggest myths/misunderstandings between white women and women of color.

And I am well aware that ALL women suffer in this country; but, facts do have to be faced. Many white women look at sexism as if it is the only harsh reality that women face. But, many black women can tell a different story of having to face RACISM, SEXISM, CLASSISM, and many other isms.

I stand by what I stated.

White women have not lived the lives of black American women. Because of the legacy of white men’s hatred of black women, white women in America will never face the vestiges of male hatred of sexism and racism that black women face.

And as for this part of your comment:

“The only problem with black women might be that they have no compassion for white women and the common struggles, prejudices, and abuse they both suffer at the hands of their men.”

I am well aware of what white women have experienced in America at the hands of their hateful sexist/racist white men. I am also aware of the vicious cruelties white women have inflicted on black women, black men and black children, throughout this country’s history. I am also well aware that millions of white women still prefer to cloak themselves in their white skin privilege instead of joining forces with millions of black women.

Many white women living in 2008 America care nothing for many black women. Many white women in America benefit from the degradations done to black women by white men. Many white women benefit from the lies/myths/stereotypes created by white men against black women.

And for your information, many black women have cared more for white women than many white women have cared for black women.

Many laws that have been struck down against sexism/sexual abuse were first challenged by BLACK WOMEN. And why not? Black women faced the most hells from racism/sexism so if anyone had to fight against AND resist oppression it fell into the hands of black women to take on the war against white supremacy.

Sadly, many white women have stood more on the sidelines than they have helped.

Past.

AND present.

Yes, white women suffer form sexism that affects all women, but, not all women suffer the same. Sexism is but one part of what I prefer to call the many-headed Hydra of Isms. One woman’s battle with sexism is not the same as another woman’s. Where many white women face sexism, millions of black women face racism and classism, as well as sexism, and that creates a different viewpoint and life experience. Black women have never had the luxury of deciding between whether racism OR sexism is the worse of two evils for us. We have had to fight both battles. When many white women should have been joining coalitions with black women, those many white women were working against black women. I would say the problem with black women is that they have had TOO much compassion for everyone: black men, white men, white women, people of other races——everyone but themselves.

I was very specific in my comments, and I stand by what I stated.

Many white women have not suffered the hells that black women have. Many white women remain silent too often when it is black women who are catching hell.

Yes, yes, white women suffer from rape, humiliation and abuse.

But, black women suffer not just from the hells that can be dished out by ALL men.

Black women also suffer form the indifference, the silence, the apathy, and the callousness that many white women turn towards their fellow black SISTERS.
