Black women often ignored by social justice movements
Black women are often less likely to be associated with the concept of a ‘typical woman’ and are viewed as more similar to Black men than to White women.

I spend a lot of time on META because all my friends & family are on there. But I really must consider coming to Bluesky more often because N*zis are very active & comfortable spewing hate-speech. META apps are are as gross as Twitter now.

I wonder if we should make Blackout days at the end of every month. Might as well be consistent with it to keep reminding them who is really in charge.

White people hated DEI because it meant Black People could get jobs they thought they deserved & now they’re mad when there’s Black businesses filled with Black employees. White people just be mad at us for the sake of being mad. Do they even know what they want? 😒

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.
Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”
We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

I never felt so numb in my life… I wanted to back to school this year, get a masters in nursing & work in geriatric medicine/care. Will I even get to do that anymore? 😔

They do it once for the audience & another time towards the picture of their leader. The MSM is calling this “odd” or “awkward” when it’s that blatant.

The Tulsa Race Massacre was not committed by an uncontrolled mob but was the result of “a coordinated, military-style attack” by white citizens, the Justice Department said in a report. It was the first time the U.S. government has given an official account of the 1921 massacre of Black residents.
Tulsa Massacre Was a ‘Coordinated, Military-Style Attack,’ Federal Report Says
The Justice Department’s conclusion follows an investigation of the 1921 atrocity in Oklahoma in which up to 300 Black residents were killed.

I’m going to be choosing the other door. I’m not marching for people only for them to keep stereotyping & treating Black Women like dirt.

It’s amazing to me how Men think they can just tell Women how to be happy while they refuse to go to therapy & form group chats of 70,000 males to discuss how they want to r*pe every Woman in their lives… 😒

Never did! The only race that has slurs created to harm and demean worldwide? Yeah. It's also why I'm so confused seeing all these people (especially black women) trying to divest after the election.
