When dark skinned women speak on the severity of colorism, it’s trivialized and centered around dating. Meanwhile, people are losing FINANCIAL opportunities because they are darker than a paper bag but you dummies think we worried about some ashy dick nigga. Fuck y’all.

When Black people respond “That’s business” or “the game’s the game” to other Black people struggling to enter a similar space, it translates to me as: “I suffered to get here so I’m going to gatekeep for a system that doesn’t value me and make sure others suffer too”

Only a white man would find it sad that a Black nation doesn’t fully trust anyone outside their nation. Bucky broke out Zemo on some bullshit “means to an end” and had no plans to turn him over to the Wakandans That’s exactly why they used the admin code on his ass...arm.

It’s not that we FEEL unprotected. It’s not a feeling. It is a factual, statistically proven truth that Black women are unprotected. Words mean things and calling it a feeling diminishes the very reality of the harm done to us.

@_KimChanel_ Men view and value women in the lenses of ownership and access so will ignore women when they can’t determine if they’ll gain either. The excuses are they don’t want to disrespect anyone but rudeness steeped in misogynoir is far more harmful.
