Status Updates From Angry Black Girl

Another instance where I would’ve loved to have seen just a little more depth here. Like I am intruige by the observation of “They think about hoes versus women, good girls versus fast girls.” But attributing that cycle to “putting relationships and familial love over self love” feels like ignoring a bigger issue😭

“Women who say that ‘feminism is code for man-hating’ are just afraid to look like man-haters for the sake of their dating lives. Women who balk at feminism with incredulity are looked at with the same mixture of pity and annoyance as Black Uncle Toms.”

Beeeeeeeyitch 😭

“Where would we go if the app were to spontaneously shut down?”

Welp!

“Racists are incapable of seeing Black people as humans or victims. Too Pro-Blacks are incapable of seeing Black people as capable of the same atrocities as their oppressors or as anything, but victims who can’t be held accountable. Both groups are on the same team, holding people back from progression.”

“[Hoteps] want to gain the benefits of white supremacy while being Black.”

“ They push motherhood as the ultimate sacrifice for the white race, and this is where many hoteps meet racists on the same level when they try to regulate the reproductive rights in sexual choices of black women under the guise of racial advancement and empowerment.”

Biiiiiiiitch 😭 I’d die, right there.

"...Whereas, Black slave men were just required for the sexual aspect---they didn't carry or raise their children, so their sex was not explicitly tied to fatherhood. Because Black men had few social, economic and political validations of their manhood during slavery, sexual conquests---not fatherhood---became their thing."

"A good chunk of Black women's status in this country was that of forced baby-makers, solidifying their primary role of child-bearers, stamping out their sexual autonomy. Recall that when a Black slave woman had a child, the child was then also a slave. Their sex was tied to motherhood..."

"Perhaps they don't realize they are regurgitating oppressive ideologies that were used by white men throughout history to subject their Black female ancestors to a plethora of horrors."

"Isn't it ironic that many Black men claim women who have sex with multiple partners have 'no self-esteem', yet, many of those same Black men validate their own self-esteem and masculinity using the quantity of their sexual conquests?"

Oooooh Lexi COOKED in this chapter!

“Many toxic attitudes in the black community are regurgitated leftovers of white supremacy.”

“The mainstream media doesn’t care too much about missing Black girls. When Black girls go missing, they are categorized as “runaways”, if they are even reported missing. They don’t think about what the girls are running from, is tearing theorizing that they’re probably off “being fast.”

“Primates were noted as hyper sexual, so [white] explorers [who believed Africans came from primates] applied the trademark to Africans.”

“Black men and women were enveloped into the category of hyper sexual, as if European countries weren’t teeming with brothels and syphilis.”

OKAY LET’S TALK ABOUT IT 🗣️

“Descendants of slaves and imperialism—the roots of the wealth imbalance in this country—somehow consider their money cleaner than that of sex workers.” 🤔
