    You still a ? though. So while you bash black men in favor of women. When ? gets real those white, Asian Hispanic etc women will throw you under a bus. Black men have their flaws but for the most part we got your back far more than you think.

    The point of the hashtag is to point out the stuff that gets ignored, if something is getting ignored how exactly am I going to provide facts?

    It's obviously something that a lot of bw experience so why say it sounds dumb because you don't like what they're saying?

    But if you're genuine about making the change, then maybe you should be amplifying the positive about black men instead of the negative.

    Black power isn't for black men only. But go ahead and keep saying that dumb ? . Thank ? I got a good sistah who understands this. Alot of you women need your daddies and some help. Misplacing own personal dissatisfaction with that of mistreatment of black women.

    What gets ignored, really? But I bet if your white husband is having a "bad day" and call you "? ? " you will over look that as him just having a bad day.

    But let a black man call you ? ...it's a different story.

    Smh. Confused minds out here man.

    Stop trying to divert. If he called you a ? ? , you would excuse him. If a black man called you a ? , you would go on your feminist rant and respond with hostility. And no ma, you being married to a white man doesn't bother me. In fact, I say good riddance. I'm all for interracial marriages but at the same time, no one understands me like my own kind or those who face the same trials and tribulations as my people.

    The white man will never understand that and because of that, he will then force you think differently. But you don't see it. You're protected by the white man's seal of approval. But if you wrong him? You're a ? ? ? that wasn't ? to begin with.

    I would leave obviously. Typically when a white person uses racial slurs it's not in the heat of the moment type thing, it's typically a deep rooted hatred/disliking for whatever group they're insulting. I'm not interested in being married to someone that hates me.

    All assumptions based off of the nothing you know about me or my husband. That's why I said you're hoping that happens. Why? I don't know. and if my relationship doesn't bother you, why are you bringing it up? Why do you act like I'm such a terrible person that treats black men like ? but worships white men....just because I'm married to a white man? Have you ever seen any post of mine suggesting that? You're basically trying to judge the type of person I am solely based on the fact that my husband's skin is white.

    and to answer your question No I wouldn't excuse him, I would actually be more inclined to excuse the black man because I'm not married to him so he doesn't have to be respectful towards me but my husband does.

    The trend is based on pure emotion no logic. Patrice spit that truth when he said females make a movie in their head starring them, costarring them as you, directed by them and will flip the script in every way possible so that a ? is the villain.

    Now ? can respond back with just as much anger and other emotion, but the most efficient way to shut this ? down is a spock like logically driven dissection of this garbage.

    I have had like eleventy different discussions with black feminists they start running like roaches when I'm break out the logic and shine light on that ass.

    Ma, you won't ever get it. You won't ever understand it. No matter how bad it gets with my sistahs as far as understanding and communication, I won't say some dumb ? like "I never found a black woman that I like". That's just stupid. It doesn't take a PhD to know that you could have found someone that you liked in a black male. Us good men are out there, but like white men and other stupid ass black folks, you lumped all in a category. How ironic? But you found a white man that you liked real quick huh?

    And yes, there is various ways a person exposes their character. It takes some keen sense and some people studying to recognize it. And you are very easy to read ma.

    What the ? ?? can you not understand that black men are no longer your concern. You are married to a ? white man one of our greatest enemies. You are no longer really part of "us" you have really made yourself an outsider so maybe you should stay the ? out of our problems.

    A black person cannot be married to a white person and think black people are going to believe you really care about black people. if you love us so much you would never have married a white person.

    Nah bruh, this whole ? started because of a male feminist admitted to demonizing black women because they were "in the way" and basically went on a twitter rant.

    So somebody put the hashtag #SolidarityisforWhiteWomen because people were busy consoling the dude for going crazy instead of speaking on the people he damaged in the process.

    Black Man-Haters feel like white Man-Haters never let them play in any of the Man-Hate games. Basically when white man-haters are attacking men black women feel like they are left out of all the fun.

    So of course whenever race is involved and whites are under attack they do what always works. Turn the angry black ? in the direction of black males and say, "there you go LaQueefa...attack him." And like a good ? ? they fall for it every time.

    it's all a distraction...
    it's all a joke...

    because what truly dictates whether you are treated fairly is MONEY.
    Oprah had money...still got treated like a ? on TWO occasions overseas.
    ? the male vs female rhetoric.

    ? the black vs white rhetoric.
    ? aint only rhetoric when it gets people killed or jailed or branded.
    we as a people are being toyed wit like marionettes by the rich....
    No not WE....just dumb black ? that fell for this ? . Femi-? 's are always looking for any little way to show white man-haters that "they too can hate males and deserve to be invited into the 'club'"
    we all have a common enemy in the wealthy...
    No we have a common enemy in the general white population. Rich people are just like you and I only they got more money.

    Most rich people are like most poor people: Many aint ? , some are decent human beings and MOST are somewhere in the lower middle.


    how exactly should ppl in non english speaking countries know oprah?
    they dont watch her show

    its just how it is, alotta white men dont like white women married to blacc men and alotta blacc men dont like it if blacc women are married to white men.
    iono its a psychological thing better not to think too much about it.
