The 3rd Argument

Argument:

"Indian Women, Arab Women have no rights... This bs dividing us"

Analysis:

To consider Indian women and Arab women have melanated origins, isn't this to suggest that any woman bearing any melanin isn't safe? Right? But does their struggle normalize colorism?

In a world where the man is discriminated for his skin, but the woman is valued less for both her skin and gender...black women have more to worry about because for one they have to worry about not being accepted in america for their skin color and are the only women to see their physical features sexualized, fetishsized, shamed but yet glorified on white skin by white women and men alike in media, jobs, education..etc...

Arab Women and Indian Women are stereotyped too, but did any of them suffer the ALL following?

1. Seeing their men killed, raped, and dehumanized...

2. Raped and beaten themselves...BUT called ugly, dirty, slutty by the same men who did these things.

3. Be stripped of their children thrown to the fire but have to raise, feed, tuck in and breastfeed white babies....who grew up to hate them...Fueling their own suffering.

4. Hold the house down that was hopeless because there was no escape because the white man controlled their men, children, house, freedom, family separation, history, image perception, bodies, food?

A. If they were allowed to keep their children...they promoted the idea that hard work, respect and education would lead to freedom..when those features on black people were invalid because "they're still n******"

Yet having to serve the man who did these things..

(Mass Incarceration, Police Brutality and White Supremacy still do this today)

Look, I'm not one to just downplay oppression and struggle, I am sensitive to the struggled of ALL WOMEN AND MINORITIES.

But, however, saying other women suffering is a reason one group's suffering is insignificant?

... Intersectionality and Colorism exists people...

Black women suffer the same near hopeless struggle black men do, being told to "straighten their hair, talk white, get educated" when these things are invaluable on black skin, and told they are "wannabe whites"..when their authentic blackness wasn't appreciated on them..just on whites...yet another justification to denial of equality. Even their voice, organization, history, isn't acknowledged by anyone, but when they're confident in themselves they have "attitude"

Mothers stereotypically hold the house down, and if fathers are taken away by the system the mom is "ghetto and worthless" for being a single mom when she had nothing to do with it. Black men are shamed upon return, if returned because wrongful convictions still serve as legitimate in job, loan, college, and benefit applications....Mothers struggle holding it down as well since the system is against them yet still do but don't escape hate.

What's my point?

Conclusion

This statement has some truth to it...but black men aren't the only fault here and the suffering of black women isn't something to be downplayed...but this all came from white supremacy and therefore sits at the root cause yet so many want to soley blame and shame black people in general without highlighting that root cause. This furthers white supremacy right? When the image of black men and women is already promoted as bad in mainstream?

Lastly,

The argument of
"Black Men should be men and suit up"

WRONG!

Black men shouldn't have to "deal with" self hate and treatment!!!

2nd Argument:

"Black Women should compromise and stop being so difficult"

WRONG!!!

Black women shouldn't be hated and have to submit to their treatment either.....considering they already sacrifice everything..

THERE IS NO FORMULA FOR FIGHTING A HOPELESS SYSTEM "PROPERLY"...ITS INTENTION WHEN CREATED WAS TO BE UNSTOPPABLE.

WHY WOULD "THE PROPER WAY" BE
TO USE THE SYSTEM THATS AGAINST YOU, AND PLAY BY THE RULES  ACCORDING TO THE CREATOR OF THIS SYSTEM" BE THE WAY OUT?

The argument of ..

"How Black Women should handle their Struggle vs How Black Men should handle their Struggle and who should compromise"

IS A DIVISIVE DISTRACTION THAT  has NO winning side..the claims made against the actions of certain Black Men and Women have the sole intention of faulting the actions them self...the responses...WITHOUT FAULTIG THE CAUSE...this was predicted, planned and preached for years....BY THE WHITE MAN!!  WHO PROMOTED AND PRACTICED THIS CRITIQUE AND TREATMENT TO PREVENT BLACK UNITY.  WILLIE LYNCH SYNDROME.

BOOM.. OUT.
