Warning, mentions of rape, kidnappings, beatings, racism, sexism, almost every isue except mental illnesses. Also, foul language is used.
I wrote this when I was thirteen. Enjoy.
I hate it when people use the term 'angry feminist', as if to diminish the meaning or power of our words. Or when people try to say that they are a feminist, but don't support Black Lives Matter. Fighting for one groups equality without supporting the others is hypocritical. The issues of race and sex are inseparable. So, why do people constantly try to divide them? For a black woman, the oppression she receives from her skin and the fact that she is a woman are one in the same.
The question isn't
"Why am I angry?" It's
"Why aren't you?"
Race
Is just
Your skin.
Your heritage,
Family. Kin.
Sex
Is just what
Reproductive system
You have.
Gender
Is just an
Idea.
Words to describe you.
Ways for society
To oppress you, with
Stereotypes. Expectations.
Religion
Is just what you
Believe.
What gets you
Through the day.
Guides you.
Income
Is just money.
How you pay for
Food.
A house.
Clothing.
Why is this so hard?!?!?
My seven year old cousin and
Four year old sister understand this
Better than most.
Children don't care about
Boys in dresses.
Women in power.
Two moms or
Two dads.
Skin color.
Religion.
Sex.
Gender.
Girls in blue.
Boys in pink.
Men being feminine.
Women being masculine.
THEY DON'T CARE!!
