the discourse surrounding is god is, is very much giving “a hit dog will holler” with these Black men getting upset because anaia & racine did what was necessary to get the justice they deserved. mind you, when sinners came out, not a word was said about smoke & stack killing their own abusive father. there were no “ryan coogler is is portraying Black men in a bad light!!” comments but since is god is was created by a Black woman, there’s a problem with her portraying a Black man as the family annihilator. this is reality so i don’t see the issue when Black femicide rates are already sky high and just keeps rising because these men won’t seek therapy.

What do you think of the opinion that white women saying "who set the system up" and talks of the patriarchy is a tactic that silences black men? I'm curious about the nuance of this conversation and if these topics truly in some ways silence black men in regards to racism. I personally don't see white women talking about black men, usually it's just personal experiences with men in general or white men but I wonder if black men were harmed in any way bcs of this. Or even black women. This person compared it to the analogy of having proximity to the king (white woman having proximity to the king the white man) while others are outside (minorities) but you (white woman) still say the kingdom is very oppressive.

I might expand on this in the morning, but there is a repeating pattern of misogynoir toward African feminists from TRAs. I’ve already heard about what they’ve done to Paris on TikTok, to Chimamanda on Twitter, and Jana Cornel all the way back in 2016. I’ve recently heard about what they’ve done to Hibo Wardere. She’s a feminist who was very vocal about the horrors of FGM on Twitter. And certain activists got very angry and harassed her off of the platform. They were more offended by the word, female in female genital mutilation than the very act of it. Like I know I’m not the first person to mention this, but this pattern is so overt.
