For most slurs, reclamation is considered an individual process. What one person may be comfortable with is not safe to presume everyone will be comfortable with. Additionally, reclamation is normally done within a community, not outside of it.

Yet for sexual minorities, we're meant to suddenly be okay with straight news anchormen calling all of us the "Queer Community," who gave him the right? Lesbian authors are suddenly listed under "queer authors" by articles even when the woman herself has only called herself "lesbian."

Vegetable Fried Rice (蔬菜炒饭) Nothing beats my delicious vegetable fried rice recipe. It is a quick Chinese side dish with rice, eggs, and mixed vegetables. I use chili oil, black bean sauce, and green onion to build a rich pan of fried rice that I can finish in just 15 minutes.

men of every race, when given power, use it to abuse women. just because you didnt have the power to do it in the US 100 years ago, doesn’t mean you wouldnt have done exactly the same thing if you did.

another thing i this is why as a black caribbean woman i avoided all “pro blk” spaces, they are always pro blk male. there is literally a femicide of black women in the usa happening right now. some examples i know of include – shamar elkins attempted to kill his wife after she left him and killed 8 children (7 of which were his own), cerina fairfax was killed by former virgina governor justin fairfax (who also had sexual assault allegations), ashanti allen was 8 months pregnant and murdered by her blk male partner.

im not playing nice, these men need to be executed. these males that are racial minorities want the same power and social status as their white male counterparts (white men are also awful dont get it twisted). look how quick these males who constantly go at it with each other due to racial or ethnic differences gang up on a woman is she dares to disagree with them.

they also see women as women objects and constantly use sex as a means to “conquer” and get the leg up on the other. but in my community we are encouraged to give these males children and are considered “sell outs” if we refuse or we are accused of being “self hating” but blk males can run a muck and are never held accountable for their violent behavior, sexual crimes, and colorism. they are constantly protected by other blk males, 🐥 brained blk women, and non blk liberals🫩
