men still have an advantage in power. put four people in a room all making the same salary, black and white. the general power structure will go: white man, white woman, black man, black woman
black men are fighting for equality on one ground, black women are fighting from a number of perspectives

I feel like "I said nothing about women" is insulting my intelligence, because who is the root of this post about?
This idea that Black men are >invalidating Black women simply by sharing their experience is >just plain dangerous at this point. Did realize you created >that scenario?
sorry you're hung up on semantics and words. instead of "invalidating", does "standing in opposition" work?
again, "Im simply sharing my experience" when women speak up sounds a lot like All Lives Matter women have things to be upset about, yes men do as well. but "what about us?" isnt helping make any sort of progress
