13405137, Your point is misguided Posted by CIPHA, Fri Sep-25-20 07:55 PM
in that you seem to think that black men are not fighting racism and patriarchy at the same time also. Your flawed point assumes that black men are part of the "patriarchy" or, alternatively, that we seek to become part of the "patriarchy" in a collective attempt to aspire towards the power of white men.
It's not true and it never has been. Black men have always been feminists (in that we believe in gender equality), and have never sought to subordinate black women, or any other group for that matter.
I can't fully fault you for this, as it is a common theoretical trope. But as a Black man, I must push back against it at every opportunity.
