White women had the right to vote in 1920.

Black women didn't get to vote until 1963.

White feminists live in a self-centered la la land where they are blinded by their own White Privilege and think they speak for all the experiences of Women of Color. THEY DO NOT so long as they sleep every night with The White Man.

black woman was the first human on earth, in truth.

@TruthandJustice101 White women should not be a spokespeople for women of colour because thats like a man being a spokesmen for a women, I would not want to speak on someone elses behalf because its rude, How am I suppose to truly understand something I have not witnessed. I hate our society we rape and pillage other countrys then moan when they move here (Im from the uk) I believe in anarchism and support no boarders fuck the government, fuck the patriarchy and fuck nations.

@TruthandJustice101 Thats not true, I am a white feminist, Although I could never imagine being a black women, I support everything women have achieved so far yet there is still so much more work to do, So much more research I need to do to understand the great struggles a black women still faces today I don't think racist speech is really necessary on the comment wall of such a excellent inspiring video. Black women could vote in 1920 but there was a poll tax making it difficult due to costs.

-Both the Institutional separation of Blck wmn frm Blk men, as well as a forced seperation of Blk wmn frm their children-have been well knwn to be related to slavery's roots. Blck wmn hve been single mothers, since the late 1800`s. It is nt new, & neither is Blk Feminism. A copy of that paper I wrote is avail. on my blog. Great lecture.

@SuperBlackChic. im also against homosexuality but i believe they should have a right to get married mainly because we shouldnt deny them a right to do something they want to do. also marriage as it stands is a joke and seeing to gay people get a divorce would be comical. im against drug use but guess what against the drug war. i dont think my believes nor no ones should be impose on others. people must have their own self determination. but black abortion is black genocide. abortion is genocide

@SuperBlackChic. im mad because the laws are hypocritical. im against abortion but i also believe people should have liberty and women should have the liberty to abort but men should also have the liberty to opt out of all parenthood responsiblity as women do. its only fair. women shouldnt be forced to be mom nor should men be forced to be dads. the laws clearly support just because a women has sex and get pregnant doesnt mean she has to be a mom, i just want equal rights for men.

@SuperBlackChic. u r either promoting racial mixing, lesbianism or asexuality. pretty much the results will be what white racist want - black population attrition and decline = less black people will be born and those that are born are less black every generation (this is already happening as we speak - im not saying its good or bad - im just its happeing). the next superblackchic will have blue eyes and blonde hair. lol. 50% of welfare is black women - that is a bold face lie.

@SuperBlackChic. im saying if we are not locking women up for abortion than we shouldnt lock men up either. its hypocritical to lock men up for abandoning parental responsiblity while allowing women to do the same thing in the form of abortion, being a deadbeat or giving it up for adoption. i said im pro-life but giving men choice as in allowing them to decide if they want parental rights would be real pro-choice (im not saying men should force women to have the babies).
