Tired of Asking, Ain't I a Women

I am purposely releasing this at the start of March. Black History Month is just ending. Women's History Month is beginning. I am a Black Woman and I don't get to choose to be one or the other. That is not a privilege bestowed on me. And even in 2020, that fact slaps me in the face, as if I asked for it to do so.

Who has seen "The Circle" on Netflix? If you haven't let me warn you. A Black Feminine woman was used twice as catfish profiles but one never enters the game. Also, be prepared for the "She's too nice. I know the type. She's fake." discussion. Black Feminine women do make appearances on another Netflix social experiment show, "Love is Blind".

But one has her name picked on by one contestant & gets gaslit and insulted by another contestant. Cute & fun shows but that optics I couldn't shake. Then there is "A Fall from Grace" from Tyler Perry. If he insists on writing everything, can he do some thorough research? I am the child of a black woman that was in banking. Momma worked with other women of all races & cultures in that industry. Nobody is more vigilant at checking their bank accounts than women in banking. Love doesn't make folks that kind of stupid.

FYI: Not knowing who Sojourner Truth
is a major issue.

And even though he has apologized & she accepted the apology (Thank you to his mom) and she seemed to be wrong for asking such questions in the clip of a whole CBS interview, Snoop Dogg, the rapper decides to publicly call Gayle King a “funky dog-head bitch” & threatened her because of her rather crass questions. Which triggered the male humans that look like him, who were just days ago were saying they love protecting the future black women in their lives, to fling out the b-word, bed wench, and other profane descriptions to a 60+-year-old black woman. But none of this is not as bothersome as Terry Crews & Heidi Klum talking about reports on Gabriele Union being removed from America's Got Talent. Yes, disrespect from a Black man & a white Woman. In a world where PR help is refused & the statement, "STFU is Free" is not understood, both of these people negate her reported experience with comparative comments about their own. Then they were offended that people were telling them they were wrong. Crews did apologize. But didn't his wife, a Black wife advised him not to speak on the issue in the first place. And to think, March just started.

And people wonder why I wrote this POST and this POST!!!

I know my sistas & I are Sojourner Truth's dream. Her dream is unfulfilled, because unfortunately, we are still asking her 1851 question, Ain't I a Woman, in 2020. Society pours out all their stats about how they see the unfair treatment & perceptions of Black women, yet is still blind to its findings. And it expects us, Black Women to pick up some chalk & a dry-erase marker and teach them their data. One day, we will close the doors to our classroom and they will learn. One Day!!!
