Black women were clear on this. No one ever listens to us. They just use us for their pet social just project of the moment. Not anymore.

We are just waiting for when white folks take up guns against each other like they did in 1861. It's been done before, it can be done again.

I believe that is what it is going to take. But eh? "Listen to Black women" is just something folks have said to try and get us out in front of the guns of the govt. Not getting fooled by that.
