I find it funny that the people who worry the most about ageism towards the older members of our society are the ones with such a negative opinion about young people and say ageist or youthist things about them. This same things goes for reverse racism and misandry. I am 100 percent certain that all of those people who called me racist or ageist are the ones who are actually racist as hell and fear young black women like me taking their power. Because i really am trying to empower black women to speak out and to not fear pushback from those standing in the way. And we will take our power. And we are not suffiently grateful for our rights that we are allowed to have or willing to shut up to please the majority. I get tired of the whole 'i marched for YOUR rights to be treated half way decent, so you need to respect us, stop making us uncomortable, and let us do all the speaking and decision making' attitude i see among some folks here.
Many people here are playing a strange game.
