In reply to the discussion: "I'm of the general belief that as racist as this country can be, its even MORE sexist." [View all]AllTooEasy
(1,261 posts)39. Let me guess, a White woman wrote this BULLSHIT post
Sexism is a major problem, both nationally and globally. That's a fact.
It irritates me that mostly White Women think that sexism is and has been the ultimate evil in this country. Really?!
When is the last time a White Woman was pulled over for Not-Signalling-While-Female and the cop drew his gun? https://www.vibe.com/2017/09/cop-draws-gun-on-black-man-turn-signal-video/
Or Running-While-Female? http://www.theroot.com/running-while-black-melanin-and-movement-does-not-a-t-1795944863
Do you think that a White Female would have been shot while running towards police to seek help after a car crash? https://news.vice.com/article/dashcam-video-of-cop-killing-black-man-seeking-help-after-car-crash-shown-at-trial
Or just shot by a cop in her car for no fucking reason?
How man people were hung from trees just for being a White Female? Do they match these stats: http://atlantablackstar.com/2015/02/24/10-american-states-with-the-most-lynchings-of-black-people-from-1882-1968/
When has a man been shot by a chauvinist bigot because the victim was mistaken for a woman?
http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/15/us/sikh-hate-crime-victims/index.html
When did the great genocide of women happen, like it happened to Native Americans?
When did the European female slave trade happen?
When were White Women told to give up their seat on a bus ride to a racial minority man?
Why aren't White Men gentrifying White Women in our inner cities?
Yes Obama won and Hillary lost (or did she?), but she didn't die or get pushed out her home to a reservation. Not to mention that the majority of White Female voters went for Trump. WTF?!

Sexism over Racism??? Homophobia, definitely. A heterosexual Black man like myself can't ignore that. America hasn't been fair to women in any realm of our society, but it's been down right evil to minorities. A White Women is under-respected, underappreciated, underpaid, and underrepresented. A Black Woman? Just another n-word that should be exterminated in the eyes of AmeriKKKa.

OP
The misogyny in this country is every bit as evil as the racism and homophobia.

1 problem is how women look at other women. Hilary lost the white women vote. How in the hell?
