EXCLUSIVE: Melissa Harris-Perry Interviews Anita Hill, 25 Years Later

[Basement Beat]

9. Major respect to Anita Hill...

and also to Melissa Harris-Perry.
Growing up in a household where my father (who unfortunately died when I was lad) showed by example to respect and honor black women especially - it's very easy to realize how absolutely amazing and varied my counterparts are.
So much burden has been put on their shoulders in terms of being trailblazers for EVERY generation in this country; and the push to be "strong" constantly can be enormously tiring.
In no fear of this post being blocked for whatever reason (DU is weird these days) we as their counterparts (i.e black men) have to collectively support and stand side by side. Far too often things that happen to sisters like Ms. Hill happen in various forms.

Apologies for going off into a tangent.
