The Erasure of Black Women Continues: Let's talk about Misogynoir

135. One thing people don't seem to understand

is that black women don't need to have been Kamala supporters to recognize that she was held to a different standard.

So all of these, "If racism and sexism affected Kamala's campaign, why did more African Americans support Biden" type responses are pure BS. Black voters and black women voters in particular aren't a monolith and we don't vote for candidate just because they're black. And we can prefer a white candidate over a black one without thinking that the black candidate is bad or ineffective or unworthy. And we can still prefer a white candidate AND see that the black candidate is being treated differently.

Don't get it twisted. Don't think that the fact that more black voters seemed to support other candidates gives racism and sexism a pass. We can see exactly what happened to Kamala and we can see how certain people are trying to tell us that it had nothing to do with her race or gender when we damned well know better.
