The bottom line as I see it:
Why the hell is it that everytime a black woman states her mind she is labeled as ANGRY or AGRESSIVE?
I am so sick as a black woman, a woman of color, a biracial woman, a nappy headed woman, (whatever label I choose to accept for myself this week) to notice that when myself and other black women or women of color challenge anyone on their beliefs which I hardly ever do on HM but often do IRL,
is it SO offensive to people? (whether it is directly and succinctly worded as such or not) Please stop feeling so defensive just because someone tells you they are somewhat exasperated of the experience of being a black woman on Hipmama! Every day of my life I wake up and I am a black woman. I cannot look away from it. If I log off the computer race does not go away for me. No matter what I change my screen name to...I am still black. It is tiring and exhausting, and whether people are intentionally trying to wear me or any other black woman out with what are often very innocent comments, it is still tiring, and damnit, I have a right to say so every once in a while.
