    this situation is really unfortunate for her. I hope she find peace and hopefully her label backs off and lets her relax.

    both is one group being oppressed by another

    You should use a different word. Your point is getting lost in the significance of systematic oppression

    i read your entire post bruh i can read.

    you did explicitly say that, and then you explicity said "however"

    i was clearly responding to the "however" and i even quoted your own words to help convey that.

    The however you were responding to was a bridge to the topic of oppression. I’m sure you know the definition of that, and given the context of the social climate we live in, I’m sure you know which definition of oppression I was referring to. I said black men don’t have the facilities to actually oppress black women in the way the definition of the word would entail, but we do have to acknowledge how we hurt them in other ways

    The basis of it is to say that straight Black cis-men are the oppressors within the Black community

    We mistreat Black women, Black gay people, and Black trans people

    And above all that, we act like we’re the most victimized above all other Black people, usually ignoring their hardships and taking over their movements in the process

    you're overgeneralizing black men. Not all black men are oppressors towards black women, black gay people, or trans people.

    And it irks me that there has to be some sort of who's oppressed the most game in our community when were ALL oppressed by society due to our skin color.

    that’s just thing people aren’t including it they are separating it and making it two diffrent things

    perhaps we're on two different versions of twitter then bro. that has always been the message and the mission from the start. equality for black people ACROSS THE BOARD. and if black men are getting in the way of that, then how could the women not be on some "fuck 'em" type s***?

    toxic masculinity (not masculinity in general) causes one to keep their feelings inside and not be open about them as a result of societys standard of men being stoic people that need to be strong

    this can lead to more depression and anxiety in one as a result of feeling the need to hold those emotions in which then leads to higher amounts of suicide

    Also if you aren’t black don’t speak on or make weirdo statements about black men & black women

    That s*** starts a narrative which causes division, the community is already been divided ever since Toyin’s death, not to mention more black women coming out about their social injustices

    Actually be civil & make rational statements rather than trolling for quotes + likes

    People are desensitized.

    If that bullet hit her somewhere else, wouldn't be no memes.

    That's why people need to cut their addiction to Twitter. It turns people into f***ing clowns.

    Yep. Everything has to become a meme now

    Yes

    Girl his first response was to shoot her several times in a violent altercation and the first thing we do is get our jokes off

    When has pop culture joked about a potential artists death ? Unless I’m missing something this is the first time of this magnitude, period.

    Akademiks made a whole career off of it

    you wanted an example

    I’m not arguing any of your points but that was a potentially disastrous situation that became a meme

    Because Dolph turn it into a meme himself, Meg is real live traumatized, plus dolph is street nigga who embraces that life style while Meg could be a potential victim

    Who need to wait & see what happens

    taking an additive approach to intersectionality opens the door for non-black folks to make these statements

    "Not all Black men"

    "Not all White people"

    "Not all cops"

    I'm by no means saying all Black men, but there are enough to where it is a problem. If it weren't so many of us, this wouldn't be a talking point

    Y’all gotta understand that when you pull the “not all black men” card you’re doing the same s*** white people do about racism

    It’s understood that you may not actively be suppressing the voices of black women or harming them but you’re inherently benefiting for a patriarchal system. Black men may be oppressed but we still have advantages that black women don’t have

    It’s a privilege that should be acknowledged

    hey man relax

    oh i blame the users as well

    ok word. all i'm saying is people call for the destruction of twitter like it's the catalyst for all evil in the world. twitter is the platform, the "evil" stems from its users.

    that would be like blaming the presidential race for existing instead of the people who elected our president just doesn't compute for me

    It’s possible for two diffrent people to see diffrent things on twitter that’s how the website is designed to work but i’m saying people aren’t getting in the way i’m not even saying they are all i’m saying it what system are we changing what are we doing to change this
