Lots of Jim Crow studies discussed how Black men were barred from using sidewalks or having any contact with whites, especially white women.
What was the differences? How’d it change? It’s clear they all ain’t the same

The myth of liberal humanism continues to dominate contemporary discussions of Black oppression, genocides, & white ethnonationalism throughout the West. It is time to let go of the myth of a shared humanity.
Who deserves our loyalty: strangers or those closest to us? 🧭🤝 . This September, @TheSchoolOfLife's Alain de Botton and Tommy Curry @DrTJC go head-to-head on one of the most urgent moral questions of our time: is universal morality noble or dangerously naive?. Tap below to dive

Thinking a/b the problem of social and economic inequality being systematically reproduced through race & citizenship.
Should we strive for equality? And is it reachable? . Ever since the French Revolution, equality has been the battle cry of those who think themselves progressive. Today, on matters of gender and income, most want a more equal world and believe more should be done to achieve it.

I applaud the efforts of @RenyTure in dealing w/the mediocrity of Twitter. I am always amazed at the sheer amount of evidence Black scholars produce to refute these claims to no avail. To separate the Independent Research Service's commentaries on racism from feminism is asinine.
Your claim: “Steinem link to CIA had nothing to do with feminism.” Seriously, do you really think the CIA, an agency focused on foreign intelligence and espionage, openly funds domestic organizations??? No, they work through private institutions like the Ford Foundation, which

There are roughly 50 years of first-hand accounts and interviews of Black life under Jim Crow. But these have been erased by gender theory b/c it breaks w/feminist accounts of gendered violence.

These arguments are not about any real concern about violence in Black communities, it is about dehumanizing one group of Black people at the expense of others, b/c as noted within these ethnographies that is how the Negro advances.

The problem was all these theories presumed BM & BW wanted to be white. It was based on the self hatred BW had for being Negro leading to their emphasis on sex & the idea of BM not being men wanting to reclaim white manhood.

In the 1970s, white feminists took on the very same arguments to explain rape & domestic violence. In 1979, you had these theories applied to BM by Jeanne Nobles & others.

or integrated into homes. Decades of white researchers interviewed Black women to confirm that BM were beasts, street men, etc. This family structure explained gang membership, delinquency, homicide, & rape within 20th century social science for roughly 80 years.

For roughly 130 years, white sociologists & feminists claimed the Negro race had no men. Utilizing ethnographies from cities like Philadelphia & New Orleans white researchers claimed that Black communities were matriarchal, meaning BM, were not to be trusted,.

This is ideology. Across sexual violence, domestic violence, and children sexual abuse we see parity. These are claims that can longer be substantiated given the advances in data collection. They persist b/c ideology, not facts.
BW are subject to the gendered violence that BM face and more. It's the not having to experience the ones specific to womanhood that is providing structural power to BM.

It is crazy. Black Americans were attacked by government programs, while white liberals & feminists were working for government surveillance programs trying to destroy student organizations & Black radical organizing. Look what is celebrated today as freedom & progress.
Isn’t it fucking crazy that if the 1971 break-in at the FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania never happened, we wouldn’t have the confirmed proof of COINTELPRO & the fact that the AmeriKKKan government was actively Running 4th/5th Gen warfare against Black America?
