As a women who leans left-progressive, this analysis doesn’t bother me, as I’ve read many differing opinions about ‘how women are’, ‘how liberals are’, and ‘how white people are’. It’s helpful to be open-minded, while also retaining your own sense of self.

What is of interest however, is in my observation, the majority of Black women writing and speaking online, the clear message to white women is - get off your ass and take action against white supremacy, as the people who are responsible for inequities are the ones who need to fix it.

Conversely, I’ve seen many Black men (not all) who state just the opposite, that white, female social justice warriors drive them crazy, we need to stay out of it, this is not our fight. Or, as you claim, that all they want to do is jump your bones and compete in the oppression Olympics. Genuinely, I would love to hear from you why you think there’s such a difference of opinion between black women and black men?
