Black People: Stop Doing This On Social Media, Please?!
Welcome to the third episode of Black trauma that EVERYONE is discussing
I just read Rebecca Stevens A. article about two incidences of white men thinking she wanted them romantically simply because she was polite. One of them treated her as if she were a stalker, the other thought she was “overly friendly.
Be careful what you say online, people listen
The reason why I wrote articles titled The New Black Woman and New Black Man, is so that we can build self-esteem and not have to resort culture damaging tactics. If you think other groups of people are not watching and listening to our shenanigans, think again.
The reason why the white men were rude to Rebecca and perhaps to other Black women, is because they are listening to Black Women complain about Black men all day long. They are familiar with divestments groups — i.e. Black women moving on to nonblack men, nonblack towns, etc.
