What can black women do today?

1st - Stop muling. Stop the unnecessary, avoidable struggle where we have complete control.

We didn't start the war, but we're not playing offense.

We continue to be complicit in our own devaluation by supporting those who devalue us
#NotYourMule
Don't care how this comes off- you're going to have to deal

As a 41 yr old married black woman who has maintained her figure after childbirth, excellent health, doesn't mule, unstressed & unbothered, businesswoman, who has full time autonomy & building wealth?

I promote US.
I am surrounded by educated, upper middle class and wealthy, black, white, Asian and interracial couples

And I don't carry any baggage like a mule.

EVERYBODY knows that my dark skin and being a black woman is not impacting MY quality of life negatively.

@chanychingching
They can see it for themselves.

And I am treated accordingly.
I make it a point to make these men wish they had chosen a black woman or rather, question the artificially propped up value of their own wives.

And THAT is creating status for black women. 👑💅😊

@chanychingching
You're not creating status for darker skinned black women by playing the role carved out for you to be the #UnilateralRaceLoyalists MULE.

No.

You're just doubling down on it.

All your extra suffering and tolerating b.s. just reinforces perceptions of our/your low status.
No one wants to be associated with struggle & suffering.

Not even our own black men.

And even tho they are often the source of such struggle & suffering, you don't get points for being a revolutionary.

In fact, it lowers your value. Black men don't like their helpers sexually
Do you hear me?

Marching for them as revolutionaries and being their she-ros makes you LESS desirable.

Men aren't attracted to their "sisters" like that, it's incestual.

So stop calling them your brothers.

And this has been going on, but you don't pay attention.
So all of you dummies out there putting your lives on the line getting hit by police cars for colorist men, "dark women bring dark days" or "death to darkskins" look stupid.

And men know exactly how to put stupid women to work. ☕
That is all.

#NotYourMule 💅👑❤
P.s. get mad at me.🙄

Y'all are so smart, but you haven't figured out that black women are the only group trying to tear this shyt down.

Black men aren't trying to tear this s*** down. They want a piece.

Their actions prove this.

No one wants a FULL revolution but YOU.
White women want a spot.

Asian women want a spot.

Latinas risk their lives coming here to get a spot.

Black women are the only ones trying to blow up the spot.

With no help.

Just a mule working for everyone but ourselves.

#NotYourMule
Carrying the country to a revolution they don't want is the definition of muling.

#NotYourMule
Byetch, if they want a revolution they'll start it themselves.
They outnumber YOU.
US.
It's called MATH.
Did you ever once think that seeing YOU live a good life and not playing their bottom or providing them comfort & status security with "mule p0rn" images of unnecessary, extra credit struggle might actually bring them to want to burn this mf down?

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT IT?

And if you've been following my Twitter for years you know I have so many mixed feelings about this topic.

On one hand, it is clear that black *descendants* are trending to be America's "bottom". No, we're not there quite yet because Latinx are slightly behind, but catching fast
Notice my emphasis on black *descendants*, not first generation immigrants from Africa or the Caribbean.

Being a black *descendant* will be associated with being the "bottom", financially, educational attainment, dual income households for upper middle class #UPRMC presence.

I'm not sure why this is shocking some people.

Many of these #GenZ children are younger than popular social media platforms.

Personally, I love the idea of being able to access which programs other kids are involved.

As a parent of an elementary school-aged child, I know from personal experience how much is spread by word of mouth.

These are the new "rites of passage" in the digital age.

I suggest that black parents, especially, stay up-to-date and expose your child to as much as possible.
Too often, our children are late to the game, late to get the memo and then are made to feel inadequate or unprepared because of it.

It carries on through college.

This is not an opinion, btw.

Saving for later reading.
Like when my child goes to swim practice this evening. 😊
So I've read this and as a self-described feminist, you may be surprised to hear that I'm siding with the guy on this. I'm annoyed by her.
In my opinion, the REAL issue is her insecurity about coming into a relationship financially insecure, not the prenup. She's a mess.
