The extremely reductive mentality of Black people who say stuff like, “I had bad experiences with [Black men/Black women], so I’m gonna specifically seek out [white men/white women] because [Black men/Black women] suck!” reminds me of Black conservatives thinking shit like, “Democrats are terrible for Black people, so that must mean Republicans are great for us!”
Some of us Black people love false dichotomies, don’t we?
I think it is because people often want easy, binary answers to complex systemic problems, even though it is not that simple.














Celebrating the accomplishments of African women, both those on the continent and in the diaspora, this International Women’s Day. May revolutionary, decolonial, and womanist praxis ensure them dignity, peace, and liberation.
