Freestyle 6: Black Women v. The World

So, if it's white people’s responsibility to dismantle systemic racism. Then, it must be men’s responsibility to dismantle the patriarchy. The problem is that there is a large population of men that do not believe that patriarchy exists or see how they contribute to it. In many cases, black men are fully committed to supporting the patriarchy because of sexism, misogynoir, religious beliefs, and/or racism. With this in mind, I would like to dedicate this episode to black women. Simply existing, as a black woman, is exhausting.

What many fail to realize is that what is killing men and destroying their families is that many of us have an ideology that is steeped in a poisonous patriarchal system. Learning how to listen to women is the antidote for the poison in our bloodstream, and centering women is how we bring balance back to our communities. If the world does not like black women, they need to say it with their chest.
