Napoleon said this in reference to Haiti. He later regretted his decision, calling it “a great folly” & the worst mistake he made in administration

Black people have the smallest gap between their men/women’s interpersonal homicides of all races with BM being more often victims than Hispanic women for example but somehow there’s this narrative that BM are uniquely engaging in femicide, why that is?

This is your brain on misogyny: eternally struggling with devastatingly simple distinctions. For the 1000th time: death via INTIMATE PARTNER homicide is not the same as “interpersonal homicides.”Black Men do NOT DIE PREDOMINANTLY FROM INTIMATE PARTER HOMICIDE AND SEX-RELATED MURDERS. BLACK WOMEN DO. THAT’s WHY YOU NEED A TERM TO CAPTURE THE SPECIFICITY OT THE VIOLENCE BC IT HAS A DISTINCT TIME, PLACE, & MANNER FOR ALL RACES OF WOMEN. It’s not difficult, feminists aren’t incorrect, you’re just not smart. Black men do not predominantly die of gender-BASED homicide. Women do. “Femicide is a different phenomenon. The term may strike some as feminist linguistic overreach, but femicide is as apt as homicide. First, as the above makes clear, only 23 percent of those murdered are women and girls, and they are not killed in the same contexts that men are, nor are they killed by the same people. They represent 63.1 percent of those killed by intimates and 81.7 percent of those killed in sex-related murders. They are, therefore, killed in the course of things that have come to define the private sphere in many cultures, not least of all our own. They are also likely to be killed during an argument and not during the commission of a felony. Women are killed in private, without witness or only witnessed by politically voiceless minors; they are killed in the home, that space long considered a man’s castle. Their deaths are unlikely to register as threats to the public order. Their deaths are unlikely to register at all.” - Shatema Threadcraft, North American Necropolitics & Gender: On BlackLivesMatter & Black Femicide

I just saw a video of a promoter being harassed at work… white people are weird fr

So, in my blck wmns studies class, this comes up a lot. A lot of blck wmn liberation movements eps in the U.S. historically have always been shunned by all mn , including blck mn because they see us as a threat to their manhood and patriarchal leadership.

Black people do see Black women’s liberation as a white woman’s thing because how dare Black women decide to choose themselves over Black men even though we are constantly being sacrificed.
