When Will We Realize That Everything Is Linked?



Will black folk EVER get tired of being sexually objectified?
Black man, you are down with the whole SnowBunny role many white women seek to play in your lives? It's Ok that she wants sex with you because through her filter (which is in fact a white supremacist filter) you are the stereotypical summation of your penis?
Black women, you are down with the WhiteMaleSavior role many white men seek to play in your lives? It's Ok to believe that none of that harbors racial stereotype which involve both yourselves And the black man?

It seems hard as HELL for us to genuinely comprehend that that kind of one-dimensional "desirability" IS steeped in stereotype, was in fact born of white supremacy. Black people seem unwilling to acknowledge that isolated incidents aren't actually all that isolated; everything is linked!

For example, it is that same objectification dynamic which shows up in sexual stereotyping that also enables white people in the medical profession to neglect the appropriate treatment of physical pain in black patients as they do in white patients-- because they believe that black people feel less pain than non-black people.
[And this to me is also reminiscent of how whites brand farm animals they own, just as they once branded slaves they owned!]

Objectifying us makes it easier and even logical to them to regard us as less than human; and regarding us as less than human relegates them justified in oppressing us!

Make no mistake Kindreds, white people can want our bodies, can want to sex our bodies, and still embrace their white privilege by objectifying us because we are black!
And black people 'loving' them despite that is problematic af!
