What do you think about racism between black men and women? Do black women have it rougher than black men?

Beause they are first a woman and then they a black which is like a double whammie

Like during elementary school i was in a school mostly all black and a couple of spanish ppl and the BLACK ppl would tease me because of how dark I was. Not only outside races discriminate against black ppl but our own ppl. There is a pecking order in the black community in which if ur light ur better, dark u not. If u see models or actresses they say oh shes the first black woman to win an oscar but shes light skinned too and half white but i never saw a lot of dark skinned ppl make it big. well i hope i answered ur question. srry about that. i got a lil carried away

Peace out

This is a very excellent and valid point you presented. I agree with you wholeheartedly and some of the answers others posted in responses. I think black women have been taught to stick with black men and stay loyal to them even when some of them could care less about black women and how they are being portrayed. But I think black women have a choice now, black women are becoming more successful, finishing school at a higher rate, and making their mark known in the American society despite the negative and hurtful stereotypes and images that is heap upon us countless time. Plus, I' am starting to see more and more black women dating interracially now. So, I say to black women stay strong, keep your head up and forget those who think you are less than worthy and desirable because you don't fit some standard of beauty because you are beautiful and if black men or anybody can't see it than screw them.

Yes black women have it rougher because due to sexism and race. We are bashed and discriminated against by society for being females, and we are also bashed for being black at equal measures. That's ok though, I still play my cards to win.

Excellent point! Black women love there men! And in loving there there man they want to support them, boost there ego and defend them to the end.....basically we got there back. But most black men or men in generally are visual creatures; But I really want to answer your question. Black woman have choices, just like all other woman. Our problem (I'm a black woman) is very deep rooted, but it's that we don't know our self worth. In life and in men. I have 2 daughters 14 & 10, who are bi-cultural black and pureto rican, who are light skin. I have been training them! That's right training them from the time they walk that a woman is not define by her cleveage, her booty, her complexion, heels....I broke it down bit by bit as they grow. My oldest daughter is begining to show signs of her worth at age 14. So do black woman have it rougher...........nope, we got choices, it's the choices and decisions we make that make us think and feel this way. Black men got there own issues,,,,I won't go there, but for us.........dark skin mama don't worry about the light skin girls they gotta find there worth too. The video girls, well for some it's to late they have solitified there worth as booty jigglin, hoes.

Never feel like your alone, that's the wrong thought right there. Say, I just want more for myself, I'm worth more, and shall be. And there's nothing wrong with that. No your worth, and love yourself.

There are issues that are pertinent, relevant and distinct to women and men, and in particular, Black women and men. I certainly don't receive any "extras" or "passes" as a Black woman professionally and/or academically.

After slavery there was a saying, "The only two free people are a white man and a black woman."

Makes you think, doesn't it? There is an increase of white men and black women couples lately.

I learned this in sociology.

Women are seen as inferior to men because they are seen as caregivers and childbearing, and the men have a more "important" job of bringin home the bread.

And the black race is seen as inferior b/c people are stupid and close minded.

So to be a black woman is sorta a double disadvantage unfortunately. Until people start seein people as people it wont end.

When you look at it in a different angle, it is a gift.

Like the old saying goes: ' what don't kill you only makes you stronger'.

We have endured a lot and because of that it has made us strong along with being beautiful. While most people crack under the least bit of worries, we adapt.

I am successful as a result of standing out and make my own way.

- I feel the same way; I have seen more than once black men say on the internet that its getting harder to stay loyal to black women since they have seen white women with black women's bodies

Now that's a slap in the face; to me it seems like some are only "loyal" to us because of our bodies

i agree. sad but true. for example, my boyfriends neice is 8 years old. she is a beautiful girl and has these awesome cat eyes, but very dark skinned. she likes to go through my make up and put it on. she was doing this and one of her uncles (not my boyfriend) says "stop that, you aren't no halle berry." it really offended me, i wanted to go slap him in the face.

Edit: I realize this was mostly a diss at me, but it doesn't matter. I chose to be in a relationship with someone outside my race, and so was prepared that not everyone would accept this. My boyfriends' neice did not choose her skin color.

what the heck is a regular black woman.. and why do some darker skinned girls feel like they are the "regular" black women? This offends me some--- like I am not black enough because I am not darker..... whatever.... I know this is not what you were looking for, but damn I am tired of hearing about so called "regular" black girls ...
