This is just such heartfelt and wrenching response to the misguided Jezebel piece on Sara Baartman: Does every marginalized group have their struggles? Absolutely. Does every human have personal struggles that are not necessarily erased by systemic privilege? Absolutely. But time and again it’s black women upon whose backs the internet steps for clickbait and punchlines, and the individual harm of what seems like “business as usual” is real and significant. It always seems like there’s someone passing the buck when these things happen; someone saying that they didn’t think of the potential harm to black women or they didn’t mean anything by it. Please mean something when you write about us. Listen to us when we speak about our experiences. Words about us matter because we matter. Do better. Link to the Jezebel piece in the first comment.
