how to be Nola Darling (deux): if black women are unhealthy (rant)
then we need to think about why that is (by we I mean black women and sometimes black men who have checked their misogyny at the fucking door)..instead of blaming black women for their condition.
black women’s negative self image plays a large part in their health issues. But thats not something…
Did this nigga just blame racism for bad health?! You are the definition of a bitch ass nigga. How are you gonna blame racism for bad health?
Wooooooow.
FYI racism isn’t the cause of everything stop using it as an excuse. It makes it harder for us to be heard when we really are talking about effects of legitimate rascism. It’s not a crutch. Stop using it as one.
Racism is not the reason black women aren’t always the healthiest. Kinda fuck logic is this.
yeah bb, you really need to read up on health disparities and racism. racism and health actually has EVERYTHING to do with each other.
