    This made me cry. Black women are so powerful, so precious, so on point all the time.

    "Equality does not come one gender at a time."
    I had to pause and rewind on this one. *snaps*
    Beautiful words, ladies. Thanks for putting a much-needed smile on my face today.

    You see, I'm on twitter and it's my favorite social media, and this video speaks to me because I actually do see pure black men bash black women.....when their just as dark or DARKER than what they say they "don't want", and automatically I unfollow them or the FOOLISH person that retweeted them. If they bash black women, what they need to do is write it down, fold it up and give it to their MOTHERS!!!😡

    • @kawaiisis86
      @kawaiisis86 9 років тому +3

      +chris latin They didn't mean genuinely nice guys. They were referring to the trope NiceGuyTM. There's a lot of stuff about it online.

    If it was possible to like a video multiple times, this would have 1,000 like from me. Legit. As a young black woman, I wholeheartedly agree with every single word that came out of their mouths. All I gotta say to my girls is keep reppin.

    Kai and Miriam move me in such a way-I'm not good enough with words (let alone anywhere close to their level) to articulate it. First time I heard this I cried, and many times after that. Black Womyn Power. I hear you. I love you. I want more than anything to amplify your truth. I will-or at least I promise to be committed to unlearning anything white supremacist society has tried to teach me. I was able to hear the inherent lies and hypocrisy and I thank the universe for every experience that allowed that. Once more; I hear you and I love you.
