Lsa is really exposing black females in this ongoing gender war. Black females been showing they ass for a minute now. They aren't thinking about the end game at all.
I went to see it last night, it was a great film. The only thing i didn't really vibe with was how white women were portrayed as bystanders of the antebellum south. That they didn't have any skin in the game and had their own nefarious shit they were up to.
Besides some scenes at the end. I didn't like how they made white women out to be "nice" to black people. That was complete bullshit.
Cosign
While white women suffered under the weight of the same patriarchal authority to which slaves were subjected
Just think of how the son inherited his father's property and the plantation after his death...though his mother was still alive and well
White women still had the freedom to vent their fury, albeit on the only people to whom they were superior... Blk ppl
And even with BoN it bothered me a lot seeing white woman seperate young Nat from his mother...only so she could teach him how to parrot the bible and parade him around like a well behaved dog
But yea I think 12 years a slave did a better job showing how white women we rent just bystanders but complicit participants
How did white women "suffer?" You gotta explain that. @desertrain10
Obviously their suffering does not compare to what we have faced...but white women had to answer to white patriarchal authority as slaves during that time
They couldn't vote, because they were thought to be lesser than
They had very little economic prospects
Made less than men
No legal recourse if their husbands were physically abusive
White women didn't vote because white women were not expected to be soldiers. The right to vote is traditionally tied to the obligation of national service. In fact women still aren't expected to fight tho men are. Males when registering to vote are supposed to have signed up for selective service as well.
White women were not slaves, they were a protected class. Let's break down what a slave is. A slave is a human being whose labor is forcibly extracted for little or no compensation for the benefit of a dominant house or society.
White women economic prospects are tied to the economic prospects of their men, their husbands and their sons. They are the beneficiaries of white capitalism without having to put in the work. The reason being is because white women are the sole facilitators of white patriarchy.
For all the shit you throw at the concept of patriarchy, the society with the strongest patriarchy will have the most protected women. It has been established by white society that if you even breathe at a white girl in the wrong way the full force of white patriarchy will come to seek recompense.
In the Black community, that is sans patriarchy you can do damn near anything you want to a Black female: beat them, rape them, abuse them, exploit them, discard them when you done with them. That has also been long established by white patriarchy.
Birth of a Nation established this paradigm. Nat picks up a toy that a white woman's child dropped, handed it back to the mother and is beaten and bout to be charged with assault by a white man. Nat's wife is gang raped and beaten by white men, just cuz. and they don;t even call that shit rape just par for the course. Aint no callin the sheriff. The sheriff is nothing but an authorized agent of a patriarchy selected to keep the "peace" the dominant society has established.
No patriarchy=no law. No law means you don't have the security that you want as a woman. Black women are neither going to establish order or enforce law, for an example I direct you to your nearest Black community.
