No comparison, no she don’t. ✨❤️

Dear Black Women

Untill the energy and support we give to Black men (those we are related to, and otherwise) is privately/ publically reciprocated, I would encourage us to take a back seat. I appreciate that it is in our nature to go out of our way to love, protect and defend our men, (often to our own detriment) but we need to stop putting their needs and wants before our own!

I want to remind you of the racial abuse Black women like Diane Abbott endures on a regular basis. Do Black men collectively run to her defence, support her when she is being trolled, or send her love when she is being hated on by racist bandits? Hmm, no they don’t.

Furthermore, when you ask them why they don’t, many Black men will say “I don’t like politics” or “I’m not interested in supporting the Labour party” oh let’s not forget their favourite excuse “ I don’t like her wig”. Well newsflash, the vast majority of us don’t like football/support the England football team, nor do we find the black footballers hairstyles aesthetically appealing. Yet, we still come out in solidarity of these men whenever they’re being attacked.

Ladies, we need to wise up, as we’re shown on a daily basis that our experiences, feelings and thoughts are not as important or valid in this white supremacist society, and worse still, in our own community. So, let’s proritise ourselves because no one else will. #UncomfortableTruth #DefendBlackWomanhood ❤️‍♀️

Finally getting around to uploading this sketch. I began working on it during Inktober but procrastinated HARD. I got a little lazy by the time I did the lettering, and my page started to wrinkle (which, let’s face it, graph paper wasn’t meant for drawings like this) BUT I decided it was time to share it. I may eventually go back to this and scan/ink it, or something. I just don’t want to work on it anymore.
