It’s partially white ignorance, most whites didn’t see the shit Black women go through; the voices of white women were elevated because of their whiteness so their own concerns came first in the public discourse; Black women were rationally reluctant to raise their own voices in the face of white terrorism;

ok, this explains it

Blackness has been coded as masculine and male by white society to better superexploit their physical labor

...and i'm back to being utterly baffled because i'm not understanding the rationale behind people labeling blackness as "masculine" and whiteness as "feminine". makes zero sense to me to genderize(?) a whole race/group of people like they're a completely different alien species.

increasing the population of Black labor was no longer seen as desirable by white society after the end of slavery

now this gets me wondering, did white people back then try to control the reproductive rights of black people (or even kill black children or force black couples into aborting their children) to achieve this goal?

white women believed they could easier acheive their own liberation by focusing only on themselves and excluding Black women.

...yeah, i'm calling cap on their belief. i don't think white guys could care less if you included black women or not. i don't think they'd still be willing to give you rights or treat you as every other human being.
