Is Feminism Really for the Black Woman?

So this topic just keeps appearing in front of me. As a pro black woman most people think that it isn't appropriate for me to be a feminist also. This pisses me the fuk off because if I can remember correctly black women have been at the bottom of the totem pole for a long time as far back as slavery so why wouldn't a black woman be a feminist or a woman that is pro black. Since slavery a black woman has had to fight her way to being respected as a woman and just as a human being. Black woman were raped by white and black men. Not to mention when women were allowed to enter the work force black women were doing the same jobs as white women but getting paid less and black women have been receiving a negative back lash about their sexuality and reproductive choices for years. Black women continue to receive disrespect from white society and her black counter parts on a daily basis publicly, without shame, so why is it inappropriate for me to be pro black and a feminist? Imma need you people who think this to get your lifeeee! I do realize that the original feminist movement was not the black woman's movement but perhaps that has been a part of the problem all along. People need to realize being a feminist is not about hating men or saying that the woman race is better than the male but about having equality and control over your choices and your life!#Blackfeminist#PissedtheFukOff
