@miriamforsterwriter: Black women aren’t “saving us.” They are saving themselves and we benifit from that. And if that is ththe case, imagine what could happen in this country if more of us prioritized protecting them. #whitenessvalues #antiracism #whiteness

I literally vote for me, my friends, family, and community. I never think of the needs of any other community. Especially since other communities would happily let me die.

Mo :

You know what Miriam, you’re absolutely right. Lovely first introduction.

mmob :

I LOVE HOW YOU EXPLAINED THIS..

Consciousman7 :

The moral of the story is: listen to black women! They are the light of the universe!!!

Dee :

Thank you for stating that we are saving ourselves because the “thank you’s” are very disrespectful!

Liz215 :

So we’re basically “Black Canaries”

Amli, your everyday light work :

Canaries..you basically saying we the canaries in the coal mine. We are.

Trinity :

We’re never wrong. Just early

Katrina M | How She Got Free :

I think this is why seeing also ingenious women in office alongside Black women has made me emotional. When as a country we tend to the “lowest” of the social hierarchy everyone benefits.

EnaturallyMe :

Very informative and true. thanks for bringing awareness to this.

Elle Belle 🇺🇸 :

Correct. Please stand with us, for us and by us as we run for office and push policies that are our just due after centuries. We’ve cheered everyone on as they got specifics. We still cheered when we received what we fought for and it benefited everyone else more than us. Please fight for and with us as we push to get specifics.

It's both. We are always early and know to save ourselves but we also know that in saving ourselves... we save everyone. Black People vibration hits different

Verses&Tales :

Jewel :

Ma'am!!!!! The last minute of this video is the most important!!!

Inspect With Me :

"Obligation without reciprocity" is motherhood. We are the mother and we love children.

Unfriendly Black Hottie :
