Black women & people’s struggles and history CANNOT be compared to any other group

article image placeholderUploaded by @Andrea_Speaks
It's not the same to say that white women have the same struggle. Are you kidding me? When a white woman can start crying and have a black woman arrested or have a black woman fired because she's being aggressive and she's an angry black female. Are you kidding me right now? No, it's not the same. The struggles are not the same. The things that we go through are not the same

But as soon as something happens to somebody in the lgbt community or whatever it's called, the Alphabet soup, as I call it, as soon as somebody do something to one of them, it's automatically a hate crime. It make it make sense. So how is the struggle the same? It ain't. And how dare you try to make it be? And I think people think it's the

And so we were talking about it because I was just like, I'm always curious, and I really am. I really am always curious. When black men say that they have dated white women pretty much exclusively. I'm always curious as to why, what's the reason behind it? And so he was giving me all these different reasons or whatever. None of them were valid in my eyes. None of them were valid. But I mean, they were his reasons

And so he was saying because of that, we should be aligned together. Boy boo. Boy boo and boo boo. Okay, so, yes, I just wanted to clarify that because I don't ever want to misquote nobody. So I went back and looked, and that's what he said. And it's still hogwash and poppy cock. Okay, but I just wanted to clarify that that's what was said. And I don't even mind if he comes on here

Hi, Andrea. All right, so I have some time now. I did make a reply a few minutes ago. Not sure if you heard it, but I deleted it. And I deleted it because I had a chance to go and find the post that you were referring to by Rooster and kind of listening to his reply to you

I understand where you're coming from, but I don't agree. We're not all at the bottom. Yes, black people at the bottom, but that community has way more rights and way more power than we ever had. I'm sure you know how long it took to get that versus how long it took for them to get what they have. For years. White people and black people couldn't be married for years. It was against the law for years

And here's the thing that I have a question I have about when it comes to heterosexuality, homosexuality. This is a question I have. I'm heterosexual. Always been, never struggled with lesbianism, never been sexually attracted to a woman. Right. Even having been unfortunately molested between the ages of five and seven, it still didn't turn me against men. Okay, yet. And still because of that, I'm on the right side of the moral debate. I'm heterosexual

I was commenting on both posts, not realizing that both were somehow connected until now. This is definitely a hot topic. Definitely a hot topic. I didn't even get to the other part about black women and white women, but just talking about our supposed implied support for a community just because we're black, that's the thing. Like, no, everybody's individual. We support who we support or don't support

But I hate when people try to downplay things that I may go through and try to say, oh, well, these people are going through something similar, so you shouldn't feel what. No, that doesn't have anything to do with the other one. Doesn't have anything to do with the other. So that's that. As far as plums swells, I may go and listen and I may not

They shouldn't be compared. You don't have to compare somebody. I don't need to tell somebody that I was molested as a child in order to feel empathy for what they're going through. I can feel empathy because I'm an empathetic person. That's who I am. I'm an empathetic person. So I feel empathy because I'm an empathetic person. If a person is not empathetic, it doesn't matter how many scenarios you give them

As in the guy who was telling me, trying to explain to me why he dated white women. Like I told him, I don't care why you dated them. That's your business. That's your personal business. Me, it's my preference not to date outside my race. And because I'm black and mexican I could date two races. But I don't when I say that I'm meaning black

That's all I'm going to say, is, because I've seen other countries, and they don't get to have conversations like this, and they don't have apps like this. They just take what they're given by the government and by the state, and they accept it. And none of us want to go back to that. Nobody on swell, on making swells can deal with that life. And, Andrea, I'm sorry

You need the good news, because that's the only thing that's going to pull you through the society that we live in now, a society where people are compromising children, they're sending children to change their genders. We've reached critical point now. It's no longer about sexual preference. It's been manipulated by somebody out there, some entity, some evil force

And let me offer an apology to you and say that I could have messaged you privately and said, hey, what is going on? Why are you saying this? And tried to get an understanding. However, as I said in a previous post, at the time that I was having that conversation with you, I was also having another conversation, right? Not online, but in real life

But at the same time, I see the damage of sin, and I do my best to not sin anymore. And I think now, just at the point in our culture, like, moving forward, any swells that you see me make about religion, Christ, the end times especially, just know that I see it as. That this is our time in history, that we need to unite as Christians

But on my TikTok page, I have more where I'm just talking to people about God and just trying to not only introduce Christ to people or reintroduce Christ to people, but also people who have. People who are saying that they are in Christ and not admitting that they have struggles like the rest of us do. Because I admit I have struggles, and I admit that there are things that I don't cross every t and I don't dot every I when it comes to my walk with God

In fact, as you could see, the way that society is going, it's getting harder and harder, even to the fact where they're, like, telling us to be quiet, telling us not to say the things that you and I want to say, because I think we need to unite as a church and then as a country, we need to go back to being a christian nation, because it's starting to become a 50 50 split here between Christians and atheists and Muslims
