Society is in a weird place right now where it feels like smart people are forced to accept the bad with the good, in terms of change. Radical black liberation is happening in the tiniest of increments, getting a lot of pushback, but other things get received with open arms or are becoming more mainstream. I retain the right to think how I want in the privacy of my own mind, but I'm careful with what I admit to believing. It's a tricky place to be. And sidenote, personally I would never equate the dynamics between black men and black women to white supremacy, and I hate when people do that.
