Black women are not here to save you. We are busy trying to save ourselves.
No, we don& #39;t need a Black woman VP or President. That& #39;s not automatically the answer.

Why? Black women are not all the same (not interchangeable). Also, it& #39;s not the job of Black women to perpetually fix the problems white ppl create.
Every Black woman you meet isn& #39;t Ella Baker or Shirley Chisholm. Not every Black woman has radical politics and a desire to lead movements or groups of people toward liberation.

Sometimes Black women are just chillin. Being Black. They aren& #39;t there to save you.
Let Black women be. That& #39;s it. That& #39;s the tweet.
At some point, y& #39;all will realize that it& #39;s also misogynoir to constantly burden Black women with everyone& #39;s social and political problems. It isn& #39;t a compliment. It& #39;s both racist and uniquely sexist.
