      Edit: some things men find that come with masculinity is so weird..the things men want from women. Me having 4c hair, caramel skin, and getting in my feelings when im attacked has nothing to do with a mans masculinity. Im just a 19 year old shy introverted young woman. Once this boy punch me because i didnt respond to him calling my name. I got angry. He called me an angry black woman and talked about black girl attitudes...why? Am i supposed to let you punch me ? Run over me....treat me like some doormat? Black women cant feel what people cant help but feel. They want me to sit there and take everything. Black men don't want to keep they masculinity....its nothing to do with being manly. A woman can't take away a mans masculinity because a woman doesn't have that power. Only a man can choose his strengths. Black men[not all] just want hand outs. Man in general want easy. Want a girl to stfu and obey. Im just as much as a girl as anyone else and just as much as a human being. So excuse me for defending myself...im the only protection i have.

    This poem was the best thing that I’ve ever heard. I was in my bedroom smiling, crying and snapping while I got ready for work and played this. There is nothing more beautiful than taking the oppression thrown at you and turning it into empowerment for yourself and the masses. Black women are and have always been goddesses; it’s sad we live in a society that chooses to be ignorant of that, out of fear of all the magic beauty, power a black woman is made of. Thank you so much for using your voice, standing in your power and speaking your truth. You aren’t here for my appreciation or admiration, but I do appreciate and admire you ❤️

    I hate poetry but this in a exception. every thing she said is so true and I'm not saying this just because I am a black woman. people need to listen to this because this is nothing but the truth. And some people may not like what she said but the thing is everyday people have to suffer from things she has mentioned in this poem and honestly it has to stop.

    So many things to be angry about, and understandably so.
    Sadly, however, it's become apparent that intersectionality's the first step to guaranteeing one will always have at least one thing to stay angry about. This is for multiple reasons, among which is the act of being used as a pawn in an agenda that utilizes the status to borrow time and distract the majority from the fact that the establishment intends to never, ever address at least one or two of those attributes; they'll instead happily sacrifice it/them to pay attention to the other, more palatable ones.
    And because we, as individuals, are so incredibly divided, we become preoccupied with the supposed progress being made within smaller, more trivial areas of focus. Therefore, in its purest form, the concept only compounds pain instead of taking the edge off. And it was never promoted as a viable option for anyone's benefit except those orchastrating everything in the first place, their grimy fingers resting atop the chest pieces and making them move at will.
    That aside, I'm amazed by Porsha's stage presence, though. You can really feel the power and strength of her emotions when she speaks. It often hits you like a blow to the gut.
