So I was stumbling around the blogisphere when I visited a blog called Where The Hell am I?, she posted about visiting a blog called Rachel's Tavern and a comment war that went on there. So naturally I jaunted over to Rachel's.
Over at Rachel's I read a very short and somewhat interesting post about how women who happen to be Asian are categorized. I went on to read the comments, that's when things really got interesting.
Although the title of the post would suggest otherwise, the comments became a debate about the treatment of Black women.
Here is an excerpt of one of the comments;

Here is an excerpt of one of the comments;
"Black women have been objectified to being body parts:
Having men of all races look at you as if you are a walking life support system for a vagina, buttocks, legs. Having your beautiful gravity-defying hair degraded. Having your beautiful skin color denigrated as less than because it is not a pale, ghastly white.
Which is why so many Asian, Native American, Latino, white and black men run to the defense, protection, and adoration of white women, while they are stomping, stampeding and grinding black women into the ground to get to those white women. Running past, knocking out of the way black women they know nothing about because those same men have not the guts to get to know the black women."
