The Silence is Deafening

This single line comes to my mind everytime the hypocritical side of any sized group of black people shows its head. That and they tend to get upset about all the wrong things.

Those of you who think this is hypocritical are confusing the issues and are assuming an either/or just because there wasn't a rally about the Isiah Thomas incident.

EVERY group is more defensive when outsiders victimize them. Except for groups that have privilege that safety nets against victimization.

But when there is a common denominator such as race, the uncommon factor such as gender will stick out as in this Thomas incident. So it would make more sense to me for people to be arguing that women, in general, or specifically black women are too silent on this issue. Not that black people are. Black people don't think sexual harassment and gender-based discrimination are any more acceptable than any other group of people does, seeing as though sexism and patriarchy span across racial categories.
