This was a very thoughtful response, and a glaring blind spot in my analysis. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention, because you are absolutely correct. The purpose of this piece was to spur conversation, that would lead to us collectively doing the work to repair/mend the gap between Black women and Black Men, and to create a space for healing to occur. Just want you to know that I hear what you are saying, and I appreciate you for saying it. Peace.
