Me: pitched a story about the VP debate and Black women being talked over by white men
Editor: I think this is an all women thing not just Black women
Also editor: I actually thought Pence was very respectful of her. I don’t think he interrupted her because she’s a Black woman. He was being a good debater, they’re supposed to interrupt each other.
...what a complicated way of saying “I don’t see it as a race problem”
How do I make it painstakingly clear
~Without cussing~
That Black women experiences don’t have to be (and mostly aren’t) applicable to all women
