The Link Between the Baby Formula Shortage, Roe v. Wade and Buffalo Shooting
Spoiler alert: It’s Black women
Black women, are you ok?
I know that I’m a Canadian, but I’m a Black woman before my citizenship and I stand in solidarity.
Baby formula shortage, Roe v Wade potentially being overturned and a White supremacist attack in Buffalo. (Oh yes — we’re still in a pandemic, where apparently one million Americans have died). What a time to be alive in the US of A.
It is not lost on me that the common thread between these phenomena are Black women. Black American women.
Black women (wet nurses and mammies) were the “baby formula” of slave holding families.
Lack of access to safe abortion hurts women of colour and Black women the most.
Mostly Black women died in the grocery store terrorist attack in Buffalo. Black women are typically the ones who do the grocery shopping for their families.
Some of them were breast cancer survivors… imagine having beaten breast cancer, only to be felled by the bullet of White supremacy?
Dr. Fauci has just said that Black Americans will be particularly hit hard by the next COVID wave. People are often wont to blame our size, shape and diets…
