White people run America so in terms of allocation of resources, it goes like this-White men, white women, Black men and then Black women. This is why shifting has become coined an African American female experience because in order to make it in America one has to shift to a world that is dominated by white men. White women have the fact that they are white to keep them ahead of the game and the Black man has the fact that this world is still run by men so they have to face racism, no doubt but Black women have to also encounter sexism as well. But its clear from majority of your responses that you have no idea what it is like to live in America when you are Black.
