I'm for womens rights and opportunities and i'm no Feminist. I am just another person who wants justice in the world. Why should I label myself as a separate entity?

The only difference is that the person is black and not a women.
And why would you do that exactly when I already explained to you that each example has different merit?
Black Males & Females were taken as slaves from their countries, put into "Black Communities" and forced to live in attrocious surroundings. All within our "civilised" Western society.

Yes if there were no problems with Black people anymore, then I would say that those campaigners are not needed anymore either. I would say exactly what you accuse me of. If those campaigners (after the basic rights of "humans" were fixed), still wanted more, then these would be seen as unnecessary demands. What's left is Human rights, not Black rights.

Feminism doesn't do anything for those people. Various human rights organisations help those people.
You are human, not a Feminist. If you choose to be a feminist, you are just wanting to be part of a glorified wives club.
The rest of us can help with in-justice without needing to be stuck with a certain label.
