Something a lot of white folk don't realize happens to Black people a lot:
When there is a competition between a Black person and a white person for a coveted prize, if the white person wins, they're celebrated. If the Black person wins... they're asked to share the prize with the white person that came in second place.😮
This happens to Black women more often than Black men.
