The value of men and women (no matter their race/ethnicity) are judged differently, however, it is two sides of the same coin. Men are judged by their ability to earn (money = power). Women are judged by our physical beauty.

Black men are judged harshly if they are not capable of being impressive earners, no matter the reason, as compared to the standard bearer of American society; bm are disrespected because lack of earnings equals lack of power.

And Black women are judged equally as harshly as compared to the generally accepted American standard of beauty; the farther away a bw is from that standard the less she is respected/regarded in society. The indignities suffered by both bm and bw tend to stem from these roots.
