Dude is obviously "off" if you watch his other vids

Ex.

He keeps repeating things and feels the need to tell us that "a car was passing" or "that's my phone ringing" then he says "I really liked it her" I see one of the titles of his vids say that he has a learning disability so

Black men not leading our women and communities is deeper than most of you think.

As men we're suppose to build a family and create a situation for our offspring to survive and better. We can't create a family without our women. They've turned our women into men. We're like mane-less Lions with no pride (family of Lions) to protect and provide for, no one that respects and admire our courage and heart. We're just roaming around the jungle with no real purpose, seeking out temporary happiness thru frivolous sex and drugs. This severe emptiness most of us have in our lives leads to depression and frustration which often leads to detrimental behavior which leads to our imprisonment or death.



Our situation was designed and is going as planned.

What happened guys? I thought black men ruled the earth? I thought chicks only cared about swag and dikk? Are you guys saying that things like education, economic value, and status are a higher priority to women than dikk and swag. And yall still find a way to blame black women for your downfall, when that is the only group that has our backs. Maybe if you didn't look at every women as a piece of ass, they would be more receptive to you. Women are not dumb. They know when a guy is genuine and when he just wants to fukk. When every women is a bytch/thot to you why would you expect these same bytches/thots to hold you down. Black men are their own worst enemy. Stop being afraid to be different. I got ridiculed for blacks more than other group for listening to stuff like Prince in high school. Black men box themselves in faster than any white man. shyt wont change until black men stop trying to live up to this thug image created in the media. Look at it from another races point of view. Why would you want to be associated with someone who scorns education, being themselves, positivity, ect. The media plays apart, but that is the mindset of many black men.

lol man you give these girls way too much credit. stfu please.

The system is set up for the black man to fail and many do

This.

I'll tell you what...for a while, posting on the coli...I felt like an outsider looking in.

Y'all got these fancy jobs, getting mad money, f*cking hoes, traveling, living the life...and literally I am doing NONE of that.

Many black men like myself try and many fail. As if only some of us are allowed the enjoy this society while the rest DON'T.

The American dream doesn't even exist for black people in America. No matter how hard some of us can work, the majority of us can only get a glimpse...very few will get the full view.

I don't blame brothers for wanting to give up...shyt's rough out here.

I didn't rank Black women low. Their behavior has ranked them low in the eyes of the majority of men.

Don't blame me. I didn't create the perception.

Black women and cacs are the ones who promote the idea that dark skin on men is more masculine, animalistic, etc. We don't promote that stereotype as Black men. We're just trying to do the best we can as men. Black women objectify Black men as much as cacs.

Look at Idris Elba. Do Black women describe him in terms absent of objectification w.r.t. his skin? His intelligence, personality, facial features? Nope. It's usually some objectification shyt, like he's some big, Black buck from the slavery days.

No Homo but Idris Elba seems to be the whole package in the eyes of Black women. Good looks, british accent, razor sharp and a snappy dresser to boot.

Look at this cat brehs I think he has Aspergers

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Can't even clown dude in the video.

 

[feelosofer]

Look at this cat brehs I think he has Aspergers

Having seen a couple of this kids videos, dude definitely has some major issues, he needs some severe therapy.

I asked you? You don't think black women police eachother

Nope. It's usually a circle jerk (or clit rub) which turns to bashing some Black man.

For example:

Black woman gets knocked up by known deadbeat. Instead of her friends holding her accountable, they start with the "nikkas ain't shyt" garbage.

Black woman contracts HIV from a nikka known to slang dikk around town. Instead of owning up to her mistake, she blames the man.

The list can go on an on. Black men know when we aren't shyt. We own up to our fukkery and admit we're fukkups. Black women have a hard time doing likewise.

I'll get to this video and add more of my thoughts later, but I've always taken quite the preoccupation towards topic involving black men, black women, and depression cause I truly believe our community is disproportionately affected by it, but it's not supposed to be discussed as if we're "above" it...like we're supposed to be above certain emotions...even though our existence in this country is the result of 400 years of slavery and 150 years of disenfranchisement.

I even notice it here...black people that are depressed are clowned and ridiculed for it...as if we can't display any weakness from external peers perspective of us being strong in the midst of all we've faced and still face in America. But I'd rather they discuss and open up here as supposed to a predominantly white depression forum online.

I was depressed and posted on one years back...besides feeling like I was the only black male poster on that board, I was surrounded by people that would be crying their hearts out and loathing themselves on one hand while displaying racist/superiority sentiments on the other. It was hypocritical and eventually stopped posting on it. For a group of people who's problems are mainly stemming from racism and racial discrimination, not having an outlet to truly express themselves can add to those problems.

It's like we're supposed to be tough as nails, fly, swaggy, ballin, drowning in hoes, and if we aren't, we're seen by our peers as failures...even though this society is set up for us to fail.

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

Just because you are optimistic, doesn't mean there aren't nikkas out here who feel lost. Depression is a big problem in the black community that gets swept under the rug. I feel what you are saying though.

1000000000000000000000000000% I just got through explaining it...it gets me heated to no end!

Things could be a LOT better, but I'm not going to get mopey about it

That's not going to accomplish anything
