Not only are black women facing systematic oppression. Black women also face oppression from their own men despite always being in black men's corner and trying. If black men get shot down she shows up more to March. If black men are imprisoned she most often stays and waits. That's why so many of them have hiv now dealing with you.

What many of you will ignore, lie and deflect from is many black men are cowards not all,but many. And rather build up and protect our community the easiest thing is to project your insecurities and failures on to black women and children. And when they complain you want to make threads like this trying to come up with an Deflection for them calling you out on your shyt. That's not manly. Black men abandoning their homes and thus their community has been the biggest plague on their community. Because yall believe deflecting your communities on the women is masculine.

70% of your children don't know you.
The 30% of children who do know their fathers, not to long ago you had threads
For a black woman between 19-44 you are the 3rd leading cause of death for her.. Right behind cancer and unintentional injuries

I could go for days on how black men are statistically a danger and threat to black women. But in yalls mind that's misandristic because some of yall hate that it's on black men that the community is shambles and you can't black the women for it.

Threads like this are proof. Instead of making threads trying to get a basis and start building as men. Yall looking to write deflections and think pieces on shyt that can easily be proven against you. If this is the best we can do as men and yall don't see nothing wrong with this . Then I can't blame black women for going their own way.

Respect to the brehs doing their part but shyt it ain't enough of us.

I dapped this because it’s true in spite of being painful to read.

However, it’s very one-sided. Black men don’t exist in a vacuum. If they have been negatively impacted by white supremacy, so have black women. The problem is neither gender wants to take any accountability for their behaviors.

There are many black women physically abusing black men because they think that dumb shyt is cute. They watch VH1 and run up in men’s faces violently and when they get knocked the hell out, all of a sudden it’s “he not supposed to hit women”.

There are black chicks out there making babies who are HORRIBLE mothers, who weaponize reproduction to trap men financially and emotionally. When this doesn’t work, they take it out on the children or coddle the boys as surrogate husbands until they are useless, while behaving toxic ass fukk towards their daughters, if they not simply neglecting them altogether.

Not to mention the women allowing strangers around their kids, who go on to molest and rape many of our babies, which has far reaching effects on people growing up in our community. I actually agree wholeheartedly that black women aren’t protected. We never have been. But neither are black men.

And many don’t protect themselves or their men. They don’t avoid toxic ass situations or abusive men. Many run to these types which endangers our men with the expectation that they need to risk their lives to defend a woman who shouldn’t have been doing that dumb shyt anyway.

The problem I have ALWAYS had with both black men and Black women are the layers and layers of lies and excuses each respective group gives themselves to avoid accountability. Which is crazy because we already have enough genuine inequities facing us. Black men think we need patriarchy which is dumb. The world has already had that and it’s already completely fukked up. Black women wanna run shyt, but the cardinal rule of leadership is that you have to master yourself before you can master anybody else, so they need to have a seat too.

Currently we don’t have a patriarchy or a matriarchy. We have anarchy. The entire world is rejecting the old ways that didn’t work. I don’t know how people don’t see this shyt. To move forward as a people we will need to craft something wholly different, egalitarian, healthy and respectful to both genders in our race instead of trying to control each other to avoid addressing white supremacy.

Because that’s what’s really happening. Black men and black women want to enslave one another to assert a sense of control and autonomy taken from us by whites. Many don’t have healthy frameworks for relating to one another outside of white cultural pathologies imposed on us or straight chaos.

My wife is a Black woman, my mom is a Black woman, my grandmothers were Black women, and I have aunts that are Black women.

Whenever I see a Black person period woman or not I try to look out for them when I have the opportunity to.

My thought is there aren't that many Black people, especially women, in the professional environment I'm in so when I can help you damn well better know I'm going to try to do it. With Black women in my personal circle it is already a given.

Sometimes Black people period, women and men do not always stick together as much as we could some let their personal ambition, the status quo, wanting to be the token, and not wanting to rock the boat get in the way of solidarity.

I think some of this is overstated though because most men would kill you behind their wife/girlfriend, daughter, mother, sister, grandmother, and even some aunts.

Yeah that poster lost me. She even said African men in their own sovereign nation, with their own standing army don't have the capacity to protect the women in their tribes and country let alone themselves I don't get that point. Because a lot of them do exactly that in their communties.

Lmao. I can just as easily find tweets about nikkas being ain't shyt, bullet bags, cops ain't killing you nikkas fast enough type social media post but those comments don't reflect most black american women.

That’s not what I said at all.. why do you always claim things without asking for clarification? I get you’re still salty over the transgender thread but you should be mature enough to address me directly.

It’s pretty childish that you dap and talk about me with other posters and never directly address me.


Grow up dude. You’re very passive aggressive

Domestic violence, the black women that go missing, police brutality, the care black women receive in the medical field including the amount of black women dying in
Child birth at a disproportionate rate to other races of women (I‘ve spoken about this multiple times on here).

That’s just off the top of my head.

I agree but how are black men supposed to protect black women from medical malpractice or political malfeasance? Another thing why are black women not divesting from white structural & institutional racism but instead assimilating and adapting to the dominant society? How come black women marching for their brothers, nephew’s, husband's etc are used as a talking point like black men are not marching for Brianna Taylor? or Sandra Bland?

 

[Chrishaune]

I complimented this black woman on looking good last night. Nice slim chocolate pretty thing. She acted so surprised and shocked, smiling. Are black women not getting complimented like that out here? Has HOH culture taken over black men's minds and distorted reality?

 

[ba'al]

That’s not what I said at all.

Black women are unprotected... But black Men can’t protect black women because unfortunately, black men can’t protect themselves..

..

Again.. you were referencing African nations..
How about this article?
France still robbing its 'former' African colonies | Pambazuka News


Does that help?

A lot of our people will be cut off, come to terms with it.

Not saying black men are supposed to save black women in
healthcare but if we had more access to resources and had more control of our own community then we wouldn’t have to rely on other communities for our prosperity or care.

There are a lot of black men marching for black women dealing with police brutality, but again we have to rely on others to make any difference because we don’t control anything, unfortunately, even within our own communities.

And I get what you’re saying about the expectation and that’s where they drop the ball... How is it expected for men who are fighting to keep themselves alive to protect anyone else? Unfortunately, regardless of what black men do, for some women until you show you can be like
nonblack men in regards to their power then you won’t get that respect from those women.

 

[Elim Garak]

I don't buy it if we are speaking in general women need to choose better if I'm being honest plenty of black men out here that have and will do the right thing.

 

[LordLyons]

The idea that men are supposed to protect all women is traditionalism/patriarchy which the feminist ideology is at complete odds against. This is really a situation of women wanting their cake and eating it too.

Ain't no got damn body protecting men and that's the reason black men make up 80 percent of homicide victims and half of the domestic violence victims and nobody talks about it at all.

You can't spend 60 years begging for equal treatment and then pick and choose when you want traditionalism/patriarchy while retaining your credibility.

Who are the people denying black folks resources or access to these resources? How come “these people” are not the target of the same vicious vitriol that is spewed against black men?
why are black political movement's buttressed by dead black male bodies but black men are vilified by these same political organizations? Wouldn't protection from black men be categorized as a patriarchal?
