Are there really more conscious sisters than brothers?

[Micky Mikey]

I've been talking to some pretty insightful sisters lately. One calls herself a "feminist" but identifies with our struggle more than she realizes. Nonetheless me and her have some of the same grievances when it comes to whats going on within the black community. And she isn't the only one who expresses these opinions and thinks on a deeper level. Almost all of them expressed resentment for black men for our failure to step to the plate as men and control our communities.

Rarely (other than on the internet) do I find brothers whom are willing to express themselves and how they feel about the ongoing demise of the black community. If they do it's usually in a jokingly kind of way. And any kind of discussion usually ends in buffoonery. Now, I'm not dissing my fellow brothers because I know this doesn't apply to all of us. The internet validates this.

But why does it seem like sisters are more conscious than brothers? Or at least open to having a serious dialogue about issues. is it fear? Ignorance? And by conscious I don't mean the hotep kufi wearing negroes.

Thats usually just the female equivalent of smart-dumb nikkas.

Theyre usually just reformed heauxs who go natural and start listening to Erykah Badu and think theyre somehow enlightened..

that's usually the hotep kinds. I'm talking about educated sisters who actually have something going for themselves. But I agree that we have plenty of the reformed afro-centric nuts too

Honestly I think a lot of people are concious to some degree

a lot of smart-dumb brothers and sisters out there

I can go to any hood and find tons of them, some are actually smart tho.

I noticed whenever I go to Pan Africanist/pro black themed forums or threads it's usually more sisters than brothers whom make whom have some of the most militant positoins. Also a lot more sisters around my way are rocking natural hairstyles(like fros,locks,etc)...personally I think too many blackmen are busy trying to be thugs or white which overshadowns the conscious bm where as there has been a noticeable but minor upstick of sisters trying to reconnect with their roots.

Black women are not the ones talking about the issues. The black men that do talk about the issues get called c00ns because they call it black women.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

Alot of people profess consciousness but live unconsciously.

 

[Spoonz]

Neither are conscious. Black men only think they are when they're really not and black women are naive and confused.

how come you never shut the fukk up?

I feel it has to do with natural female behavior.

From my understanding, it's more natural for a female living in a dangerous projects to look towards a better life than a male who is faced with having to be the "bread winner" and other ignorant folks wanting to do harm upon them, etc.

A lot of our black men are caught up in the macho act because hey, a man must know how to protect himself, I can't blame them entirely. Different things are expected of both sexes.

If you're talmbout history than no..most men write history cuz we're militant, not in a black militant sense but militant as in warfare..almost all the history books we're written by men..women are spiritualists..more than men..that's why most of the psychics are women, cuz most men don't have psychic abilities..that's why all the oracles of ancient times have been women..
