These conversations always turn into rituals of stupidity;
- you see black women trying to reframe the situation with emotional appeals and insults trying to portray black men as villains for not having grand scale sympathy for this woman and her ilk after the way she spoke about black men. They always lean on that
"I can pull stats and the number of black women killed by black men is way higher than the number killed by white men". No shyt. The same way that the number of white women killed by white men is way higher than the number of white women killed by black men. You're statistically more likely to be killed by those you're in community with than otherwise. It's basic numbers + opportunity. The fact that they even think that's a talking point shows poor understanding of entry level concepts
- then you see some brehs and women caping and admonishing black men with "
y'all proving her right". We are proving her right by not having sympathy after her beliefs, disposition to the world and hatred she spewed partially played a role in the situation(s) she found herself in and eventually led to her demise? What? These jedi mind tricks to get black men to be passive and accepting of her type of behavior are ridiculous
- you also have head-in-the-sand brehs talkinbout "
Not FBA/Not my people/doesn't happen in FBA spaces". I can't believe how idiotic and removed from reality this notion is. These divestors and adjacent women are in community with each other, online and otherwise. They don't see themselves as "
XYZ and others" hence the way they argue and platform their hatred for black men being ubiquitous. Conversations around ethnicity in these contexts have - in my opinion - regressed because instead of addressing detrimental behavior on a macro scale - it's now coming down to some brehs posting easily verifiable false things to make themselves feel better in these diaspora wars. Meanwhile the divestor rhetoric, channels and platforms keep growing
- I also don't like how some of them SYSBM approach these things. PAWGING and PAAGING isn't the solution to all evils on earth, and they often present it as such. The more unhinged ones even use 4-chan type insults such as; "sheboons" and the like. It's pretty easy to run into black folks online using white supremacist language, memes and tropes to address other black folks
sad state of affairs all around
