If anything Black America is a Matriarchy. My whole live i've hearing people talking about growing up in single mother households. Which is it. Are we absent or is it a Patriarchy? Doesn't seem like it can be both

I am not quite sure what that means, because all Black people I have ever known regardless of where they are from have had great reverence for their mothers. That is the one thing as well as religion that is a constant for all of us.
As far as African Americans go we have to keep in mind that during slavery mothers and children were quite often separated and sold to different plantations and in some cases the children were still only babies when their mothers would be sold off. So what we think is matriarchy may be rooted in something much more sinister and destructive than even the bullshyt that happened in the 1960s. The irony is that the destructiveness that occurred to Black families in America during slavery goes back to the original destructive White patriarchy of White people and the even more destructive Black patriarchy in Africa where they had no trouble destroying Black families by kidnapping and selling their own folks to White men.

The AA community has long been a matriarchy with no man in the home since the 70s. What's dangerous is these liberal parrots that push feminist rhetoric on other black women, helping to destroy the black family.
What's really destructive to the black community is so many of these black boys not having a role model called a father and these black girls not having a protector called daddy because these pawns of Gloria Steinem have been pushing their demonic rhetoric on the community. These same women will be crying about black men not choosing them and protecting them all the while screaming they don't need a man.

That is not true. There was a Black patriarchy in this country until the late 1960s. Black families and Black society used to be headed by Black men and it had been that way since slavery. This crap you are looking at now days is due to White feminism and government policies in the 1960s that financially incentivized lower income Black women and Black men to create and rear children without being married. Once the stigma was removed from unwed women having babies, which coincided with the "Great Migration" to cities then that is when the breakdown of the Black patriarchy occurred and family structure collapsed. Before then it used to be rare for Black women to head families.
If you don't believe what I am stating then find some older African Americans preferably in their 60s and 70s and you are going to get a history lesson. If you stop and think about it lower income African American families were part of a great failed government experiment. Now days all that people see is the carnage. They don't actually remember the situation before said carnage.
no
- it’s never been a Black patriarchy in America
- just because there was a father in the house back in those days doesn’t mean that was a patriarch
- the definition of a patriarchy is where the man is in the house, he is head of the household, he makes all the decisions within his house/community/environment /government
that never applied to us

I made a post about this sister the other day.. About how the same black women who vehemently fought against her 30 years ago, agree with her today.
She's very unappreciated..

Even most Coli brehettes called her a "pick me" for simply stating the truth.

You guys are really uninformed not only about Black patriarchy, but about Black history too. Black men headed families, built the HBCUs and communities, because they were the elected officials during reconstruction and afterwards. Think about it for a minute. Black men were given the right to vote in 1870 as part of the 15th amendment. Black women did not gain the right to vote until 1920 as part of the overall women suffrage act which was the 19th Amendment, but even after that most Black women did not have the right to vote until 1965. So who do you think were the elected officials in the Black community from the "Reconstruction Era" until the 1960s?

So yes African Americans did have a Black patriarchy in this country. Yes their patriarchy propelled the Black community forward. Yes White people worked to destroy that patriarchy as a way to stop Black advancement. Yes a lot of Black women (not all) went along with that destruction and now everybody is complaining about something they all worked to topple.
