This is false.
I don't know what kind of uncle tom ass nikkaz you're around, but every time I've worked somewhere with another brother and we were outnumbered, most of the time we kinda linked up a little bit and if they were older, they generally would school me on what was going on at the job.
1. Greeting women you don't know is seen as creepy now.
2. What???
3. What man doesn't do this for their sisters, nieces, cousins, IF they ask for it. You can't force women to take your advice.
4. Who doesn't celebrate Aretha Franklin, Michelle Obama, Rosa Parks, etc. . .???
5. LMAO, they definitely don't want you to be masculine because they see masculinity as toxic.
1. Its how you greet women that may be the problem. I am not saying invade space and fox grin while whispering "hey lil mama"....just a Cordial "hello" or "am I in your way" or "how ya doin" etc...The key is to not expect a return greeting, just shift your attention back to your phone/task. 50/50 on after a pause and realize that they didn't speak and it's rude...they respond back or initiate conversation. Just saying hello shouldn't be creepy my guy.
2. People you work with are people you know. Inspect your familiarity with black women in the workplace. Some you speak to and some you ignore, the ignored are vulnerable...because we often place value on people by what they can do for us, or what they look like. Noticing that older black women/minority women are often ignored puts them in a position to be undervalued. I see those undervalued women are treated and talked to/about in a work space...it's fukked up. Non-black folks will really take advantage and see me/black man participating and/or ignoring the shyt.
3. Too many men don't do this with their proximal women in a way that's tangible. We comment on other men's bad behavior while leaving ourselves out of the conversation. You are the respected variable here, the rest is theoretical. I speak in such a manner that describes MY bad mentality, history, actions, and inclinations that I realize were fukked up or manipulative. They look at me with love and familiarity and recognize that men are complex too...and bad shyt comes in good packages sometimes. An important aspect to "teaching."
4. Great.
5. *Some* See masculinity as toxic. *Most prefer masculinity. * The reason for the disparity is simple...*Some men are wearing masculinity wrong. Bad masculinity is ugly, overbearing, and ego driven....of course they hate that shyt...I hate that shyt, as a person navigating it; has caused me "A black man" considerable damage and danger.
