You're talking to me about interracial relationship views when the vast majority of black men and women marry within race. I don't care what black men or women allegedly think about white people romantically. It's irrelevant when 80% of all black marriages are in race. And I'm saying this as a breh who is dating (and will likely marry) my current girl who isn't black (she's Hispanic/Mexican).
Nor do I care about what social media thinks about Steve Harvey's bullshyt views. I have no issue clowning his nonsense.
I agree emphasis was taken off boys but at the same time, boys have been failing for a long time across races even when they were the focus. White dudes are struggling right now too, in different ways obviously. I get that neglect plays a role but the utter lack of accountability when discussing men is a huge problem. A lot of men, white and black, are bombing out HS and not even trying to go to college. Well over a decade after the collapse of US manufacturing, men haven't adjusted. This is BAD. Black men specifically have ridiculously low employment and education levels. Complaining about "buttas" when we ourselves aren't even helping ourselves is crazy. And this goes back to marriage. These dudes cannot take care of themselves, how the fukk are they gonna take care of a family, wife, children etc.
Women aren't going to college and advancing solely because of emphasis on girls. Is it because they are more mature and emotionally adjusted than men? Perhaps. But the lack of competition I'm seeing from men right now is insane. And no this has nothing to do with men being emasculated or whatever right wing talking point. We're being lapped and you can't possibly blame feminists or buttas for all of it. Men often gain value via their job or role. Post-collapse of manufacturing and all the good jobs that didn't require a degree, many men have simply given up or settled for mediocrity. As long as they can pay rent, bills, and afford their videogames they're good. This is...not good.
Let me say it's ironic that you're dating a Mexican girl in the states and I date Afro Colombians in Colombia yet we're arguing separate points.
Let's take dating in Latin America in general, I'm sure you're aware that someone told you're girl something negative about Black People yet she still dated you.
In outside of america or the west in general Black people don't see themselves as Black as the same way a ADOS does the myriad of reasons why ADOS seem to desipise each other yet still marry each other at a 80% rate doesn't compute in counties that are Black run and or have a lot of poverty.
It's kinda rare to see Black couples in Latin America but there's a lot of unmixed Black people in Colombia. It's because there's places where there's nothing but Black people so that's who they procreate with.
What do you have against Steve Harvey's dating advice?
Black Men haven't regressed in society Black Men have always been at the bottom of american society that hasn't charged, I'm sure you beleive that racism has a lot to do with keeping Black Men at the bottom. George Floyd's Great Grandfather had like 500 acres of Land in Alabama that potential generational wealth was staright up taken from him by white people.
Black Men haven't changed Black women have. Again 70 years ago the idea that Black Men were radically different from Black women wasn't around. That got started by the first wave of Black feminists aka the grandmothers of the buttasphere. The show
Good Times was about a Black
Family James was dead broke but he was
Married If you rebooted the series now Florida would be his Baby Momma.
As far as education again it's been proven that Boys and girls learn differently girls learn more through route repetition of facts Boys learn by doing and testing. Girls are more collaborative Boys are more Competition oriented. To this day all Men including Black Men choose the STEM field way more than women do to the point that there are several programs specifically tied to getting girls interested in STEM. NASA just annoced a program to get Junior high school aged Black girls into the Areospace industry.
Like I said I was an ät risk"kid people personally intervened to keep me in school. I remember trying to get my GED and someone telling me that I should go to an alternative High School. When I asked why should I go back to High school when I could get my GED in less than six months the dude said that having a diiploma means more than having a GED. I got my Diploma in less than a year and a half, Turns out the school specifically designed for droup outs was year round and intense once they got you committed to school they really tried to teach us stuff.
I could go on and on about all the different resources they had for Black Boys but lets say they were a lot. I can say that story about "Hamsterdam" In
The Wire kinda did happen in DC, They didn't legalize drugs but I can say that the Police were convinced by an Organization of Black Men to agree to not investgate murders in a drug war if the dudes sqaushed the beef.
The bottom line is if Black women wanted to marry Black Men they could thy certianly let them shoot up he club and If the Black community was so concerned about helping Black Men and Boys they'd simply keep doing what they did in the past. Black Men didn't charge Black women did.
