Feminists on the coli

[NobodyReally]

I'm away for a day, and we've reduced the discussion about black feminism to a network tv show?

I read this thread and I have came to the conclusion that a lot of these dudes suffer from what I call "white daddy issues". They associate black women rights to be themselves and speak for themselves as given privilege by white supremacy, hence the constant associating the two.

They either want the same type of privileges that they assume black women have or be in the position of power to choose and give these privileges. Kinda like brother and sister fighting over who's the favorite child and white supremacy being the parent.

But the issue is Black feminists know that theyre not the favorite and thats not what theyre fighting for. Theyre fighting just to recognized as human beings and not a tool for everyone to use. Its the men with this battery in their backs from internet gurus like tariq that result to show compassion and try to understand how these women feel. They wanna associate the bad ones just because it justify their own rage when they really need to do is ask questions and listen.

who is not recognizing black women as human beings, and what are black feminist currently doing to reclaim their humanity.

I hang out in The Film Room. I teach and discuss black education, black feminism, black politics and general politics in my daily life, I really don't want to do it in my free time. I don't even know why I'm up in this thread. I don't think anyone's real life actions should be gauged by where they post. Especially since this site is a form of a escapism for many.

If BW cared about Black History or Black Current Events, it would have manifested itself in many ways.

Nice try, but you're not gonna try and guilt the females here. My passion for black issues manifests in real life, where it counts, not on some message board.

ok

 

[Yup]

I see how @Yup had nothing more to say once I proved how black men are actively working to preserve our history.

Black men are preserving history and black women aren't is that what you are telling me?

 

[Just like bruddas]

Society isn't. Most of them feel that their just tools to be used to further someone else's goals. From in the work place to the streets to their own homes. I don't know if I told this story but on of my sistas quit her job at a school board because her boss (white female) used her insight for improving urban schools and instead of making her in charge of the project she gave it to some white dude that doesn't even have kids. Her efforts and work earned that man a raise and he doesn't know shyt about urban youth.

As for what theyre doing, the letting their voice be heard via internet and meetings. Networking and creating infrastructures in which they themselves have can benefit from. She left that job and started her own tutoring and business course for young black men and women out of college and that need the work experience just to get their resumes notice. She got this idea and some of the fund from a sistas group in Florida I believe.

I bash black women, are you serious?

You make light of black women's insecurities (you ran that pony tail joke into the ground). shyt is not cool esp when you know it's the result of white supremacy, and for you to make light of that as a black male is pretty fukked up.
