The black community has it's share of unique problems due to our unique story in this country. We were brought here as chattel on the false basis that we were subhuman who didn't deserve fair treatment, and most of our identity in this country as a group were given to us by people who was proven to hold us in contempt. Those beliefs manifest themselves in a lot of ways in modern Black american culture, in both sexes, in all regions of the country, regardless of skin tone or even class. Yes. Blacks need to get some things in order, but it's a general problem, not a problem that can be blamed on a specific black sub-group.
That's why Tommy Sotomayor (and his followers) are fundamentally wrong; not because he's completely making things up out of the sky, but because he uses the truth (the fact that we as African-Americans have cultural issues we legitimately need to address) as a tool to forward his myopic, 'gender war' agenda. The problems black women have and the problems black men have are all connected...they should be addressed as a unit, not in pieces.
It's like when Bob Costas said that guns are glorified in Hip-Hop culture. Technically, the statement itself is true. But it's dishonest because it pretends that Hip-Hop culture is the only thing there is to talk about. Let's talk about guns being glorified in America first, not Hip-Hop culture which is simply a byproduct of America. When you single out a sub-group, you create a destructive, divisive discussion instead of a productive one.
I'm sure Tommy thinks he's helping black women with his channel. I happen to disagree, but let's say he is. Let's say that all black women listen to him and they, due to Tommy's words, stop doing the things Tommy tells them to stop doing and black women collectively get their shyt together. Fine. Now...what about the men? And after that, what about the lack of educations in schools, the prison industrial complex, the rampant colorism, the lack of economic independence, our bad eating habits, stereotype-laden entertainment, lack of unity/trade in the worldwide African diaspora and lord knows what else? Do we address the rest of those problems in pieces, too? Or do we address it all, learn the source of it all, and then cut the head off the monster?
We seem to have chosen 'pieces'. And our competition love it that way.
