We get that. What you don't understand though is that it's become socially acceptable to make klan like statements about black men and boys from all groups. Twitter and tiktok aren't "just the internet". Twitter alone is a major media outlet now, and it's full of all out racism against black men and boys how from all groups. I remeber a twitter thread about a black boy getting in a fight with some white kid. The comments under that tweet were reminiscent of rhe kkk (people were saying that the little kid should get the death penalty) .That's a societal issue across cultures and races, it's not just a black boy/men thing. Boys get coddled, girls get pushed out and expected to be independent/get married/etc. You see it in Hispanic culture, Italian culture (The Sopranos put it on full display with AJ and Meadow...), etc.
The problem is that the economy has shifted so much that these men can't find the success they once did. For decades a man could skip college, fukk up and fall into a nice factory/blue collar job. With enough money to get married, have kids, buy a home, and send the kids to college. Those jobs are largely gone or restricted today, and men haven't really reacted. Instead men are skipping college, getting low paying jobs, and living just enough to take care of themselves with no shot at buying a house or raising a family. This is BAD.

I agree with you and have said this before, most recently yesterday in the thread about black parenting. But to go back to my point, this discourse isn't new. Go listen to Hispanic women talk about Hispanic men (specifically Mexican men). It's the same bullshyt discourse on everyone's algorithm, only difference is we see the black shyt because we're black. But my girl is Mexican and trust me...I see that shyt in real life and online.We get that. What you don't understand though is that it's become socially acceptable to make klan like statements about blakc men from all groups. Twitter and tiktok aren't "just the internet". Twitter alone is a major media outlet now, and it's full of all out racism againg black men how from all groups.
