Overloving is what’s destroying black men.

This 100%.

Type A men are still eating out here but slacker-type guys are way behind. Tony and AJ are great examples.

Tony came up at a time where a guy like him (white, male, nothing special) could fall into a nice setup with money, cars, heauxs...everything. AJ is obviously softer than his pops but he's essentially the same kind of guy...except he can't just "fall into" some shyt like Pops.

We love our sons and train our daughters....every culture struggles with this except for Asian and African immigrants. They expect boys to get straight A's, do extracurricular activities, help clean up the crib and they better not so much as utter a word of back-talk. My parents raised me like that and I'm gonna raise my kids the same way. Gotta raise the bar with our sons. Not just about "being a man" but actually aiming high in school and not being a knucklehead for no reason.

I'm not sure Tony Soprano came up at a time where a guy like him could fall into a nice setup with money, cars, and heauxs. One of the things he mentions several times is that because he was an Italian joining and being in the mafia was the only way he could have access to money and wealth and other avenues and pathways were closed off to him because he was an Italian.

Great breakdown. Tony came up in the 70s under dikkey Moltisanti and under his own father who was a made guy. Tony got to witness hella men with no particular skills on the fringes of society, just criminal their way into the American dream. Tony couldn’t even make it as a varsity athlete. And ended up with a networth in the 7 figures with a large suburban home. AJ can’t even dream of doing what Tony did in the modern age.

Negativity (Kayfabe)

Since 2017, suicide has been the second leading cause of death in those 10-19 years old. Rates of suicide among Black youth have risen faster than in any other racial/ethnic group in the past two decades, with suicide rates in Black males 10-19 years-old increasing by 60%. Early adolescent Black youth are twice as likely to die by suicide as compared to their white counterparts. Understanding and changing this trajectory will require transdisciplinary efforts including those of educators, child welfare, legal and juvenile justice systems, health care professionals including child and adolescent psychiatrists, and the community at large.

I try to keep it respectful, but, I'm sick of these spiteful, evil, bytch feminist making shyt up on Twitter.
his idea of black boys being coddled needs to stop, especially when they're treated pretty damn poorly by society and often family.
Boy, let's not get started who is the biggest domestic abuser in our community when you add children and parents and other family in the home.

Boy, it's gon' be some spinning like Sprewell rims.

Black Self-Sufficiency

This is BS. Black boys experience IPV death rates higher than any other children. Black children also experience extremely high abuse rates only beat out by American Indian/Alaska Natives.

You are far less likely to end up homeless,not end up in jail when you arent coddled. But you just listed a small minority of about 10 percent of black men at best. Are we going to ignore the overwhelming majority of black men not in prison or gangs? Who are often directionless,no 5 year plan. Making babies knowing they mama will help out. Cant keep a job because they arent used to being held accountable for shyt. So they end up going off on somebody when they cant have their way. Overall laziness or refusal to lead,because they are used to women managing the adult aspects of life. Lets not jump to extremes and talk about the minority in prisons or graveyards. Im talking about the overall childlike tendancies and victimization we see everyday from the common black man. And we are talking about adults and teens. You may or may not still be coddled into adult hood. You are likely not to be as a black man. And thats when the reality check is a shock to the system. White supremacy dont love you like mama do/did. That reality check is going to hit you harder than other races of men. And your more likely to end up in prison doing a dumb scheme,or the other typical crimes in our communities out of desperation.
What world do yall live in that males are "coddled" by their families (generally speaking):gucci:? The majority of homeless people are men (BM with one of the highest rates), the majority of people in prison are men (BM with the highest rate), the majority of victims of violent crime are men (BM being the highest rate), the majority of high school dropouts are male (BM having the highest rates).

Where do yall live at that males; especially black males are coddled on a macro level?
