straight black men are being silenced

[satam55]

Who's fault is that?! Straight BM have NOTHING to do with BLM. They don't run or control it.

Y'all act like black women don't care about black men. That's clearly not the case. Black women are our biggest ally.

And these nikkas don't wanna be called the black misc.

Yeah let's be dumb like white folks in the alt right

They aren't dumb. They are silently building an army. Keep underestimating them though. Last time we underestimated them Charleston happened. Also they get press and you know how the saying goes, all press is good press in some cases. The alt right don't give a fukk if they get good or bad press, end of the day they are happy they are getting press. They got millions of views last year and are getting their point across to many.

Disgusting how many don't take them seriously.

This has been going on since 1866 breh

Black ppl were aware of the fact then, they weren't talking about dumb shyt like toxic masculinity.

No we don't need an alt black movement. If anything that already exists and they are called Hoteps. People speak about the average blue collar black man all the time. How many times have you seen the Black Lives Matter movement supporters frontline an unarmed black woman killed by police, even though the movement was started by 3 black women? It was the death of black men that has kick started this current social movement going on in the US. Of the 26 reported trans killed in 2017, all but like 3 were black. Of course they're gonna start saying something. The response shouldn't be an "alt black" movement being swept among men.

BLM piggy backed off the work of the Ferguson activist, which were made up of by and large straight black men.



See further explanation here.

Activist who in many cases gave their lives to the movement. Again, all of which were straight black men, including the brother in the video above.

Of the 20 unarmed black people killed by police in 2017 19 were black males, only 1 was a black female(%5).

By appropriating the struggle and work of straight AA men and falsely accrediting it to others, you just prove the OPs point that straight AA male voices are being silenced, particularly in our own community, in favor of non-AA blacks, women, and lgbt people.

we need an alt black movement.

Was with you up until here. That's ridiculous.

It's really an internal battle for who should be at the forefront of the black community. We need to just take back what's ours and be the leaders we should be cause the game is bullshyt. You see how white feminism and all that bullshyt went to the back when it came time to vote for a progressive female or a racist misogynist? They know what's up.

Yeah fine just don't call it alt black

Nah most of us weren't aware of anything back then which is why so many of us didn't even wanna leave our masters

That’s disingenuous because black men were able to provide in some capacity and provide for their families. The late 1960s is when things began to change.

black women and blacks gays always complain about being silenced, but all of the major so called black online media cater to them and there are thousands of articles speaking for them and bashing the straight black male. However I never see articles rebutting any these points. I never hear anyone speaking for the average blue collar black male just trying to survive. Any straight black male who tries to speak from their point of view is shouted down and insulted. we need an alt black movement. there is more popular support for black trannies and they are less than 1% of the black population.

Already is a movement it's called Straight Black Pride. Link below if you or anyone is curious or wants to be educated on the SBP.

I do not want to wake up to angry quotes regarding what was linked here. Simply do your research and make your own conclusion.

That's not true at all which is why black women have always had to work and bring in a second income

Being a straight Black Man in 2018 is harder than being a gay one #fact

Some but a sizable population didn’t have their women working. Especially with 5+ children.

Alright I'll definitely agree the leadership portion of BLM has clearly been cooped by the LGBT situation, immigrants, etc, which is why I've never aligned myself with them personally or joined them on my campus. But that's always been an for black movements. Fred Hamptons Rainbow Coalition was also cooped. But I'll also recodnize to some extent black organizations also have historically extended their reach past black issues. The SNCC denounced Israel and their treatment of Palestinians, Dr. King spoke on the Vietnam war, etc.

BLM is just the most prominent slogan attached to a struggle that has been going on for centuries. To deny women's role in caring about the movement like they have only want to do it for selfish reasons is what I can't accept. This semester we had an expose on victims of police brutality in Baltimore, where affected people told their stories. All of the women who came to speak to us were women. There is an event called West Wednesdays where every Wednesday, the wife of a man killed stands in West Baltimore protesting the death and shoddy trial of the officer. It wasn't his brother or uncle who decided to start this but his wife. Because she cares just like so many other black women do.

Because we're grown men. Sticks and stones and all that.
