Recently stumbled across this guy on social media. But his thoughts are top notch the way he’s able to absorb the information and spit out the rhetoric at a way that’s very cohesive, funny, and nuanced is something else. He’s cooking to say the least

He's right and wrong. Bob Johnson said this years ago. You try to put wholesome positive, black products on and there is no audience. So it's not that it's being suppressed , it's not valued by the viewers the consumers.

Multiple variables to the equations no doubt.

I mean, I don't want to shyt to be on TV just because it's wholesome and positive

I want it to be entertaining

And I feel like in terms of tv the pendulum has swung the other way, bourgeois Black ppl have too much representation now

What exactly is that representation? I rarely turn on my tv. And from what I gather and I could be completely wrong, and I also don't think it's truly representative of the black bourgeois but the networks that greenlight shows they basically repurpose white shows with black casts and they're pretty identical minus the white and black casts. That's just how they make and air shows and how it's always been done. I.e all in the family and the Jefferson's, full house and family matters, friends and living single.

I see commercials of the basketball wives or rich beautiful black people well dressed, eating well, living a nice life like rich white people yet throwing bottles, fighting, pulling wigs, cheating...because that's what sells drama. It's the same for real housewives or Mormon wives or whatever the white equivalent is.

Too much talking

Who’s cutting onions?

Black Socialist/Anti-Capitalist?
Relationship stuff?

So on 4 videos, he's doing the FD Signifier stuff way better than FD, but that whole community has way too much baggage.

Offering modes of analysis is only useful up to a point.

i enjoyed his videos but man those captions are done horribly lol

FD has a feminist / ultra-liberal slant which covers his otherwise good ideas in a thin veneer of bullshyt.

Underneath this guy's emotional analysis/whole self analysis there's probably some bell hooks in there. If you've been around this stuff, read the same books, run in the same circles - feminist/"ultra-liberal" stuff is not far away.

According to them, and no I'm not gonna pull out any citations, lot of the problem with "patriarchy" is the man's (the male's) conception of himself, and his rejection of emotions and feelings, for reasoning and logic. (emotions/feelings are coded as good and positive, and female, without having to say it explicitly)

With the emotional self/psychology angle - he's pushing what that crazy black psychologist was pushing. That Black men need therapy. (probably true, but because everyone needs "therapy" - and that's the result of modernity, technology, and the march of time)

He's just better at saying what he wants to say without needlessly infuriating his audience.

And its not that these things are bad - they're just often weaponized against Black Men who don't hold the reins of power.

To add insult to injury, Black men are often chastised and punished for adopting more "progressive" mindsets.

I'm old. I've heard these guys before. He's just one IG/TikTok away (I've listened to 5 vids so far) from taking something directly from "Corn Bread Tube"s playbook.

He does offer solutions in a few of his videos. His take on the American hegemony is probably the best I seen so far

go through his stuff he actually acknowledges the black American community is basically matriarchal And that black men aren’t allowed to thrive under WS the way they should to create a solid black family. He does called out feminists for creating more harm than good

FD has a feminist / ultra-liberal slant which covers his otherwise good ideas in a thin veneer of bullshyt.

check again bro unless I missed something he’s not a feminist/ultra liberal in the slightest


Edit: I’m not a commie or anything but why are some of you brehs pro-capitalism? I understand the need for a free market but the oligarchal nature of the US doesn’t even allow a “free market” to thrive everything in essence is a monopoly.
