This chick is saying that The My Brother's Keeper program promotes toxic masculinity. This is a feminist hit piece but since the target is Obama y'all are in here clapping for it. Disgusting.

Black men are the scapegoats of everything wrong in the world and the narrative is the same across racial, gender, and political lines. That's why I do what's in my and men who think and look like me's best interest, fukk what anyone else thinks about it.

Very sad how Feminism has hijacked Black male plight and turn it on its head. Obama comes from a different era where men didn't necessarily need to flaunt their prowess..."Strong and silent"...

But anything in the realm of positivity is seen as "Scolding and talking down to"....

Is it talking down to? Or is speaking matter of fact? So we can teach our children to stand up for themselves if someone puts their hands on them, but we can't speak to them too harshly about self improvement and maturity for fear of hurting their feelings and irreparably damaging their self esteem? "Fukk that nikka up if he puts his hands on you!" is acceptable child rearing, but don't tell him to pull his pants up as that will have a detrimental affect on his future? That's ridiculous. I don't want to hear about how it contributes to a narrative of troublesome Black boys created by the dominant white society either. I'll tell you why. So we don't want to be straight up with our Black boys because it supposedly mimics white society, but at the same time we want our boys to be successful within this same society? That's contradictory. Here's the thing, some of these pundits and so called experts like the genius who wrote the article in the OP get tunnel vision on the issues. They fail to see that what we're up against is multi-faceted and needs addressed from a variety of angles. White Supremacy has over a half a century foundation and as such will not be toppled overnight. Reparations, economic inequality, true justice reform, etc., while warranting discussion and progress, are not things that are going to happen overnight. That said why can we not also address issues that are within our immediate means to tackle and see results sooner than we will with the other issues I mentioned?

Something else too, it would be irresponsible for any Black male mentor with any sense of awareness, responsibility, and urgency to soften his verbiage on issues affecting Black boys considering what they're up against. It doesn't surprise me that the writer of this piece is a woman. I fully and completely expect that kind of soft touch approach from a woman and mama boys and men lacking fathers and male figures in general. There's a reason why we call it "pu$$y footing" around, which is how she wants grown Black men to address young Black boys. Half the problem with young Black men is the lack of mature father figure. So here comes some mature Black men stepping up to the plate to fill a void and of course she takes issue with it. But again it's not surprising. Personal responsibility and accountability is foreign to a lot of these women both Black and white. Which is why so many young men today both Black and white teeter totter. It's why a Jordan Peterson can come along and make a fortune off a talking point as mundane as clean up your room. That's the society we're living in.

People forgot how everybody was all for being docile to the cops,and having conversations with black boys about how we respond to the police. Is that speaking down to black boys or just being real about the situation,you can't reason with these crackas and just have elude the traps set for you. The fact he eluded to the traps set by white supremacy was okay. Also after she lost me with this comment

"I cannot imagine being a “boy” in that room, who feels like a girl or who is a girl, or dreams of eight men twerking around him, or wants to twerk, or is curious about both boys and girls.

Boys are probably stressed by the idea that they should already be confident about their sexuality as teenagers, or that a healthy sexuality exists between only a man and a “strong woman.” Not eight nameless, faceless women who twerk around a man.

My Brother’s Keeper reinforces toxic masculinity and it doesn’t give us an alternative one. In the town hall, there was no black feminism"

My Brother’s Keeper reinforces toxic masculinity and it doesn’t give us an alternative one. In the town hall, there was no black feminism, nothing that recognized the ordinary humanity of black girls and women; they are either on a pedestal or on the floor.

I am sure some boys of color will benefit from My Brother’s Keeper. I am much more excited about programs, like Assata’s Daughters in Chicago, which teaches black girls about oppression, abolition and how to organize social justice campaigns

write a think piece about Obama scolding Black men, then pivot to toxic masculinity and Black feminism brehettes

do we gotta worry about you raping her

 

[Majestic]

He's a clown. Worst president in recent times.

 

[Pazzy]

I grew up around gangs and drugs not because of toxic masculinity but because of white supremacy. I saw:

1. A driveby.
2. My neighbor get shot in the face.
3. My homie shoot a man in the leg.
4. People get beat up and jumped.
5. And more

...all before turning 16. These conditions were due to White supremacy’s constant attack on African American progress. I shouldn’t have had to see the shyt I saw but I did and it’s weak to blame African Americans for their dysfunction for having to grow up in these government manufactured ghettos. I’m all for holding people accountable but when you admonish us and pretend like White supremacy doesn’t exist you just exacerbate the issue because the answer to all our problems ends up being “you need to try harder”.

Exactly. Dude is a great actor who knows how to rock a crowd but he ain't shyt. He's a fraud but most of us knew that. A president is a puppet. He's part of the elite. He ain't one of us so don't be surprised when he says shyt like this.

Just like he was giving speeches to the very same wall street after his terms were over for 500k or something like that after saying he was going to go after making the gullible people happy with the controlled opposition occupy wall street.

 

[UWasntThere]

He must have been listening to 4:44 on the way to that speech

 

[Kano]

Barrack isn’t the father to any Black boys. He’s Michelle’s Husband.

In fact.. I’d honestly rather hear this “scolding” from her.

Ok, I’ve been “scolded” by black elders that aren’t related to me. I needed that as well. I’ve been “scolded” by teachers too. I guess it all depends on how you are raised honestly and that depends on who your parents are. Some kids are born into very unfortunate circumstances. If elders don’t scold them the system will.

 

[Benjamin Sisko]

Did you read the article? Her whole premise is to say Obama should stop talking down to black boys.

That doesn’t mean she’s NOT with a cac or entertain one. Idk why you even post that pic like we suppose to go Gaga over someone whose clock works twice in a day. Did you do any more research on other articles she wrote or her twitter timeline?? It’s not that deep to see some black men bashing or wenching somewhere

 

[Tribal Outkast]

You know you can choose to not listen to him right?
