You can. It doesn't make the message a lie. A lot of Tu Quoque fallacies going on here. You can bring people's attention to one message that you obviously don't like it doesn't mean he's ignoring the issue you brought up.

It does when it's NEVER brought up. Tho. When everyone uses their ALL resources to focus on a few things it becomes a trend.

Frankly I'm not surprised that it's happening. It's just par for the course. People in our community are drama driven. Post a wholesome thread about a great blk chick and it'll get maybe three pages with about half of the posts hating.

Post a thread about hoes and thots? Platinum!

Nope.

YEP. Will and have held families down if men didn't have jobs. Makes due with getting the bare minimum in standards. More than willing to work to help support the family.

There are ways to do social/cultural criticism without degrading people...

Ironically this video has a degrading Black woman caricature... SMFH

I watched the entire thing and I do not see where Stromae degrades black women....?

@Queen instead of dapping and running, you're also flee to chime in. i've asked y'all women for 3 yrs to define black male privilege, and none of y'all have been able to define how BM have it easier than BW

You are standing on a faulty foundation that the argument is that black men have it "easier" than black women as if there was some objective way to assess that. Furthermore, there should be no thoughts as to who has it "easier" when we are on the same team.

You are also standing on the faulty assumption that men and women are the same. As if women dismissing men's issues has the same impact as men dismissing women's issues.

I am sorry if the responbility of being a man is upsetting to you, but women need their men to listen and empathize with them. We need our men to fight for us and not against us. We need our men to value us, cherish us, and carry that message to the world. You have the privilege of being dismissive towards that and not dealing with the consequences.

You are standing on the faulty assumption that black women are talking about the world at large as opposed to within our own communities where boys are regarded in a different way than girls. The double standard can be damaging to the self esteem of young girls. If that doesn't impact you then you might have the privilege of being able to dismiss it as trivial.

That aside, men do enjoy certain "privileges" over women. Like the ability to have a bad day without being called a bytch. Or the ability to be tough in business and that being seen as respectable and not a negative trait. But that is not exclusive to black men.

Thanks random blk man for trying to get ur come up off bashing and stereotyping the women of ur race. Blk women are probably the least materialistic of ALL races, most willing to get in the trenches and financially contribute to our relationships if not carry them completely, most educated demographic in America,

What are you going on about? It's just art about those women who do degrade themselves with materialism and attention. He doesn't draw anything but black women so that's who the art is about. It's the same with the Russian artist.

And this dude couldn't think of any other way to depict his women...

I agree with you but he copied a Russian artist and white females were doing the same thing. The sexual angle is best and most real degrading angle I guess?

I could easily draw a picture of a blk man being led around on a chain by a white woman with suggestively saggin pants crawling through the glass of white acceptance with drugs, absentee fathers, hoods and unemployment makin him take every inch. But it seems that some blk men are only sensitive to blk male stereotypes.

Would be piff. ;whew:

no but the do trade sex for toys. Breh how can't you understand this simple concept?

I didn't say I didn't understand it. The first words I posted was I agree. My reply had nothing to do with the photos alone. It was about what the OP stated about black women feeling insulted and selling thier souls and dignity.

I don't believe Stromae is responsible. I think it was the animator. In any case, one of the characters in the very beginning was a caricature drawing of the "Aunt Jemima or Mammy" type.

I NEVER said Stromae degrades Black women. Just that the video contained a degrading image.

Bolaji-Idowu does not claim all women are alike , in fact he added “It would be stupid for me to assume every woman does this but this is what I’ve come to know about a few”.“this one girl that I know is always looking for approval and love off social platforms. She basically “feeds” off it. I know there are a million other ways I could have passed my message across in a less provocative way but I needed certain reactions. "Like I said there are so many other ways I could have painted these and I chose to do it this way. I also really just need people to know that it’s not a shot at women and it is not a race thing. It’s just things going on I represented in an extreme way”.

Sounds like a crazy misogynist who has it in for the black woman.

This... Let these 6 certs, 6 series 6 figures dudes lose their jobs and money and their PAWG is ditching them.

Some of these men never learned from OJ.

What we learn about, what we value, what we fight for, our attitudes and ideologies, as black people, are all seen through the eyes of black men, and in the best interest of black men.

no, it's not how are all these experiences being seen through the eyes of black men, when most blacks are being raised predominately by the women? nobody gives a two shyts about black men. when i see all these homeless black folks, of child bearing age, on the streets--it's RARELY black women. imo, we're more likely to be taught to value and respect black women, way more than we are black men.

These black women who fight for black men and our issues, the fact that black men are more visible in the media, our input holds more power than black women's. Yes the black community is majority matriarchal, but the society that we live in is patriarchal and so black men will benefit from that (the attitudes, beliefs, politics, relationships) more than black women. We get targeted. Black women get ignored.

i knew you were going to flip towards this bullshyt, feminist response. BM receive more coverage in the media because we are DISPROPORTIONATELY murdered. (compared to black women, or any other race) i'm also adhering to this feminist rhetoric. using black men being murdered by cops, to push their own feminist/gay agenda. BM don't rally or protest as much, because we're more likely to realize it's a useless form of response.

Most of the dudes here seem to respect this post for its candor and realness. If a black female artist painted what you said, I'd give her props, but with women it's not the same. They don't want to be told their shyt stinks from a black man...ever. They ain't trying to hear that shyt. You can't point out a black womans fault without it being anti-black women in general. If it don't apply, let it fly.
