Black American communities are made up of a network of white American patriarchal-imposed matrifocal households.
This is why the black community experiences all of the negatives of rampant, chaotic feminization, but none of the benefits the structure and order of masculinization brings.
I agree. However it’s more complicated than that because the order that “masculinization” brings is a myth as well. Children are often MOST vulnerable in highly patriarchal societies especially when we are met with scorn, derision and anger at even SUGGESTING reform of these societies. In fact there is a direct correlation between the degree of patriarchal foundations in a society, and the vulnerablity of women and children with increases in the former leading to increases in the latter.
There are reasons for this. Yet, the answer isn’t extreme feminization which is useless IMO as a structure either. It’s pragmatism and egalitarianism, but even with humanity on the edge of existential extinction, we as a species still
to fukking stupid to see that.
Meanwhile, the most toxic forms of both masculinity and femininity find their homes in impoverished racially ravaged communities like ours as nothing more than sheer chaos.
The AA community is in a unique position where we could adopt and revolutionize previous models of leadership and take the best parts of them and craft something great for ourselves. But instead we too busy fighting each other and sucking the dikk of false “tradition” to bolster hurt egos to bridge a better society for ourselves.
And our children bear the brunt of our failure.
