Pull Up the Roots

A lot of this thinking is just reheated, long-refuted nonsense from the Moynihan Report. You're using the same flawed ideas that pathologized Black families while letting systemic racism off the hook as he did in that bullshyt report.
You also don't understand what leadership entails and that it isn't about control, but about responsibility. The tired welfare myth gets repeated too much in these conversations, and it ignores how Black families were actually destabilized by racist policies, mass incarceration, and economic barriers, *not* because women supposedly chose benefits over men.
Instead of focusing on real solutions, your argument fixates on policing what women wear or how they behave, as if that's the root of the problem. That's just respectability politics wrapped in old fashioned misogyny. If "strong male leadership" is the answer, then step up and lead by example, and stop blaming Black women for the conditions they didn't create. Or you could be honest about what this is all about.

Blaming "toxic females" for so-called "failed" men is just another way to dodge accountability. It takes two to make a child, so why are absentee fathers never held responsible for abandoning their families? If a man's presence is so essential, then the failure starts with the men who walked away, not just the women who stayed and raised those children alone. Instead of regurgitating tired, debunked Moynihan Report nonsense, maybe ask why so many men would rather attack single mothers than hold absent fathers accountable.We have way too many failed , feminine males that were raised by toxic females dawg
