Bell Hooks and Melissa Harris Perry talk about Black Feminism...Coli, get in here

[QuintessentialBM]

Well according to some men in this thread me and all black women want white men and wouldn't want an Obama type. I'm sorry but many guys don't know what the hell they are talking about.

Lol...... The collective choices of black women from the past 30 years contradict your statement..... I await you denial and deflection.

Not all black female c00ns are feminists. Some black female c00ns like light skins and don't like dark skins, and are ashamed of their blackness either way. Obama could fight into the light skin profile and be positively discriminated against in that way.

There is at least one female c00n feminist on this very board who likes light skins/whites but not dark skins.

Well it's hard to decipher who is the true black feminists and who are the "neo" black feminists. Alot of the black man hate rhetoric is started by Black feminists and they are extremely quiet when it comes to White men. Let a public figure Black man disrespect a Black woman, Black feminists will be at his neck. Let a public figure White man disrespect a Black woman, they say NOTHING NOTHING!!!!. Their articles, blogs, radio shows, any mass media production is targeted solely at Black men & White women.

Tell me what black women has a collective have chosen. Please tell me what's going to show that all black women want white men and no black women want the Obama type (which is what I was refuting). Please tell me about myself. Then please tell me about black men as a collective. Please school me sir.

All of Obama, Melissa Harris Perry and Drake were raised by white moms.

What do they know about black motherhood, I wonder.

I always laugh when people compare blacks to people like Obama and Drake. Obama and Drake's childhood was a white suburban boy's childhood.

Underrated post

You don't know? That strong black woman will become a submissive woman when she is with a white man. There is all types of excuses they use; like a change of culture, they are nicer etc. Alot of black women have been brainwashed to not respect black men and black men have been emasculated. See Michelle Obama. Barack is the fukkin president and he still get's disrespected.

I hadn't heard that they supposedly respect white men more.

Who do you think is brainwashing them?

The "black men ain't s**t" and "I'mma get me a white man" rhetortic has done all the talking necessary. Like I said in a previous post..... even if there were enough educated black males for black women to choose from, they will still complain because only a small portion of them will be Obama-esque... Every black woman isn't going to get an Obama. period.

One of the main reasons why black marriage/dating is in the condition that it is... because there's 0 incentive for hard-working, educated and high integrity black men do build with black women, who until just this generation, want more than swag as a quality in a man that they view as a prospective mate...... Let me just stop you in your thought process right now, because I already see where your retort is going..... Black men aren't entitled to A, B, & C..... Ok, fair enough.... so how can black women collective say that.... There aren't any black men that satisfy those prerequisites then say that "I'mma get me a white man" in the same breath and then complain about the black community?

what does black feminism even stand for? oppression of black women by black men? when did that happen? and if it ever did it sure as hell isnt a problem now....

our community has been a matriarchy for the last 40 years...black men have no power over black women

 

[ebonykiss]

Any critiques on the actual statements made in the talk though?

Very little power....

You must have missed my initial post..... Most of their grievances they talked about are white people related.... They threw in some MLK/Brotha Malcolm blame for good measure too.

Sweetie, you don't know where I'm going. Have you forgotten that you don't know me. Right now I'm trying to see what the hell you are talking about because I made a comment that said according to some men in this thread all black women want white men and none want Obama types. I'm waiting for you to show me evidence that all black women want white men and none what Obama types. It really seems that you are looking to argue about something and I'm trying to figure out what it is.

bruh...its not a little...its none...

the vast majority of men and women in our community grow up with no stable male figure in the home....

too many men grow up learning how to be men on their own...and too many women grow up with no idea of what to look for in a man or how to treat him when they get one...

i look back on my child hood and it was the norm for a woman to be the head of the house hold for most of my friends

What does Melissa Harris Perry know about feminism? She has Obama's cock in her mouth every time she appears on t.v.

She is incapable of critical thinking and treats Obama like her surrogate husband, she is a dumb bytch.

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

the problem with threads like these is that it devolves into finger pointing and blame-gameing....

we are all at fault for the state of our community....

instead of pointing out whats wrong and deflecting blame....

how about we come up with ideas to fix things?
