Troll thread, but whatever. Black feminism has the right to define itself...let me know when it gets around to doing that. I know too many black feminists that are either single or with white/lightskin nonblack men. I don't hate, or dislike any woman for being single; that's her choice, but it's clear that lifestyle is not conductive to a thriving society. My opinion on interracial should be obvious. There were indeed female rulers throughout African history, but they were quite rare..like unicorns. There were plenty of female businesswomen, and the ilk, and I strongly and firmly support the right to our women to have whatever power they're capable of gaining. It can only be good for the race as a whole, and our women have shown that there are more individuals capable among them, than in many other races.
At the same time though, due to female nature, they always want to marry up. Until our men are uplifted the only way up, outside of celebrities, is out. I agree with an earlier poster in their statement that we should examine what does, and doesn't work, and build a system that balances out. Patriarchal guidance is a necessity. Forbidding whorish behavior (from both ends really), interracial, and cavorting with the unfit dregs of society must be enforced. At the same time, though, barefoot and pregnant doesn't have to be the model.
I am against the womanism movement, those who support it, and those who stand behind it. You can see it in their discussions, complaints about this, and that which always come back to blaming black men. Whenever they rarely complain about whites....its a lot more gentle. There is always an implicit, and unstated implication of the white savior. On Reddit's black community it's obvious.
The example of r/blackfellas vs r/blackladies. The fellas side is pretty slow in activity, and so is the ladies, but the ladies clearly see more activity. Recently there was an argument regarding the divide between the subs, black women shamed and laughed, while the black men (clearly mostly comprised of the 'beta' archetype) tried to be direct, and respectfully voiced their grievances. It ended in blackfellas being removed from blackladies related subs list (they were already one notch below hair), citing them as creepy losers, and complaing about them being obsessed with black women (should not a man worry for the collective state of his woman?). Meanwhile a thread every other day about dealing with their white friends, and what to do when their boyfriends family says something racially insensitive, and uplifting barely black looking breeds, and bigging up asians, and bigging up the right to be sluts without judgment, and pushing the YASSS GIRL POWER, which seems to me as being more like a psychological defense mechanism for not being distressed with the state of their race, nonstop whining about their treatment from white people. 'Hey white guys, look at us!!!!! PLEASE!!!' You can practically taste it. The desperation, the insecurity, and the loss of hope. I'm not disrespecting women for that, as there's a lot to be distressed about.
If you're fukking a white man you disgust me. If you're fukking an arab you disgust me (one of the females in this very thread is), if you're fukking anything than black it's a disgrace. The key to black power is a strong family structure, which doesn't have to mean cac style ball n chain, in which black male power and influence is primary. There is no other way; I just hope we're able to get in gear. As a young black man, simply being conscious of my collective surroundings gets depressing.
Defeat white supremacy/white patriarchy? That is never going to happen, and you know it. As long as there are whites that system will continue to exist. Creating a system of our own independent of theirs is a possible viable solution.
look, fukk all that for a second. this is about america and what we're dealing with in 2015. without a stable patriarchy of our own, how will black women or blacks in general defend ourselves?
