The original argument with regards to this point was that you think domestic violence is "unique" to black Americans men. Well, it appears the evidence does not support your assertion. Domestic violence, reported and unreported, is common all over the world including parts of Asia like India, in addition to parts of Europe, Africa and Latin America. At what point does a phenomena cross from "unique" to "common? At what point do you stop implying that black American men need a "special solution"?
No, my argument is that the uniquely and disproportionate degree of domestic violence in the Black community in the US was a problem. I made no assertions about the rest of the world, nor did I imply that domestic violence as a whole was unique to Black people. That would be as ridiculous as saying that police targeting as a whole is unique to Black people. I brought up the issue in the first place because of certain posters pretending that there is nothing unique to Black female experience in the US, and in fact, Black women had massive amounts of advantages over Black men with no disadvantages, which is a ridiculous claim.
Also, the specter of poverty and education comes into play too, as domestic violence rises and falls according to social class and education. But if we took everything you say at face value, the only problem would be "warped views of gender". Poverty and education? Pshh, irrelevant.
Black Americans live in poverty at degrees higher than other races and have a Southern culture, but domestic violence happens amongst poor whites too, and the problem certainly is not "unique" as I showed you above.
Warped views of gender are the immediate cause. Poverty and education are correlated with such views, but those views aren't reducible to them. Of course it happens among poor Whites, and every other race, too, but as you implicitly concede here, "culture" is part of the problem, and culture is not reducible to economic circumstance. If that was the case, then Black and White or Black and Asian communities of equal poverty/education would have equal domestic violence rates, and they don't. Similarly, places around the world with the same poverty/education rates would have the same DV rates, and they don't. And for the record, I agree with people like bell hooks that negative views of women in the Black community are imports from slavery era White culture, so I am not saying that Black men invented those views.
Police targeting with respects to black is indeed a unique problem. Police target blacks at higher rates across all economic levels and the problem is endemic. To assert otherwise is to claim that the justice system is not a "unique problem" for blacks. Everyone knows that is not true.
It is a unique problem in degree, not as a whole, the same way domestic violence is a unique problem in degree within the Black community.
No, I won't, because you are a cac with a cac's (black man hating) agenda. You cacs are always trying to couple black men with white supremacy in order to drive a wedge between black men and women. Black men and cac supremacists are eternal enemies. That's why blacks are at the bottom and cacs are at the top. The two cannot coexist.
This cac nonsense is just sad. I'm not White and will never be. I'm Black, grew up in a poor, Black neighborhood, and have been pro-Black my whole life. That includes calling out problems in the Black community, including those in the subgroup I belong to as a Black man. That aside, the fact that you keep trying to make this personal and psychological is a sign of deficiency in your own view.
Black people will never be united until the mistreatment and unique struggles of Black women with respect to White supremacy and to Black men are acknowledged. That's all it comes down to. The constant attempt by some Black men to pretend those problems don't exist or to downplay them is in direct service to White supremacy. The
leading cause of death for Black females ages 15-35 is murder at the hands of a boyfriend or husband. If you don't see that as a serious problem, then I don't see how you can call yourself remotely pro-Black.
you got 5 hunna ideas to go with we believe in you :totheeastside:
for these black feminists man. You're emasculating yourself more and more with each post. Not to mention that you're wrong and short-sighted.
