I’ve already talk about how black males are complacent in the erasure of black females and the degradation of the black womb, how black men are silent or call black women jealous when we complain we are represented by biracial and nonblack women in the media. We don’t hear black men question why the black families are usually represented by a black male black son, biracial women and biracial daughter. Also the general unwillingness to address how black women are the largest victims of sexual violence because there are bigger fish to fry.
PH talked about how Black males use the Eurocentric standard to beauty to denigrate and also rank black women. There were also a few good points in the black male privilege list she posted.
MSW already talked about the black males are silent when a black woman is a victim of a crime, black men’s unwillingness to fight against patriarchy also the fact that black men complain about racism than create holidays like WW Wednesday where they humiliate black women and basically do the White man’s bidding with regards to insulting black women’s looks. Black men humiliate black women in the spaces that they DO Control. Black men fight against racism and white male supremacy, but they do not fight with black women against patriarchy nor do they fight with black women against the Eurocentric standard of beauty. They are our allies against white men, but not against white women. The only petitions and movements against these issues are by black women, if Black men wanted to be a true ally they would hold these goons accountable, rather that telling black women to get over it.
The Black man’s dismissal black women as being bitter single maids or jealous of white women, as evident but the responses in this thread is another so called issue. Anyways I’m over it if you want to get my opinion on the subject you can scroll through the thread!
Why do you speak of black men as one homogeneous group? You wouldn't allow anyone to place black women in such a group.
You've had plenty of black men in this thread tell you they identify with your issues. Plenty of black men complain about all the issues you brought up. How could we then be "complacent in the erasure of black women and the degradation of a the black womb"?
As a father and a husband, I am insulted that you would continue to repeat that line.
Check this site, plenty of us who aren't c00ns/cacs/trolls celebrate the natural beauty of the black woman. It's women who are holding on to those standards more so then men these days. Y'all controll that, we think anything y'all do is beautiful once you do it.
And black men are not silent when our women are the victim of a crime. We lash out and support just the same no matter the sex of the victim. Most of us have never even heard of WW Wednesdays until one of you brought it up. Y'all gotta quit catching feelings about Internet trolls, half of them probably aren't even black.
And how could you say your issues aren't addressed? Your president, a black man that was voted in and endorsed by other black males has spent a lot of time on women's issues, even more so than so called "black male issues" churches, community centers, ect, always concentrate on women's issues.
I understand letting your grievances be know, but when you ignore all of the good and concentrate on the bad, your message losses power.
You are better off embracing those who are trying to engage with you and understand your burden.
Men are simple, they just want your attention. You can decide whether to give them attention for the negative or the positive. You keep giving them attention for the negative, they will keep doing it, once they notice that attention is going to other men they will adapt. That is your privelage as a woman. You guys hold more control then you give yourselves credit for, use it wisely.
