I'm being argumentative, yet you just got done with a post telling women we are stupid to not use the power we have. But let anyone fix their mouth to say that about Black men, who too have plenty of power they could be exercising but don't because of a system that beats them down. You are incredibly biased, but I am just going to ignore it and the rest of the straw mans in your post and focus on the few parts of your post that don't insult.
See, learn how to read, again. I said some of you are stupid and none of you can unify. Black men are called "stupid" all the time and we keep right on about or business and proving people wrong to the point where black women,like yourself, are begging for our help.. "nikkas ain't shyt" has been heralded through out the black community and through all the "nikkas ain't shyt" you can breathe out we never take that shyt personal, we just keep it trucking. "nikkas ain't shyt........ but please help up with black male privilege". Lol...
What exactly do you think the Black Womanist movement is? This is our movement, so what exactly do you mean that we aren't trying to fix our own problems? Truthfully, most Black feminists were unlike me because they actually knew neither Black men nor white women would ever feel anything for the issues Black women face, and never to an extent to actually acknowledge their privilege or join the ranks of our fight. I thought there was hope, but the overwhelming negative response we received on both fronts proved them right. And that's fine, we will continue to work to fix our own problems on our own. But just don't come out of your mouth with any self righteous bullshyt about wanting to have 'solidarity' and not be 'divisive' when when it comes to Black male issues its a community issue we should all address, and when it comes to Black female issues its: "Why can't you fix your own problems?"
If it's your movement that rally your (black women) people together. It's
your's. nikkas kept telling y'all in the beginning of the thread "Have a "we" mentality", "This is our community", "Let's work together", and the only thing y'all could keep doing was telling us we'd never understand and that we couldn't relate. So fine. I can't relate to your movement so I don't see why I should be a part it. You got what you wanted.
And having said that please do your research, because you are blatantly wrong on many different points you made here. Black women are only better off that Black men educationally. And even then your male privilege puts you at an economic advantage. We make less money for the same job, and jobs considered to be "female" continue to earn less than jobs that are considered to be "male". You are in a political advantage with more Black male leaders at the government and community level by far, and you are a social advantage seeing as how sports and music, two realms you dominate, allow you to remain in the public eye and see people that look like you routinely, while Black women remain relatively invisible or are only allowed to see the light or mixed versions of ourselves as representatives.
But you all are able to have jobs in the first place so stop all ya blood clot cryin'.
Guess who does majority of the voting for our black leaders.........

Prove it. :D
. All so you don't have to admit your male privilege. But I'm sure by the time I get to the end of your post you will start talking about how you have our back and you want togetherness despite all the crap you are spewing.
And here's why you have so many people disagreeing with you. Do you see the bolded? It says
MALE, not BLACK male, not AFRICAN-AMERICAN male, but
MALE. But some kind of way, some of you women have found a way to make this a black male issue. Not gonna let it happen. Don't put this on the back of black men as if we are the only ones at work here. That's what we've all been saying the whole time. No one is saying male privilege doesn't exist. No one. Just saying that it's not something a black man created or can solve and that black females have a lot of privilege too.
And quick question, why would Black women lead protests against child support when Black men are leaving them holding the bag when it comes to taking care of their children?
Why would they make it even easier for Black men to not support them even financially in the full time job of child rearing, which is actually more expensive than any child support payment? Its like your only focus is on making Black men appear to be the ultimate downtrodden group despite evidence to the contrary. You don't even care about the fact that the issue you brought up as a so-called Black male issue actually hurts children most of all currently, and would hurt them even worse if whatever fight you have against it succeeded.
Why should any man go to jail because of child support? Do you not see how this is further establishing a prison state? I agree that men should take care of their kids. I don't agree wit children out of wedlock. I don't even agree with children not born under strict financial planning. But women don't go to jail for not being financially able to take care of their kids. They get food stamps, housing, and other forms of financial sustenance/assistance from the government.
If you want equality, if you want to be treated fair, (black) women should be in jail in droves for not being able to financially take care of their kids without government help. A man can't ask for help to pay child support. Why do women get this privilege?
So now we are getting into college and being employed more not because of our own hard work and our own doing but because Black women are favored? lmao. Our biggest cheerleaders though. Please, post evidence of any of these ridiculous accusations meant to downplay the strides Black women make. I would love to see it.
If you don't see how women/females benefit through the whole educational system, then don't expect me to see your problems either.
Black Female Privilege:
- Your teacher will more than likely always be a female, just like you.
- You will not face harsher educational penalties than males for things such as classroom disruption, fights, etc.
- You can start a fight with a male student and the male student will be the only one who gets arrested
- You will not get arrested, period, for things other male students will get arrested for.
- You are less likely to be labeled as "learning disabled"
"Sitting in the same classroom, reading the same textbook, listening to the same teacher, boys and girls receive very different educations." (Sadker, 1994) In fact, upon entering school, girls perform equal to or better than boys on nearly every measure of achievement but by the time they graduate high school or college, they have fallen behind. (Sadker, 1994) However, discrepancies between the performance of girls and the performance of boys in elementary education leads some critics to argue that boys are being neglected within the education system

And that's just a small slice of where your female privilege begins
