Do you think it's okay for black men to lack empathy for other black men?

[Neuromancer]

I'm not saying accepting it. I'm saying do you think it's right? Since we as men tend to have codes of honor should we not be our brothers keeper? Or should we just be like, "men don't get sympathy from the world so why should I have any?"

Black men aren't seen as humans who deserve love and support by most people including other black men. We're seen as victimiziers even by other black men.

The next big step in our community is changing that

Yes, it's ok for me to think whatever I want or whatever I don't want about anyone.

We should definitely be our brothers keeper and help uplift one another, the men I was raised around taught me this and I teach this as well

I think it's in everyone's best interest.

The alternative is thought police. And nobody wants that.

Not really. That's a little strawmanish. There are middle grounds. Whether you don't want to take them is on you.

It's hard to feel empathy or sympathy for those who dehumanize themselves. Hw many time have we heard someone refer to themself as a savage, demon, goon, monster, thug, real nikka? The only time they want to be humanized is when facing consequences for the actions they chose.

Basically and for it to change we have to start with those that are around us first

There's a level of unity in cultural identification. Actually unity is the root of culture. So you're lying.

No
Lack of empathy is the main reason we have so much conflict.
