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

[Neuromancer]

Okay because you’re needy, we all should be. Got
It...

Some of us need that type of shyt and some of us don’t so let’s not project our nonsense on everybody else when the facts suggest that people that figure out and get things done by themselves are more successful than those that need to lean / on others for that.

Most people in great positions in this country got that way through nepotism. But whatever you say man.

The whole "HYON", extra-individuality and "fukk the world" mentality are terribly negative and are big reasons it's hard to envision positive developments regarding Black Men worldwide. Brehs fail to understand it's by design.

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

It should. Why doesn't it?

Jealousy maybe? That’s at least the biggest reason why I see brothers not supporting others.

Black men hate each other more than white women hate each other.

Great topic. A culture and race of people that cannot afford to be so individualistic but are. When are people going to understand that a strength in any community whether it be social economic etc comes from unity and empathy toward other members of the community but Black people for the most part fail to realize that.

 

[Prynce]

How do you see that changing?

Idk black people are so conditioned with such harsh views on black men and they feel it's justified to hold negative feelings toward another black man if he doesn't live up to their standards

What do you think caused this?

 

[Jasonmask]

Generally no, but it depends

 

[Matt504]

I don't think there's a lack of empathy between Black men, I think any lack of empathy that does exist is a small and negligible minority. We empathize with each other so much that whenever a Black man does anything we look for reasons to excuse the behavior, especially if a woman is involved.

 

[GreenGhxst]

If you're constantly fukking over yourself and lying to yourself over and over... my empathy for you will dwindle really quick

But in general yeah, empathy should be there for each other the quickest

 

[Prynce]

i was about to say this....

some cats in here enjoy seeing black men fail and struggle

Yep and they justify it by saying you're a man or you're grown.

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Black people’s inability to work together to create, build, and maintain is why we are in this position.

You rarely see other groups putting each other down.

Find all the clips of Asians on Fox News putting down Asians. And white men seperate themselves into any possible subgroup to avoid complaining about white men. Liberal, conservative, poor, elite, working class, gay, straight, Jew, Christian, but never just white.

Probably has more to do with their hared of women than empathy

I am sorry to hear this. It sounds like self imposed hell.

What the fukk is there to be sorry about nikka...self imposed hell...what its a harsh reality to life...not that i don't enjoy life and have fun...but i know what really going especially with nikkas and devils

I don't care to coddle other men or be coddled by other men. It's not my job to give empathy and I don't believe I'm entitled to empathy from other men.

Too many men want to talk down to other men and disrespect them when they do something they don't like but want sympathy from their fellow man when it's convenient. Dudes want to call other men c00ns, simps, broke, white washed etc, but want to be coddled by other men when it's convenient. I'm cool on being comrades with those type of clowns.

The amount of men I can identify with and see as comrades are in the minority. I'll never look to an entire group for sympathy and support. It sounds weak and ridiculous.
