One of my main gripes with them SYSBM cats is this. No thoughts on helping black boys navigate this predicament.Yea what do you think will happen when these boys are abused and tormented at home, degraded online by everyone, described as violent, self-hating sexual predators by Black women on any media that will allow them, blasted with music about killing them 24/7 and living under enemy occupation as out group men
Black boys have been left defenseless by Black men and are being demoralized
I noticed this as well. Also, a lot of the OGs that they would have had the culture passed down to are either homeless, locked up, or aren't in these kids' neighborhoods. How many black kids nowadays even know who Herbie Hancock and Donald Byrd are, and why they're so important? meanwhile teens like Nas regularly played Sly and the family stone/parliament funkadelic.
Damn wtf. Why was there a spike from 2000 to 2010?I'm not going to argue with what his mother says was a contributing factor.
As to the bold, "in the past" when?
It's been higher, but it's much higher than it was in the 90s.
I feel like these are the major ones. Maslow's heirarchy of needs. A lot of this shyt started to get worse as inflation went up. I feel like it would have been prevented if black elders had set up some kind of "fund" during the 2010s based on crypto. Then used that fund to invest back in the community. But that would've required foresight. We cant control CACs intentionally trying to price us out of living in America, but we could have secretly invested in crypto during the 2010s to counteract the shyt they throwing at us (im talking about large community based funds, in secret).
Society doesntc are bc its essentially genocide by way of deaths of despair. If you think about it, this is what happened to Native American men. I remember being a kid reading about how common it was for Native American men to drink themselves to death or commit suicide on reservations. No one seemeed to care and CACs were quiet. There was even a report that showed that CAC men were the most common perpertrators of femicide among Native American women on reservations, but Native American men got blamed for it. Despite this, it wasnt known in the mainstream. Eventually once Native American numbers started to nosedive CACs finally admitted that it was white men commiting the femicides as well as the societal genocide of Native American men. There's a reason why CACs want to criminalize homelessness so bad, but pedophiles barely get more than 6 months in jail. Once they mark you for genocide they use the justice system and access to capital (by denying you access to capital and the free market) in order to push you to a corner.
THIISSS. This is overlooked so much yet its essential. It's why conservative christians hate free breakfast programs and food stamps, despite their commitment to "feeding the poor". Kids who dont get enough nutrients before puberty will:
True but the elders dont seem to care. If you look at this new breed of "elders" that we have (the ones with access to capital and means), they tend to promote:
