Goldman Sachs pledges $10 billion to support advancement of Black women

I'm not going back and forth with no woman, you heard what I said let that grown man fight his own battles.

Bytch when you present a grown man then I’ll respect you as one. Until then I’ll continue talking to you like a bytch.

 

[Nicole0416_718_929_646212]

Stay out of grown mens conversations. He a bytch for tagging a woman to come up in here anyway. If he got a problem with me that bad I'll put an address on it, but a woman aint supposed to fight no grown man battles.

He can tag whoever the fuk he wants. I’ve been here 3 years and he knows I handle business - stop acting like I’m a random bytch on a cycle. You know what this is. The real issue is how I was being impartial and minding my business
Until you stuck your stupid foot in your mouth all on a tirade. Log off and take a damn breather, I thought men were supposed to have self control. Better go tell Tippy’s Taco Truck over there in Dallas to fix you a plate so you can have something the fuk else to do with your mouth besides emoting.
I

popping shyt but got a whole Mexican for a father that may or may not be his dad to his may or may not be stepbrother. With your fukked up family tree. Dude gp figure out where your branches start then you can talk about what he should do as a black man. Cowhides and c00ntrails in su casa.

I didn't say not one thing sideways to you woman, what are you mad for?

Fair question about full vs part time workers. I found another study that only looked at full time workers from 2010, and there was still a 14% gap in black men's favor.

Black workers have made no progress in closing earnings gaps with white men since 2000

[/QUOTE]

Now why do full-time workers make more than part-time workers?
Because they work more hours, right?

More women generally work part-time than men. So to include all of those in one pot
and determine the mean is disingenuous.

I'm not sure what the importance of segmenting by age would be.
[/QUOTE]

Because men don’t generally start making their real bread until they get settled in their careers.
This is especially the case for Black folk, because Black men have to (as said ad nauseum in this thread lol)
“grind” for various reasons. Whereas, a Black woman with a college can get her first job and - depending on her
industry and market - make more money than many Black men her age.

So it’s interesting that metrics like these never show that split.

Not to say that black men are doing great, but we arent doing worse than black women economically, which was my point. [/QUOTE]

My point is, even without getting the true diverse picture of what the actual situation is, Black women and Black men are still in the same neighborhood fiscally according to your graph. It’s not a drastic enough difference to say there’s a “gap”.

And even still, knowing that, somehow Black women seem to deserve more empathy/understanding/help than we do. And look - that’s fine. People with resources do whatever they want to with them...but here’s what it looks like:

Like a little Black boy and Black girl go to the Ice Cream Shop and buy a cone. The boys’ scoop looks a little bit bigger, so the girl says “hey, he got more than me!” So the shop owner says, “it’s alright, here have 3 more cones”.

As far as the self employed, I bet a similar gap exists as with regular workers. Look at the BE 100. 95% of the most successful black businesses are run by black men. [/QUOTE]

The “most successful” of something doesn’t give the whole picture.
“Self employed” would include all the ladies who make a living doing hair, running a day care out of their house, or having a side hustle like Avon/Mary Kay. That’s not even to speak of nefarious work. You know that is a large chunk of Black women. Why doesn’t any of that get counted?


[QUOTE="middlebrow”]
As for why more resources are earmarked for women than specifically for men, obviously because women are poorer and more vulnerable than men, in general.

Let’s presume this is true.
Now let’s go back to my original question: why aren’t the Hispanic women getting grants like this, also?
Aren’t they women?

What's with yall and this hatred of African immigrants?

 

[jwonder]

What's with yall and this hatred of African immigrants?

For what I understand Africans can be hard to deal with especially from Nigeria. I'm just going by what I here from people in the DMV area. I never dealt with them. Not a huge population in Africans in South FL, but the ones I encountered from Senegal were really cool.

I love Africans.


But I'm starting to notice a trend

Me too
African women in America more likely to be on that bullshyt

What's with yall and this hatred of African immigrants?

There’s no hatred involved. African immigrants more specifically Nigerian immigrants imo attempt to assimilate into American society by adopting the racial views of the dominant society. We’re finally calling them out in it.
Also, we need need to make a clear distinction between ADOS and African immigrants because whenever we get some form of pseudo restitution such as affirmative action, they’re some of the first to sign up without having any of the trauma and racial discrimination that we’ve had to deal with

No Somalis in South FL?

Not that I've encountered but they could be there

So if they're not African Americans, the other Blacks you encounter with in South SL are the Haitians?

This would make them like all the other racial groups especially like the asians and the mexicacs.

I mean if you were them you'd do the same thing too. Now if you're saying it's galling that other Black people are doing this you'd have a point but then that leads us back to the We all Black, We're all in this together talking point that ADOS had until literally yesterday.
