How did a powerful black empowerment speech turn into a diss towards black men

[At30wecashout]

If Jesse didn't rely on his Black female fan base for his career, I wouldn't side eye his pandering to Black women so much. It's practically a given that people know that some Black women will lavish any praise given to them and help further their careers...Kendrick Lamar p, Timberfake, etc, etc, He might be as genuine and nice as could be, but I've seen the "Black women are the greatest bait and switch" show before.

Who supposed to be his fans? White people? Whatever his fanbase is, I don't give a fukk. The date of that was 6/26, right on the heels of Jesse's speech on race relationships.
Nothing in that speech pandered specifically to black female fans of his works, so much as it addressed the feelings of ALL black people. If someone wanted to use something Jesse said
to shore up that flimsy, bytchmade jab the tweeter in OP did, there are probably a lot of other examples to use.

Taking a pro-black speech and making it into a weapon in the "respect for your sistas" argument is the issue. Instead of using the speech to discuss, it is being used to chide folks.
THATS the shyt that always happens, and people begin to forget the point of the speech in the first place.

Same people blowin this shyt up are the same ones crying about mixed broads being picked over them and being the standard for "black" beauty

I still haven't watched this, don't watch bet and never been a fan of the awards but I guess there's nikkas out here that need pep talks. If people don't know what it is at this point then they never will

I knew that was coming when I was watching last night. He's not black enough to speak on black people being treated like less than second class citizens...

so i guess Malcolm and Huey ain't black enough. smh only on thecoli would people assume that because somebody is mixed or even light skinned they ain't black enough.

I reblogged the gif of him saying respect black women with no context whatsoever ...only to see it reblogged again but this time reminding me that black men ain't sh!t



What did we do this time...jeez

had the audacity to dance on a boat with white women word to kyrie irving

 

[Raheem95]

fukk BET

 

[ridedolo]

Stop that...None of that shyt relates to the tweet about his mother in any way

Why didnt black women assume he learned all this from his Black father and maybe they should be doing their best keep their kids fathers in their lives

 

[Knuckles Red]

We do not need a half white savior when white people have always said without them we are nothing.

Nothing he said was anything I haven't already heard before, but we all know the real reason he's getting so much praise...

Because mothafukkas in our camp can't even let something stand on its own. One thing has nothing to do with each other, and any positives, even if its just lipservice, gets

b*stardized into something else to shame someone. Notice, its fine if you say folks be out here disrespecting their sistas...nah, mothafukka had to take it somewhere else and

say "A man with a white mom loves sistas more than you." Divisive as fukk. shyt like this is why folks can never come to a consencus, cause whether you pro black, pro equality,

just some regular ass mothafukka, being right and taking jabs at folks is ALWAYS more important than common ground. Al-fukking-ways. Check the Jesse Williams thread.

Why the fukk did it turn, from page one, into some other shyt about who is black or who is doing what? Mothafukkas wonder why race threads don't fly in TLR...same shyt that happens

in real life, happens on here x100. Nobody stays on topic. Always some infighting bullshyt.

The connections people can make out of thin air are crazy. I saw a lot of tweets like the one below after the Kyrie White Party Yacht video shouting out Dirk. Most married black NBA players are married to black women but they skip over all those proud black men with black families they are supporting financially to shout out Dirk. One woman even tagged the pic of Dirk and his wife as #staywoke

No. I wasn't saying her wasn't black enough. I'm defending him. Take yo goofy ass on.

Exactly.... The change needs to come within.

Things like this prove how mentally ill many of the people who post on the internet are. How could anyone take this and turn it into a diss towards black men are really mentally sick.
