Is society promoting Black Women and leaving Black Men behind?

[The Fade]

Yes. This shyt starts in the 1st grade. Notice how they treat Black boys and how they treat Black girls. They’ll put the black girls in gifted programs, and the Black boys in special ed. Same thing in high school. The girls go to honors and AP classes, and the boys are neglected.

they tried to destroy my younger brother that way. he didnt fukk with going to college because of it for a min

There's a reason why this book was made way back in 1987. People like @Lemons who THINK they know what they're talking about need to read this then get back at me

Summary

Advice for parents, educators, community, and church members is provided in this guide for ensuring that African American boys grow up to be strong, committed, and responsible African American men. This book answers such questions as Why are there more black boys in remedial and special education classes than girls? Why are more girls on the honor roll? When do African American boys see a positive black male role model? Is the future of black boys in the hands of their mothers and white female teachers? and When does a boy become a man? The significance of rite of passage activities, including mentoring, male bonding, and spirituality, are all described.

The BM who have resources and wealth coming together to build more. In other words, say your a breh who's an attorney and you know a few other brehs elsewhere that are also attorneys--why don't all of you eventually come together and start your own firm? The brehs who are celebs, yes they do great things for their communities--we need more of that, more brehs coming together to build schools, to create programs for little boys, to come in and mentor little boys, to encourage more black boys to get into STEM careers and go to HBCUS. More black brehs coming together to police neighborhoods (especially from gangs) the same way we see crazy Karen's and Brads policing their neighborhoods calling the police on anyone who looks suspect. More brehs getting on the brehs who are commiting the violence in our communities, killing children, women, and making them so unsafe. Brehs coming together and using their money to buy land, to buy communities, to start businesses and hire more of us at the businesses. Brehs teaching financial literacy classes, entreprenership classes, and other vital skills to young brehs to help set them up for life. More brehs being involved in their children's lives--people constantly bring up single mothers and it's a fair point, but the mothers are the ones who stick around, the men don't, and women can't raise a boy into a man, only a man can. We need more men involved in their kid's lives, even if they aren't involved withe the mother. Honestly I feel like more brehs should probably even get full custody of their sons starting at certain age, but that's another point. Starting more organizations to support boys. One advantage I see white parents doing is they take their little boys camping and hunting, teaching them survival skills and other masculine activities at young ages. We need more brehs reframining what is masculinity--tying it to other activities outside of their dikks, rap, and other things that have honestly been very harmful to brehs overall.

We need black male teachers and probably black male schools. As men, there's expectation for you to be the leaders. To lead the change you want to see. Yall complain about our community being a matriarchy, but as men yall can rise up and take it back, but some of yall just want to complain about it and aren't taking actions to band together with other bm to make it happen.

And if brehs really want the whole community behind them, giving them support, it does start with them supporting their women and their children as well. As the saying goes, behind every strong man is strong women lifting them up. And in the past BW were lifting BM up, but it's becoming less and less, because BW haven't seen returns. What I mean is that at the end of the day, as much shyt as WW talk about WM, they know who butters their bread-they know WM provide resources, jobs, safe communities, stability, etc. They know WM are always putting them on pedestals and making the rest of us consume content centered on how beautiful are WW--even when they can't stand their women, even when their women are on platforms going against them and targeting them. Wm will still throw everyone under the bus for their own women. The harsh reality is that in a lot of cases, BW are getting, jobs, finances, resources and help more from WM than from brehs. They *feel* as if they get more support from each other and the friendships and networks they've built than from brehs.

Meanwhile, marriage rate is low, Brehettes aren't able to practice to assortive mating like other groups:https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/marriagble-men-release.pdf

Brehs have been putting their women down, getting upset when WM invest in us because they are unable to, saying we aren't desirable and no on wants us, sharing every other negative stereoytpe about us, while boosting up nonbw. Then they turn around and ask BW to support them--do you see the disconnect? When you look at the big picture, it almost makes sense that some brehettes have resorted to admiring wm--because WM are giving bw resources, jobs, etc--things that BM are not. BW want BM to do that for them. BW want BM to put them above other women, to be more loyal to them.

BW would probably stop going in on yall and being so hateful and angry if they saw more of that happening, if we're keeping it buck, because a lot of that hatred is disappointment, frustration, and anger. And I do think some of the points @Lemons has made have been on on point about other groups not respecting BM. But I think doing the above things (helping police and maintain safe communities, building more schools, businesses, land and communities, getting married and/or at least being more active in your children's lives, putting your own women above there's, etc) would earn more respect from brehettes and from other groups.

Of course this is just my opinions based on the conversations I've had with other BW.

You left nothing out! This is perfect in every way. And absolutely 100. And the only thing I’ll add is most Black women I know that are doing well and have reached a certain age and financial status in life aren’t spending time putting Black men down. The Black women I know and associate with are really just tired of doing the heavy lifting and have decided to live their lives. Spending a lot of time planning vacations, outings, uplifting kids, doing things that bring joy. Who has time to spend being angry. At this point you sweep around your own front door. Change what you can where you can but otherwise no one I know is spending time hating or talking down to or about Black men. You enjoy and support the Black men you can and the rest you just try to stay out of their way.

Black Women, Are We Leaving Black Men Behind?

oh boy, now those struggling divesting broads will think theyre making progress with their arts degrees and 100k debt, while in the same self hating cess pool as you nikkas

black people need to stop watching TV and movies for one year, even if you gotta substitute with reading and board games(hell even video games) on the weekend.

Sports are exempt from the entertainment "fast"

The shows and movies you missed you can catch up the next year streaming

I wonder what will happen

 

[Bossino]

nikka went to the pleas store and copped errrrthang. The fukk, I could argue at least a 1/3 of women who are single mothers did it for financially longevity reasons

The fatal flaw in this chest beating you're doing is that y'all are under the illusion that these cacs give a shyt about you.
You honestly believe that you're making your way up the social ladder purely by your own merit, and not because they're playing chess.
You're also deluded enough to believe that the current power structure is going to hand the reigns of power over to you because you dress nice and have a degree from an HBCU.
The final delusion you believe is that you're actually doing anything significant for Black people, women, or Black women specifically.
You're not stopping police killings, you're not repairing the Black family structure, you're not fixing income inequality for Black people.
You're not steering young Black women away from sex work as their first choice of employment.
You're not challenging the the stereotype of Black women as hypersexual hoodrats in mainstream media.
You're definitely not moving the needle as far as reducing sexual assault of women and children.
You're not helping the Black community understand political strategy, nor are you furthering our reparations claim.
You're quiet as church mice when Black women and girls are assaulted or murdered by white supremacists or other groups.
You're going to brunches, going to the Caribbean to take pictures of yourself for social media, and buying overpriced purses and calling that progress.
These cacs are giving you these pats on the heads, a title, a few extra coins, and a white boy's attention, because that's all it takes to recruit you as an agent against the Black community.
The sooner you realize that we're all in the same boat and that you need to get on code, then we'll move in the right direction by leaps and bounds.

Grade school is so dumb for boys. They expect a little 8 year old boy to sit still for 8 hours a day 5 days a week and learn boring stuff all day instead of working with their hands.

As a grown adult I have a hard time sitting down for 30 mins at a time. I'll get up to pace while I'm thinking then sit down again for 30 mins.

Call me insane but I think the whole divestor thing is a CIA psyop. Trayvon Martin died and it started a whole movement. This is the counter that the 'powers that be' came up with and to stop the emergence of a 2nd civil right's movement. Create dysfunction in the black community by propping up black women who feel unappreciated and adding fuel to the fire of the gender wars. Nothing significantly legislative came about from BLM as cops are still murdering us. Lynching us from trees and calling it a 'suicide'. Using us to fill up private prisons and whatnot. Banking discrimination, housing discrimination, employment discrimination, medical discrimination are all common everyday occurrences in the US of A.

The women are too emotional and shortsighted to see what's going on. "I'm a Phd!", "I got a verbose job title and a shiny new desk!", "I got a white husband!" The white man just needs to hand her bread crumps under the table to satisfy her, and recruit her as a double agent trojan horse pawn of white supremacy.

Black Women, Are We Leaving Black Men Behind?

 

[FeverPitch2]

Seeee you get it!! A social rebrand is necessary.



Keep telling yourself that. The margins have been closing for years between BW and BM and every few months y’all are crying about feeling left out and left behind. It’s not BW complaining, remember that.

How many times are y’all gonna make the same threads and discussions about BW being “given” all this attention and praise while black hetero men aren’t? This obviously a growing concern among a lot of you. You say “we are in the same boat” to cope. It’s okay bro.

You also love downplaying everything black women do—their educational merits, their advocacy, their money etc because you can’t feel comfortable in your “group” (BM) otherwise. That’s why you’re trying to convince us none of what we’ve accomplished means much. When BRING BACK OUR GIRLS campaign started, who was behind that? Black women. Michelle Obama got involved because of the online presence of black women. Right now there is major awareness and advocacy going on about black women being murdered by their black male partners, far more than any other group. Black Lives Matter, another campaign against police brutality SPEARHEADED by black women on the internet. The critiques you’ll surely respond with aren’t the point, it’s the point that BW have shown loyalty and organization that BM have not. So please shut the fukk up about what we “aren’t” doing and ask yourself what the fukk have black men done as a collective for the community? What have y’all spearheaded and changed? What have y’all brought attention to besides $200 dates and Kevin Samuels?

Just keep telling yourself that we are all in the same boat while your image continues to take a hit and there’s nobody left to defend or support you. shyt doesn’t have to be dire before you realize what’s going on. Open your eyes.

BRING BACK OUR GIRLS??? You gotta be shyttin me.
A paramilitary gang kidnaps a group of schoolgirls at gunpoint and you really and truly believe that an effective response is to take a picture of yourself looking sad and holding up a sign and posting it on social media. You want props for that???
Thank you for proving my point.
You didn't actually respond to any of the points I made. It was harsh, but it was 1000% facts.
You just deflected, stuck to your false narrative, and talked shyt.
You're new as fukk around here. You're an agent and dumpster racc00n. Point blank.
It's a safe bet to say you're into raceplay, and you're most likely not Black American.
You're not worth debating. If you wanna learn something, holla at me and I'll let you know my rates.

exactly. It ain’t in our nature to sit down like that all day. And then they go and teach us that white men were the only ones who did anything worth learning about, while excluding all of the history and accomplishment of Black people. Of course that’s gonna fvck with us, and cause us to be disinterested in school.
