Jill Scott Says Boys Don't Need Male Role Models

[Chris.B]

So the consensus is that a boy can't grow up with a single mom and maybe a grandmother pitching in and no male role model and turn out alright?

He can but the failure rate is high for the fatherless

 

[DaRealness]

that bytch need to either show them titties or shut the fukk up, bytch makes music about sucking dikk for fukk sake

Link?

 

[Chelsea Bridge]

Any boy who uses Tommy as a male role model already lost.

Agreed. Certainly in America this is true. But every boy doesn't need a male role model. Some do, some don't. Without hearing her say this in context, it's too easy to just dismiss it.

Explain why. Not saying you're wrong but I'd like to know why you feel this way

bbbbut he's right

 

[Azul]

Explain why. Not saying you're wrong but I'd like to know why you feel this way

Perhaps due to the fact that he is a miserable, vitriolic (and possibly psychotic) idiot who refers to black women as "beasties" and blames them for practically all of the black community's ills?

Because he teaches hate, not empowerment, not pride but hate.

I'm no longer a fan of tommy but I can tell you the man isn't miserable. He is a troll more than anything else. I think every young man should be against hoodrats and single mothers. Why is it so wrong for black men to have standards

 

[Nintendough]

I've come to the conclusion that most women don't deserve a good man. They aren't mentally prepared for one because it would require them to operate at a standard they couldn't maintain.

Are ya'll gonna post that song?

that's what I'm sayin

 

[Jone2three45]

Who cares this generation of both black male and female is lost anyways

Fixed.

Negativity begets negativity. That's not hard to understand. If he spent more time empowering young black men instead of attacking certain segments of black women, then maybe I would consider him a POSITIVE male role model but as of right now, he's a baby daddy who's been arrested for failure to pay child support and he's says nothing beneficial to anyone.


I would say the same about a black woman who spent more time attacking deadbeat dads and thugs then trying to encourage young women to make better decisions.

But do you agree that what he does is kinda needed? Up until Tommy came alone I never saw anyone checking black women for the destructive things some of them do
