Kevin Samuels Discussion Thread

[The Darkness]

“Incredible mistreatment” over the past three centuries, Moynihan continued, had forced Negro families in the United States into a “matriarchal structure.” This was not necessarily a bad thing, he added, but because such a structure was “so out of line with the rest of the American society,” it “seriously retards the progress of the group as a whole, and imposes a crushing burden on the Negro male and, in consequence, on a great many Negro women as well.” American society “presumes male leadership in private and public affairs…. A subculture, such as that of the Negro American, in which this is not the pattern, is placed at a distinct disadvantage.”

A consequence of these trends, Moynihan emphasized, was a “Startling Increase in Welfare Dependency” among American Negroes. Largely because of broken families, he wrote, 56 percent of nonwhite children received means-tested public assistance at some time in their lives under the nation’s Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program, which mainly assisted female-headed families. By contrast, this figure was 9 percent among white children. Stunned to discover that the number of new AFDC cases opened for nonwhites was increasing even as nonwhite male unemployment rates in the prosperous early 1960s were slowly decreasing, he speculated that something deeper than economic hardship alone was beginning to damage lower-class black families, which were falling apart even as the overall economy was exhibiting vibrant growth.

Alot of black women don't even like us outside of the same superficial reasons non BLK women do

That's why it's really #SYSBM out here

Thanks to the Coli to putting me on to this brother I gave out a shytload of daps in this thread I find it fascinating as a BLACK MAN if yo take pride in your appearance "You are closet gay" If you hold black women accountable"Who hurt you?/Ya Mama"

Black Men we got to continue to work on linking up and seeing each others as brothers and not competition because sadly in 2020 its pretty goddamn clear all we got is us!

Nah here you go with that bullshyt regarding the gay stuff. I can see how dude gets called gay and it don't have shyt to do with taking pride in your appearance. Dudes has that "gay" cologne dude at the high end store vibe that's why some might say it. Its a lot of black men that take pride in their look that cats aren't saying gay so stop that bullshyt fam.

I agree with this but I also feel if you're trying to get your point across you shouldn't be as harsh. That's what chicks do IMO when they just want to "tell the truth" and we all know folks aren't going to pay that shyt no attention even most of us if that style was directed at us. That's my only criticism of that style when you're really trying to get your message across and not just trying to be right.

[philmonroe]

Baiscally but we online so cats can say things here that offline you going to start looking so them. Reminded me of one time my man clowned another cat we know because the first dude was talking about how to get girls. My man was like but you don't get no girls so fukk you know about that. Dude was silent but online you can say things without having your credibility checked that offline someone might pull your card.

This is the cliff notes version she laid out years ago. And goes over why she quit her match making business due to female clients delusions.

yeah, I've been known as someone who can dress, and in style young people aren't rocking Jordans lol. They are wearing yeezys and designer stuff. The "Pull ya pants up, stop wearing jordans and fitted hats" is old man talk because people dont even dress like that really any more. I'm in tech, suits are not needed at all, CEOs aint even wearing suits. This is why being in shape and taking care of your skin and hair trumps all

 

[Savvir]

So I man likes to be clean cut and dress well and he’s not from Harlem

you one of them cats that look at those flamboyant preachers who get accused of taking young boys booty and you just cant believe people would think they gay huh?
