Too many fukkin facts!!Kev said it best, we the only group in this county doing things backwards. You see other groups with a survival mindset where the man may cut grass for a living, and the wife sells tacos out of her car, but they grind together and eventually that cutting grass turns into a landscaping company and the tacos turn into a food truck or restaurant. This happens because these other groups see each other as two parts to the larger puzzle, while black men and women see each other as competition. And to be honest black women see black as competition, Black men dont see black women as competition, black men are more so worried about protecting themselves and not getting 'screwed' to the point we handle women with a big sense of paranoia because we are always asking ourselves does this women really love us or are we a lick. This is why we are always trying to one up each other.
I forgot to mention about black women competing with black men.
The women have been saying this for years, but I have not seen a tweet, I have not seen a youtube video, I have not seen anything on a forum, and I haven’t heard anything in person about a black man competing with women and talking down on them with their accomplishments.
I haven’t ever heard a black man say I have more education than you, more money than you, etc.
That’s honestly a feminine trait to compete with women and I haven’t seen it.
But with black women it’s the opposite, I always hear them talk down on black men who don’t have what they have and even make fun of dudes who focused on trades and didn’t go to college, even if those dudes make more money than them.
They say black men are trying to compete with black women instead of other races of men because we’re “weak”, but I only see this from black women constantly.
Black men would wife up any decent looking, tolerable black woman no matter how much she’s struggling.
So I never understood where the competition bullshyt came from.
