Some of them brehs just like to think that they are at war or at least in competition with black women like @Balla 's comment about talking down to black men.@Hiphoplives4eva @Lumumba I don't see the need for tit-for-tat over what @intruder presented. It's extremely easy for the "education"al attainment discussion to become muddled with purposefully misleading context, so if we purport to know better, it's more helpful to do as @ogc163 did and suss out the reality of ambiguous statements and how they're misused, rather than dismiss the person questioning them in good faith.
@intruder, it would be more helpful to know more details of how the conversation your friend participated went down. Your experience sounds to me like a situation where your friend really didn't know what he was talking about and was just parroting, to his detriment.
Personally as a Haitian, despite having lived in the US for decades now i didnt know the rift/power struggle between black-american men and black-american women goes that deep until i started listening to Kevin Samuels. Talking about when he goes into detail about how some of the policies impacted that community. And a lot of it makes sense and it's also sad. While i've always argued that black american women defend their men like no other against others (see my previous comments about caribbean black women), the power struggle within is real.
This woman who actually came in to argue with Kevin on his "smoke show" admitted it herself when she said that after 10+ years of marriage she realized she was unhappy because she was always trying to control him and the minute she let that go her marriage was smooth sailing
