Going on Bari Weiss' platform to push the idea that nothing is being done to address Black women's mortality rates during childbirth is shameful. To make that claim, one would have to ignore the achievements of the Black Maternal Health Caucus through the Momnibus Act, the crucial coverage provided by Medicaid expansion for Black mothers, the extension of postpartum coverage, the expanded funding under the American Rescue Plan, increased support for community-based healthcare solutions, and, most importantly, funding for research into the underlying causes of these disparities and how to best address them. It also overlooks the fact that the very people interviewing her are central in the efforts to undermine programs specifically designed to address health disparities among Black people.

Democrats look at stats and respond to them. If they're getting more support from black women than black men, that's why they're propping up black women.

Both parties get a lot of money from AIPAC so they'll suck Israel's dikk right off the pelvis.

They go where their bread is buttered. Support movements that transcend electoral politics. Black men are making differences in their community by volunteering time and money to mentor children, to defend the innocent in court, and to make sure that their families and friends have someone to speak for them if they can't speak for themselves. They're building mutual aid networks, making scholarships and education funds, and doing other things directly to benefit their community.

The people who are the most busy with lifting up black people don't get upset when they're not acknowledged by a major political party because they've moved beyond electoral politics and are building horizontal power networks and mutual aid networks.

It's keyboard warriors that need Democrat or republican daddy to tell them they're great and matter. The people most critical of establishment politics and actually care about black wellbeing are people who we know today like Fred Hampton, Angela davis, and Malcolm X. They were literally feeding the people and providing skills to uplift them and make survival in a hostile country easier. They weren't waiting on government, they just went to work and kept working and now they're known as legends.

X was never a mayor or congressman. Hampton didn't attend fundraisers or do photo ops with local politicians. They just did what they knew how to do in the best way they could. That's the energy that exists beyond politics and what will sustain black people. Movements, not parties or individuals.

What she says applies to society as a whole.


The whole scheme in America was to use gender wars to keep Black family unity torn.

Black men have ALWAYS been vilified.
White America praises Black Women and constantly codifies to them that they are above Black Men in intelligence, social structure, etc.

You see it in tv/movies/social media.

It literally is the core of the average Black church. The pastors know that the average Black man would question motives and less likely to just blindly follow another man. So pastors will have parts of their sermons bashing Black men and negative stereotyping them and gassing up the women of the church. That's why the average Black church is 80% or higher Black females even tho all the ministers are Black Males.


Black men are murdered, incarcerated, killed due to medical negligence, less likely hired, less encouraged, etc. at a rate more than any other group in America.



Props to that sista for speaking truth.

I agree but I feel people will take it out of context. She explained way so many black (and Latino) men have gravitated to Trump.

She was pulling on a thread but I can't tell if she was holding back or just stumbling through the darkness and kind of getting where things are; based on the instagram clip.
