Say brehs, what's the purpose of black feminism?

[Concerning VIolence]

The Black Church

So that makes it a religious issue, not a black issue.

Majortiy of black women are Christians and choose to be Christians.

 

[EndDomination]

The purpose of Black feminism, and Womanism, is literally for the equality of Black women with Black men.
It is to highlight and work to remedy some major disparities and issues within the Black community, as well as the world as a whole in regard to Black women.
Sexual violence and agency are two very big topics that are incredibly all-encompassing. From FGM, which affects a lot of women in the African diaspora, to the epidemic of sexual abuse of Black girls and women that goes incredibly underreported, to the feminization of poverty largely due to Black women being the sole caregivers, to the ignoring of Black women's role in many of the reform and revolutionary minded topics (like the school-to-prison pipeline, mass-incarceration, and police brutality).
Its pretty obvious what its for, most of the opposition to Black feminism comes from male chauvinists, especially Black male chauvinists, who try to find the wildest examples possible to make Black women fighting for their complete rights and standing seem ridiculous. A common tactic of White supremacists when it comes to framing Black issues as a whole.

what undergrad class syballus did you steal this from, breh?

@Thomas is very good at unashamedly making up bold claims.

 

[How Sway?]

We need a new word for "Black women who have bought into the system of White supremacy."

A lot of women who have bought in do not consider themselves feminist even if they are doing just as much harm.

I agree bc these are agents just disguising themselves as 'feminists' with a totally different agenda.


Edit: I know I sound like a broken record by referring to them as agents but they need to be called out.

Imagine being an adult Black man and thinking another adult Black man cannot articulate a point.
I'm disheartened by the sheer stupidity on this site at times.
Ignore list for you as well

Don't get me wrong

I'm not saying that women should be silent and completely subservient as if we should abide by archaic social norms. I stated this in the op. Neither am I downplaying their accomplishments in the past.

My point is a lot of so called 'feminists' and their arguments just don't add up.

For instance the notion that black men are the white people of black people


First of all that shyt don't even sound right


Secondly how can black men be so privileged when it's just not the case. Yes there are privileges that men do have but to say we have all this privilege inside and outside of the black community is just disingenuous.

Thirdly many "feminists" claim that they want strong black communities yet one of their main objectives is to destroy patriarchy..............then in the same breadth claim that black men don protect them? how sway?

I mean if there was a strong law abiding patriarchy, don't you think most of the 'bad men' that black women talk shyt about would be put in their place, Or even led to more productive activities, assuming that a strong patriarchy would lead to more economic opportunities? Don't you think The police would respect up more and think twice about killing us for no reason?

That's why I say their arguments make no sense, but like I just said they're really a rouge collection of people out for their own agenda whether personal or sanctioned by the 'elites'

The pure passive-agressiveness in this post is hilarious.


I've been on this site for 2 years and I've never put a non-cac on an ignore list. You have to be a weak type of person to be so triggered by online debates.

How do you survive in the real world.

@Thomas is going to call you a male chauvinist.

 

[How Sway?]

And the constant attempts to promote intersectionlaity just piss me off. Other than bigoted words, a white ghey mfer could easily just go about his business. A black person's skin simply makes them vulnerable for an attack whether from a white supremacist or the police.

Lol well I know I if I were to post that in lsa I'd be called a woman beater black woman basher etc etc.

I welcome the fukkery though

Plus I doubt he even read my op

 

[BlackAmerican]

It's used to divide our ethnic group and they're already having some success. Feminism(among other things) is definitely something that will have to be stamped out in order to strengthen our group, so people who suscribe to these views will need to be exiled. It's not up for a debate.

ETA: hopefully they self-deport and save us the trouble.

That notion that Black men are the "white people of black people" is an example of exactly what I'm talking about. Its a point that very few women agree with, its not a popular "Black feminist opinion" it was a poorly worded statement that raving misogynists latched onto as proof that Black women hate Black men.
And patriarchy is not akin to "protection." I protect the people of my community because I'm not a weak-minded b*stard, and I don't need an archaic social construction to do so.
And a strong patriarchy doesn't breed economic opportunity or success. Take this from a person who has a strong understanding of economics.

I'd like to revisit this.
