Terry obviously got slid the bag/and or got the problems with his career that the lawsuit against the gay guy created, resolved. No way you go on a full spree attack on your own people like this for no reason.
Lol this has been going on a long time. Idk how old you are, but in the 80s there were black action movie heroes, black people made their own movies, and there was a spectrum of blackness being covered in the movies, not just a caricature of blackness.
Fast forward to the 90s. Gang bangers and drug dealers galore. If you saw a man that, by most accounts, had his shyt together, worked a decent job and took care of his family, you best believe he was portrayed as a cold, abusive, tyrant. Black women are still being targeted by those kinds of movies, just check Netflix. Movies like how stella got her groove back and any number of tyler perry movies showed black women that the ideal relationship is one where the man solves all your emotional needs, but the man isnt wealthy or powerful enough to be like Mister from color purple. So a lot of black women raised their sons to be emotionally attentive but completely lack ambition and discipline. On the flip side, the ratchet part of the community raised their sons to be like the drug dealers they fell in love with on the screen.
Theres been an all out assault on masculinity for decades. Black people were the test subjects. It worked so well on us it's now being tried on white men. And as soon as Latinos began to flex more power politically you're going to see articles and think pieces about toxic machismo.
It's all about having a docile populace with no family ties except to the government
My thoughts exactly.
So many people in here decided to take offense to it though. Really telling reaction imo.
It's not the first time I've heard the statement be made. But the same way a white man would want to stay a white man, I would much rather be a straight black man than a black women or gay black man, for obvious reasons when it comes to levels of opression and obstacles faced.
Yo Who man’s is this!!?!!?My thoughts exactly.

we get judged like we're some alien species where we all act and think the same. I get lumped in the same category as Terry Crews abusive dad, other no-shyt n1ggas just because im black and not gay. when is liking puzzy such a bad thing in 2020.
white men held us for slaves for 300 years.... for 160 years since then, they put us in the bottom of society so we could never advance. we get told "stop crying, it happened a long time ago"
hitler killed millions of jews back in the 1930s and 1940s, they never get told "stop crying, it happened a long time ago"
i dont fukk wit Tariq but good thing he exposed to this dude. never fukking wit him again
@ this list of Toxic Masculinity
notice how they slipped "wearing makeup" in there
Could you come with some receipts in regards to that because I have receipts stating the EXACT opposite.
in fact, we can take a ban bet with your game playing selves...Trying to make "intersectional tiers" of "oppression" when those are based on false dichotomies like separation of black and white feminism.
Y'all should be ABSOLUTELY ashamed of yourselves.
350 UNARMED black men were killed compared to 9 black women...#mustbenice
More black women have degrees...More are educated...#mustbenice
Black gay men get hired faster than and make more money than straight black men...#mustbenice
This is not based off of merit, don't get gassed.
One minute a group is the most educated (NOT TRUE) yet least paid (NOT TRUE) group in the US, then they're the most oppressed according to ONE metric that isn't based on any statistical reality on earth.
In all other metrics, black men are dead last or near to dead last....and y'all still jealous of our DEAD BODIES getting more MEDIA ATTENTION than your living ones when cops kill us?
That's sheer insanity. Oh, and every statement I make can be backed up with statistic or peer reviewed study.
Tired of this goofy "whataboutism" term and #nikkaslikeyou side stepping the facts of life because you want to ingratiate yourself with A PRIVILEGED, EDUCATED subset of WOMEN.
Trying to be on the "right side of history" and using some suspiciously familiar tactics.
It's funny. The guy who you quoted will, like all the others, spread his propaganda and disappear into the night. He knows he can't defend his position when faced with cold hard facts so he won't even try. Any attempt will leave him grasping at straws, desperately trying to construct this mythical "black male privilege" out of thin air.
No locker room talk? FOH, I hate them thinking they can tell us what to say and it's problem how we speak to each other in private. Y'all nikkas gotta stop letting these chicks think they have a right. Stop going along to get along because this bullshyt got this far because of that.
