I see things a bit differently. I start from the perspective of war. I was having a conversation wit some homies and we started to talk about it from that vantage point.
In war, the opposing side’s men end up killed or pow’s. Women and children are acclimated into the winning side’s society.
Why? Because women are not a threat. They help sustain culture, but they don’t spread it. It takes a woman 9 months to have a kid. It takes a man a moment and with multiple women at that.
Men are a threat to the culture. Women on the other hand will do whatever it takes to win the favor of those in power to survive.
If that means looking like what the power structure desires, they will do that.
Our women are weaved up, because they don’t respect the culture of their men, they respect whoever has the most power.
The hate they have for their men only mirrors the hate the power structure has for black men.
They will do anything it takes to survive, even and especially deny anything about themselves that reminds them of the men they need to hate in order to survive.
This is the underbelly of feminism. Fourth Wave feminism was suppose to be about “white patriarchy.”
Who’s the face of it in the end? Bill Cosby, Michael Jackson, R. Kelly, Russell Simmons, and even Drake.
White men’s power goes untouched and greater society goes after who it really wants to every few years in the media - the scary black man.
So whenever u out in public as a black men, having a great sense of humor, the way u move, they way u sound, your ability to create, it will all be a reminder to the public of what will happen if you’re given the ability to flourish.
Our ppl don’t understand the importance of culture and it setting u aside as a ppl.
The Bible says u will be refered to as bywords.
I had somebody ask me “oh u jus support jordyn woods only because she’s black?”
Black is an empty byword. Ppl don’t respect a culture without their own land named after them. Hence the importance of it in the Bible.
The olympics are about to start and ppl will only support ppl simply for being from where they’re from. Why? Because it will bring prosperity to their specific ppl.
No one can take use seriously when we do the same because “black” isn’t a real identity.
We have a serious identity issue and it makes it easy to take advantage of us.
We were taken as slaves and made to not be able to speak in our native tongue. Why was it so important for them to take away our very identity? Who else got that done to them?
