"not addressing our issues" is code for...."what black men have done to black women, to give them these issues...and how can black men address that"What issues are you talking about specifically. Lets not be vague and then fault people for not giving you answers that cater to the vagueness of your statements, friend. Lets cooperate and work together.
Black womens issues are invisible. What issues are not being addressed specifically. We have all day to go through ALL OF THEM! One by one.

THey don't have issues that they want to take responsibility for themselves...what they want to hear is that black men have caused these issues within black women, and therefore black men need to collectively change themselves to get rid of their issues...
Whenever black men even bring up one iota of their issues...they pretend like it doesn't exist or that it's "no one's business"...
How many times have black men attempted to address black women dating/mating thugs and creating children OOW with them, only for black feminists to be in perpetual denial about it?
How many times have black men addressed hair straightening and "hair hats" in our community and the psychological effects about it...only to be told "I can do what I want with my hair!"
Honestly...it seems like the black feminist either ignores any responsibility for their "issues" OR they want black men to be held accountable for them.
There really is no..."we are black women...and we are at fault" for these issues type of talk or discussion.
