"because you don't like hearing women say that they don't need men. Truth is they don't. They don't."
Apparently, they do need actual Black men. Look at the state of Black America now. The reason we are the way we are today is due to the lack of BLACK MEN being MEN. Without men, Black existence is on the brink of non-existence. So to even suggest that they don't need Black men is suspect to me.
I agree with the fact that you cannot be Pro-Black for just one gender. Black men need Black women and vice-versa.
Black women are institutionalized at higher rates than Black men.
Due to a lack of manhood among Black males. When the men get their act together, the women benefit tremendously. Black women's very beauty is dictated by the white and not the Black, which leads to all sorts of psychological issues and add on the fact of racism? The women definitely need help, and the Black man's role is much greater due to the fact that he's a male. The males are supposed to be the leaders of society, but as I've been saying this whole post, there is a lack of males in Black society. A lot of us -- unfortunately -- cow-tow to the white standard instead of a Black standard.
