We are. I can speak to this with a couple of perspectives though.

#1. I'm a black male in the Chicagoland area that's getting it in. I'm about to move up to another job in a couple of weeks that if you were to tell a young Iceberg I'd be making that kind of money I'm about to be saying, I'd be like :comeon:. However, I'm forever on the grind and I'm putting in work. That said, a lot of us (black males) aren't doing that. nikkas still be wanting handouts. I can't plug you where I am if you don't have credentials and if you don't have those, I'm damn sure not going to put my name out there to vouch for yours.

Also, in teaching at a university for nearly 4 years, I see way more women in college than men. Right now, there is a 4:3 balance in women to men. That's actually the closest, by far, of a ratio that I've had. I ask them their goals and more often than not, women are appearing to strive to go higher.

I only have one friend that I'd put my name to. That is disheartening in itself. In every place I've been in the past half decade, I'm the only one with my skin and my sex. I'm putting that black man flag down everywhere I go.
Well being in the South and Miami in general has something to do with it.

At the beginning of mean streets
This to the highest degree. I didn't start this thread to bash black women but state the obvious. Someone quoted me but cac women aren't taking up their men positions. Not at a clip to make a dent.
Do you know why that is historically? Do you understand that black women were slaves and white women were kept women and the work they did was limited to making soaps and weaving (if that)? Black women have always been working side by side with black men.

I know my history but with the current times, black men look funny in the light by black women like BMs are choosing to be f'd up.

No I am not. I am telling it how it is and how their necessity to provide for themselves is indirectly hindering black males in the professional world.
Ok but I'm still not understanding what black women should do to correct this "problem".
Live in the streets without income? Government assistance? What do u think we should do?

Idk. I am solution-oriented but this is a complex problem.

My first step would be for black women to understand and not be a pawn for the media to bash black men. Take those cacs' money and support black businesses (especially black males) not Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin's (idk how to spell it). With that we can build our communities up and hire our own then it will carry on to professional jobs since we'll be growing a sustainable market.
