You sound lame as hell.

I still don’t quite see what one has to do with the other, though.Black men ARE killing each other and at a higher rate than any other group. That’s simply a fact. But when you bring that up on this board, there 30 pages of deflection and excuses, but a black women hires other black women, now all the sudden nikkas are so concerned about the black community?
It is cowardly. It just is.
OP was saying, more or less, black men wouldn’t make a post about hiring nothing but black men.
Because black men don’t view ourselves as our own race. Black women do.
Now I do believe that black men SHOULD start moving as if we are our own race, but what does OP’s point have to do with a subset of black men killing each other?
The black men that are killing each other are not the black men that are going to build shyt anyway.
Again, the average black man walking around isn’t a murderer or a career criminal.
The narrative you’re pushing is not only outdated, but dangerous.
We all know Mike didn't want to have to do or be in this.
But with how the community is structured, his money and name were on line if he didn't placate Black Women.
So if an elite black man with a net worth of $25M is doing this, so how am I meant to believe that a black men IN the black community with lower social standing can create something EXCLUSIVELY and ONLY for black men, present it as such, without getting pushback from Black Women and by proxy other black men?

So because “you” are not killing anyone, the killings of black men have nothing to do with you and should not be discussed?
You’re not black women either yet you’re very concerned and free to discuss their doings?
Why is one free game to discuss but the other isn’t? That makes no sense.

The post in the OP didn’t say shyt about her hiring “ONLY” black women or “nothing but black women” though. She said she extended offers to multiple black women and she’s glad they all accepted. She didn’t say shyt implying that she ONLY extended offered to black women. Y’all made that up to extend this stupid ass gender war but want to fake like y’all are doing this for the good of the community.
If y’all want to fake care about something, worry about something that’s TRUE and that’s really happening. Y’all all in a frenzy about a tweet that doesn’t even say what y’all arguing about but when you bring up some real shyt going on in the community you nikkas get to stuttering and juelzing. Fake ass militants.
I don't do bad faith arguments. I'm very directY’all nikkas play obtuse so hard its even take you nikkas seriously smh
Y’all ain’t even arguing in good faith so ima keep this short. People were making a blatant observation about a modern fabricated gender divide and you have nikkas (you were clearly one of em) trying discredit the individuals pointing and try to straw man them as being “jealous” or “weak”.
So no y’all weren’t “acknowledging” it.
But you already know this.
This white man funded gender divide shyt is not new. Nobody's even denying it but again wtf are you going to do about it?
You want to frame it like nikkas are attacking y'all for stating this tirelessly understood tactic when y'all are really being admonished for the weak, defeated ass attitudes being displayed in here. If y'all don't like being called out for this "BUT I CAN'T DO NOTHING" bullshyt so be it
Black men also have this obsession with pontificating about concepts and rhetoric all day then feeling like they accomplished something. Y'all ain't revealing anything that ain't already been discussed ad nauseam for DECADES.
And there's no jealousy strawman. Nikkas comments just tell on themselves. Too many of y'all in or outside of this thread have shown that you want to be able to complain and get shyt the same way women do and it will NEVER happen
This idea that you can't do something or you face backlash or pushback so why bother is some weak ass shyt. Those words show in your actions. Your women will resent you for it and no one will look to you for anything

But when a black man attempts to accomplish things for black people as a whole, if he doesn’t specifically mention what’s in it for black women he is slandered (see: Ice Cube’s Contract With Black America).
Personally, I don’t think that what is in the OP is a big ass deal.
Like I said a few posts back, black men should just stop caring and do what’s best for us. fukk everyone else and their feelings.
But I think OP is doing what myself and others have been doing, which is pointing out the hypocrisy.
I agree when you say we aren’t powerless and we can turn things around as black men.
But I’m replying to you in particular because I notice you bring up that “black on black” crime shyt in every thread related to black men.
When it has nothing to do with the premise.
We know there is a problem with gun violence in some black communities.
But the ironic part is, when upstanding black men have attempted to put a stop to that shyt, these same Queens you run in here to defend turn around and run to the system to shut them down. (See: the Detroit 300).
Because a lot of them WANT things to stay the way they are, but I don’t think you’re ready to have that convo.
I’m not juelzing or stuttering. Again, I agree with your points about black men not being powerless.
But black on black crime ain’t got shyt to do with the points some of these brehs are making.

It’s a plain lie that anytime a black man tries to do something for black men he’s slandered. It’s simply not true.

Just read the responses in that thread. CACs are playing chess. It started with crack, then Uncle Sam playing step daddy and now it’s in the corporate world.
You can succeed without their help doesnt matter, especially now that the internet has leveled the playing field in so many ways

So, on one hand, you say black men aren’t competitive?
Then, all of a sudden, you’re able to conveniently find examples of black men competing?
Which one is it?
Then you bring up Dr. Umar, as if anyone with any type of sense donated or supported to his school.
Hint: I didn’t because I knew it was a scam, Dr. Umar isn’t someone I’d trust to run a school.
And it wasn’t a school strictly for black boys, by the way. At least when he was first collecting donations for it, it wasn’t.
You didn’t really prove anything with those links.
All you did was contradict the main point I’m calling you out on, which is this idea that black men aren’t competing and are, instead, opting to kill each other left and right out of boredom.
— The first example you posted isn’t strictly for black boys. You can look on the damn website and see CACs on there. Try again.
— The second one was started in the 90s. Before the internet was around and thinkpieces would be made calling the creators “the white men of black people” for trying to empower the boys in their community.
— Third one is valid from what I can tell.
— The fourth one doesn’t say anything about having a black male founder.
Salute to the three brothers for doing what I said we should be doing: whatever the fukk we want regardless of the backlash (which you’re assuming they didn’t receive based off of limited information).
But let’s not act like if the post OP put up were made by a black man, there wouldn’t be some type of backlash which points to a bigger issue affecting the community as a whole which is this:
A lot of sisters view themselves as a separate entity from us otherwise the backlash simply wouldn’t exist.
You have several brothers on the front page telling you about how spiteful a lot of sisters in corporate America are and you continue with this obtuse shyt.
No one is making excuses. I didn’t say it can’t be done, I’m sure that there are plenty of black men uplifting each other whether it be in education or in corporate America.
But I bet a lot of them do it in silence and one should question why that is.
Yeah, the black female bosses I had would hire me and other black women and put them on, which was awesome. And it’s what other groups do all the time for their communities. But to be fair to the bw I know who’ve done this, they didn’t know any bm who had the background for the roles they were able to get bw hired for. Their friend and social networks are full of other bw. Or the men they do know aren’t in those fields.
For example most of the positions that the black women I know were able to hire or recommend other bw for were fields or positions that are typically saturated with women. as in the roles hardly attract as many male candidates of any race. Marketing/communication/human resources—all very women oriented professions so its easier to find a bw in her network for those roles.
I know when my dad was alive he always put other Brehs on. He had a big network and always helped both bm and bw. And I know many other Brehs that have done the same for other Brehs.
Now, I would love to put a Breh on to some of the open roles in my company but again I don’t know any Brehs who are in my profession.
I also want to say to the op that I haven’t seen any other group besides that bw make a post outright talking about this the way she did either. I mean have you ever seen a white person, Asian or Hispanic outright make a post saying what she did the way she did? Lol.
I think most groups know better than to outright admit that they’re putting each other on. But one thing about brehettes is that some have this tendency to announce shyt that really needs to be kept to ourselves, in public spaces. Things that others aren’t talking about but are doing too.
I think Brehs should put each other on, and many do—if you want to make a post about that like this woman then do so. Even if you get criticized, it’s no different from the criticism she’s getting for her post—shouldn’t stop you from doing it anyway, if it that’s important to you.
Oan, I think this competition between the genders on here is so weird.

OP, I thought I missed you but here you come on that bull again
I'm in the tech industry and I see black men posting this constantly. They are ALWAYS trying to help more brothas (and sistas) enter the field.
Since you added "and sistas" you nullified your point and basically confirmed OP's point.
I was going to post this example. You actually had BW groups and prominent BW admit they don't want black boys to advance. Even Valarie Jarrett trying to get them to understand that there were already programs just for black girls. They didn't care and didn't want nlavk boys to have there own.Obamas brothers keeper was destroyed by complaints about “what about our girls?”
Hell BW went nuts over the Million Men March. They see gender before race.
