its a staple on twitter. somebody makes a valid, correct point about some shit and the first thing folks go to is your profile pic (you ugly, you hide your face, etc). instead of addressing the point.

weak shit to me.

Create a post that makes a hyperbolic point (Every post with substantial replies is the same people arguing, all the posts are black men hating black women)

That post is demonstrably untrue (a look at the 1st page shows most posts are about politics, pandemic, race and music)

Then participate in the same bullshit that he's pretending to decry while he's making the post supposedly criticizing that behavior.

The fact that people fall for it shows the depths this place has sunken to.
13398934, its male fragility/insecurity.
Posted by Reeq, Wed Aug-12-20 12:42 PM
im not referring to anything on the boards particularly...just recent discussions out in the country in general (wap, kamala, etc).

the male ego is one of the most destructive/exploitable forces in all of humanity. theres literally an entire genre of marketing using feelings of male inadequacy to get men to buy inferior products simply because theyre more 'manly' (cigarettes, liquor, pickup trucks...the whole gawdy grill designs, etc).

so the opposite direction/pathway is when things make men feel *less* 'manly'...like women controlling and capitalizing off their sexuality, ambition, etc have always done. men are conditioned to reject, destroy, selectively moralize, etc that. and we are seeing that play out on the societal stage right now.

that shit is on steroids within the black man/woman dynamic for various historical/cultural reasons.

Posted by Damali, Wed Aug-12-20 01:07 PM
how does her having a white husband (or anyone of us) mean we hate Black men?

make that make sense please...

if you've been shitty to women (which you likely have, with the butthurt way you post), then that's on your to rectify and fix

instead, you should be amazed that we women still date and marry ANY MAN when y'all collectively have shown time and time again that you don't give a fuck about us.

you're welcome.

13399011, again it was just an observation of mainly the VP candidates...
Posted by ThaTruth, Wed Aug-12-20 02:13 PM
Kamala, Susan Rice, I believe Karen Bass' ex-husband, is latino, Abrams is unmarried but was never under serious consideration, Val Demings and Keisha Lance-Bottoms have black husbands.

as far as hate for black men I was more referring to your initial reply that you deleted
13399013, its never "just an observation" because we choose what we observe.

Posted by Reeq, Wed Aug-12-20 02:04 PM
cuz i def see cishet (im tryna learn these buzzwords lol) black men getting a lot of undue blame/derision (the jussie smollet shit was a clear/funny example).

but fam this shit is not equal.

a dude can be a deadbeat dad to 9 kids with 10 bms...killed another black man...encouraged others to go out and kill another black man...used/abused black women...encouraged others to do the same...eat a pringles canister of opioids every morning...encouraged others to do the same...etc...

and still wont get the same amount of criticism as a black woman who fucked a few famous men or rapped about how good her pussy is.

Posted by ThaTruth, Wed Aug-12-20 02:19 PM
again I was just making and observation about political candidates on the national level and even the local level.

Aside from that world we've all heard the commentary particularly from some successful black women that there are "no good black men" available and they have no choice but to look elsewhere or to each other.

hmm, funny how that plays out differently between the sexes

especially with the loud and wrong feminists and their band leader Damali

not that i expected any different from them, they cant help it
it is as Legsdiamond said, their contradictions, double talk, and tripping over their own words is damn near parody at this point

like some joke we arent in on

i am STILL entertained

keep talking, please
13399033, black women are statistically the least likely to date interracially.
Posted by Brotha Sun, Wed Aug-12-20 02:31 PM
like out of every race/gender, they are the least likely.

not only was your observation not relevant to how black women are treated on here, it was false.
13399175, I realized how some people interpreted and responded to this was...
Posted by ThaTruth, Thu Aug-13-20 08:57 AM
totally different from the way I was looking at it...

I was never trying to imply that these women achieved their success based on whom they chose to marry.

I was more thinking about the optics of it all.

In 2008 when Barack won one of the most enduring images(to some) was this black man walking across the stage with his black wife and their black children. Then out came Joe and Jill and their children and grandchildren.

In 2016 we saw what it was.

In 2020 hopefully what it will be is Joe and Jill, his crackhead son, their daughter & their grandchildren. Then Kamala will walk out with her white husband and his white kids that call her "Mamala". Hopefully she will have her sister Maya Harris and her husband to bring more color to the picture.

Either way it won't be "the Return of the Black Family" image that we got in 2008. Black men will largely be on the sidelines.
13399182, Kamala's paternal side dont even fuck with her, for good reason.
Posted by Brotha Sun, Thu Aug-13-20 09:21 AM
Her dad called her out for perpetuating the jamaican pothead stereotype for clout, while being responsible for incarcerating black people for the same shit.

Kamala's really dont care about her blackness until its convenient for her career. The campaigns gonna be Hillary 2.0, with a tan.

It's no surprise that he would throw money at Dem candidates, especially in California where I would guess he did (does?) a lot of business.

13399100, Black Husbands require more falling back
Posted by Mori, Wed Aug-12-20 04:30 PM
Most of my amazing girlfriends have to let their black husbands shine or else they end with him cheating, feeling depressed or doing something to undermine the family unit.

Now, my girlfriends with non-black husbands, are not completely happy, but like white women, the men are on board for whatever direction the family is going in.

I think the "new black" and affluent, educated blacks still are trying to find middle ground when it comes to moving the black family forward as a team. Black women making more money could help but still the black male ego takes a hit.

Black relationships require so much healing, compromise, love, support, encouragement, spiritual connection to work. Most of us are not there. Men and women.
13399103, and yet, most Black women are married to Black men
Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Aug-12-20 04:43 PM
I don’t think any of what you said is true at all. Marriage is hard regardless of what color you are and I don’t buy into interracial marriages being easier.

I actually think it’s just as hard or harder.

13399105, are you saying your black women friends not married to black men...
Posted by PROMO, Wed Aug-12-20 04:49 PM
are unhappy? if so, how do you know that, and what is it that they are not happy about?

i'm asking because you said "not completely happy" or something like that.

whatchu saying?
13399177, pure cap lol
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Thu Aug-13-20 08:58 AM
13399187, its complicated, I know a few successful "executive level" black women...
Posted by ThaTruth, Thu Aug-13-20 09:35 AM
who complain about the shortage of "men at their level". Personally I think that's part of the problem. A lot of successful black women are looking for their "equal" so that they can form the mythical "power couple". When successful black men are looking for a mate they are looking for someone that looks good on their arm and compliments them in that way. A woman's career is not as important. But if she is also on that executive level and always traveling(pre-Rona) and always having conference calls and working late and having to cancel plans at the last minute and he is showing up to events with nothing on his arm, then the secretary or the cocktail waitress that's always ready to go may seem like a more attractive option.
13399195, and that’s part of the problem when it comes to relationships
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Aug-13-20 09:57 AM
Do you want to be married and happy or just have a business partner.

Plenty of good dudes who might be blue collar or make less but some people can’t be with a person who isn’t on their level.

Posted by afrogirl_lost, Fri Aug-14-20 09:23 AM
background. If I hadn't met him, I probably would've ended up with a entrepreneur or tradesmen. I don't think it's always about the money or power couple stuff. When I dated men who hadn't been to college or weren't political, they'd always feel out of place around my friends or wouldn't put in any effort to be more informed about the things we discussed. On the flip side, I'd go out of my way to learn about whatever they were passionate about and make his friends/family comfortable. And this is what I've seen with my girlfriends as well. The exception is my best friend who's a lawyer and is married to a union electrician. They are both political and have similar passions. This is rare sadly.
13399473, On the flip side, plenty of guys can't handle not being the breadwinner
Posted by Cocobrotha2, Fri Aug-14-20 03:59 PM
Ultimately, I do think we (as black people) harbor more of those "traditional values" about gender roles in a relationship. Maybe it's the religious influence.
13399548, I think that’s something all men struggle with
Posted by legsdiamond, Sat Aug-15-20 12:54 PM
but I definitely agree that our community may struggle more than others.

Then again.. Ionno. Show me a woman of any color who makes more than their husband and I’m willing to bet in one on one convos the guy will admit it fucks with him.

Deindustrialization and mass incarceration did a number on the black family. Black men don't have credit scores to finance their business dreams and educations the way white men do.

This has been my experience and the experiences of my Black girlfriends. It was important to me to marry a Black man and have Black children, but we've definitely struggled with my husband's gender expectations. He's one of the few brothers I know who've actually cared enough to do the work necessary to improve and keep his wife.
13399335, I'll also add that my Mom's girlfriends told me not to get a PhD
Posted by afrogirl_lost, Fri Aug-14-20 09:11 AM
because so many of their friends lost their husbands after completing their degree. Several of the Black women in my program ended up divorced or raising children on their own because their partners left them.

about educated successful women (some of whom i knew) and the problems they would run into...more than once the issues regarded salary and education level. My sis personally told me of times where she would meet a guy and once he found out she made great money, had her own nice crib and car, was strong minded, had multiple degrees and didnt "need" him per se, things went downhill

and understanding. There's some truth to both sides.

I live in ATL and I have a lot of female friends and my ENTIRE circle of black women have multiple degrees and decent salaries. They're also basically 100% single.

They're all great people but they're single for (IMO) different reasons that have nothing to do with their socioeconomic status. However, I can't speak for all men so I'm sure there's an intimidation (for lack of a better word) factor.

I think the difference with PH'ds is people start them a little later and they take longer. So if you're boo'ed up at the start, it's going to be an EXTREME strain on the relationship unless your significant other is fine with you being mostly absent for a long ass time.

13399775, post school for whatever reason its seems like the MD's and the JD's...

don't have as many issues as the PHD's

The money isn't guaranteed for JDs but it's even less so for PHDs.

>Black women making more money
>could help but still the black male ego takes a hit.

contrary to popular opinion most black men don't have any issue with a woman making more money the issue comes when his opinion is not considered in family decisions because he is the lesser earner.

Every relationships different. In some the bills are "divided up" evenly or the higher earner gets the higher bills. In some one spouse controls all the money and the other just turns over their check. Sometimes when the difference in income is significant one person may cover all or most of the household bills if the spouse doesn't work outside the home or works part-time and takes care of small things or whatever they want.



13399441, this is why i said it's about unemployment/underemployment and credit

Black people with degrees/advanced degrees love their vocabulary. They love the language of exclusiveness and elitism and it breeds an arrogance in them that makes them who they are.

Then they gotta get a rental property. Unfortunately that property is usually in the ghetto so they gotta spend spend spend on repairs and then find a tenant who will pay. The tenant doesn't pay the expensive ass rent the black middle class striver is charging like $1100 for a 3 bedroom in a crime ridden part of town that can only really bear paying $450 a month in rent, which is 30% of their monthly income.

The black middle class negro goes further in debt on a house they shouldn't have bought in the first place.
Then you hear this:

"Why do these niggas have children when they can't pay their rent?"

"Why they can pay their phone bill but not the rent!?"

"I bet they have cable but can't pay any rent!" Nevermind that the internet is basically a utility that you need to even get unemployment benefits.

"Why do they need a car especially when they don't pay their rent!?" Clearly the car is to get to a job that pays them minimum wage.

Combine that with the idea that black men aren't on board with diving into living around a bunch of white people in the suburbs, being subjected to traffic stops/driving every damn where, snding their kids to learn from racist white women, paying for unnecessary car expenses, keeping up with the joneses and shit is quick to fall apart.

America has imported more warlord theocracy from Afghanistan than it has exported democracy.

This forum has always been toxic as fuck to Black women and it is just more apparent now because there are like 2,000 men for every 3 women left now.

So the distain is more obviously seen than ever before.
13398993, a black woman was openly grieving about her friend dying
Posted by Brotha Sun, Wed Aug-12-20 01:48 PM
and was lamenting about the loss of her son, being sexually assaulted, and how her friends were constantly unsupportive

and your response was "boy she sounds bitter as hell"

bout a week ago.

Do you feel like this was an apt response to a black womans pain yes or no.

You aren’t supposed to hold them accountable.

Posted by soulpsychodelicyde, Wed Aug-12-20 02:22 PM
First of all, if you recall, she got called out for her take -- by a black woman who rightfully called that shit misogynistic.

See? The difference is I have generally seen that we have zero problems pointing that finger where it belongs and calling someone -- yes, even one of our own -- on their bullshit. Because we are not afraid of accountability.

I have not seen that in any real way on these boards as it pertains to the fuckshit you and other men consistently do.

This post/response is no different.

People also holler if someone throws a rock at them, even if that rock doesn't connect.

People also holler at unwarranted attacks.

And if someone is hit by said rock, does that mean the attack was justified?

The "hit dog" line is nothing but a weak ass deflection tact used when someone is too lazy to actually put some thought into the discussion- particularly when they use an ad hominem and are too disingenuous to examine whether or not it's valid.

lightworks but that's whatever, most people here hate me too but its an internet messageboard that I don't take that seriously and most people shouldn't.

All of us that have been here 10-20 years have evolved over that time as most people do particularly from 20's to 40+ and we all have said and argued outlandish things over the years and its just funny to me now when people are hype-judgemental on here like they don't have a history its like "ummm...nigga we know you lol"

I never said she was bitter for talking about being assaulted or her son passing away, I said she was bitter for saying Jill had sex in high school and complaining that The Roots didn’t pay her what she thought she deserved (but accepted it at the time and now years later wanna complain about it now that she’s upset about something completely unrelated).

I would have thought someone like you would defend someone when someone is clearly lying about what was said to try to make a point but I clearly thought wrong.

Posted by lightworks, Thu Aug-13-20 02:06 PM
I said talking about Jill getting it in in high school and bitching about the Roots paying her less than what she thought she deserved was bitter, and it is.

I never said and never would say that someone talking about their son passing away or talking about being sexually assaulted was a bitter thing to do, but if you want to put words in my mouth or try to bend the truth to fit your narrative you go right on again.
