The statement Black Lives Matter should not at all be a controversial statement. Why would anyone challenge the idea that Black Lives...matter?

And yet there are people who can't bring themselves to say it or have to counter with stuff like "All Lives Matter".


Saying you can't be pro-black and hate straight black men is the same thing. It should not at all be a controversial statement. It does not exclude black women or black gay men. It's a statement on its on that people should be able to agree with. And yet look at the responses to his tweet.

In fact, the response that got the most likes seems to be "Some would argue based on behavioral patterns of abuse to the black community committed by straight black males (by and to some of our leaders) that straight black males cannot be pro-black. The same way some argue that all whites are inherently racist."

That's who yall want to fall in line behind?


You got RJCC in here typing the ahistorical statement ""nobody hates straight black men.". Nobody? You think the white folks lyncing black men in the South didn't hate black people? In an effort to be the wokest, folks typing shit that doesn't even make sense on its face and is clearly not thought through.

Even the tamer response of "Well there is a lot to critique about Black men". What triggers that reflexive response? Are people incapable of agreeing with the original point without the caveats?


I lightweight don't mind it when its an all-black conversation because you can discount it or take it with a grain of salt but the thing that bothers me the most is often times you see a black personality with a bajillion non-black followers making statements like this and their white followers chiming in and agreeing. How is encouraging the worst opinion about black men among white people okay?

Like how are you going to spend one moment decrying how the police view and treat us while at the same time feeding negative stereotypes about us. SMH.
