Peace, king! In what ways do you, proud Black man, work to ensure equity between Black women and Black men, and the safety of Black women?

Even while pregnant, and I’ve heard this on multiple occasions, “I’ll give that baby some food.”
Ah yes, the usual accusation that even discussing the realities of Black women is being divisive.
Oh honey, come on now. Fragile masculinity is the white man’s game.
I should make one and upload it:
First I started off angry, but now I am entertained. Because wut?
But how can we be a family when a simple call for black men to be better to black women is seen as a conspiracy by others? And how could one expect black women to want to come together with the black men who are ignoring black women’s pain?
Hotepery abounds.
I DON’T NEED WHITE WOMEN TO TELL ME THAT I SHOULD BE TREATED AS YOUR EQUAL, IDIOT. YOU are the one obsessed with white people. I don’t have to bring them up to discuss the issues within our community. You know that wanting equality at home and at work, safety, and respect are not white things? You clearly don’t…
Nice to know that according to your worldview, a black man telling/showing other black men how they fail black women is considered anti-black male.
Black women are always at the forefront of everything Black and take all of the beatings and then have to come to their homes and worry about Black men harming them as well. It’s a damn shame and us Black men can’t help elevate the Black community without elevating Black women and LGBT people.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say anti Black male, but it is very pro feminist,pro LBGTQ. The Root, VSB etc have some of the best pieces on Black America anywhere on the internet. Its just sometimes the bullshit that men do need to be called out on thats all. Its nothing wrong with that.
But here, we are discussing issues that are particular to Black women. There are unique issues between Black women and men, on top of the garden variety sexism. Hence the term “misogynoir.” So we don’t need to extend it to anyone else. Let them worry about themselves. Not to mention, the comparison of Black men to…
Why is talking about the reality of what Black women face anti-Black male? We are always told we’re being divisive when we talk about what’s going on. It’s a great way to silence us and nothing has to change. This has nothing to do with white people and what they want.
Because most of the things he described are things that men of all races do to women.
Why would a Black man speak on behalf on all men when it’s a specific issue to us? It may not be intention but it feels like you’re moving the goal post.
Let me find my seat real quick because the umar stans are coming.
You could make the same argument about men of all races we really all are a problem.
Goddamn this was a great read.
My best friend is a white dude and he introduced my uncles and cousins to craft beer at a cookout...He also gave my mom catfish he just caught at a lake with his family somewhere.
