The people who overreacted to that title are the flip-side of the coin to people who voted for Trump based on nothing but their hatred of people of color. They did so while ignoring all logic and reasoning, just because they were butthurt at being told they have white privilege.

Same sh*t.

Like I don’t see anybody…

I feel like this should be the new “Negro community frowns upon your shenanigans” photo.

But are you trying to actually connect with her experience or are you just trying to prove your point? I put my money on the latter.

If you really wanted to connect with her experience, you’d listen more and comment less. That’s what a lot of us men need to do. Shut the hell up for a few minutes, listen, and let…

We’re not centering other races in this discussion. It’s about Black men and our inability to treat Black women as our equals. If you wanna start a discussion about other races, go for it. Just not here. It’s not the time or place.

When did we start feeding the trolls?

Y’all stop taking this fragile clown seriously.

Now this is some quality trolling right here. All u other trolls need to sit straight in your chairs and take some notes from this gentleman. THIS is how proper trolling is done

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?

Remember kids, saying that we need to realize the struggle black women face and better ourselves means we hate black men.

Oh honey, come on now. Fragile masculinity is the white man’s game.

Amazingly, your response manages to make the OP’s points actually even more salient than they already were. I hope that foot doesn’t hurt too much from that bullet you lodged there.

Hotepery abounds.

That sounds like something a white person would say. When we point out how black people experience racism, they say, “this site is anti-white.” Thanks for proving the point of this article.

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…

I’m going to be honest, but that sounds very similar to the argument all lives matter folks keep using to which black lives matter folks have to continually respond that it doesn’t take away for you and to recognize a problem that affects others. It’s not a zero-sum game. I don’t if that’s hiw you meant it, but that’s…

Wonder why concerns about black women are automatically anti-black male. This comment pretty much is EXACTLY the point he’s making. Wow.

let’s not talk about colorism. I agree with everything he said. black men, we need to concede these points and check ourselves and our brothers. but colorism works both ways and the way in which black women discuss light skin v dark skin men is also problematic.

Disagree. The Root has always been straight forward. The article speaks the truth. And sometimes that truth hurts. We gotta do better for all of us for all of us to do better.

And the grays go crazy as I laugh
