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?

So criticism = hate. Got it. If your ego is that fragile, please either seek therapy or be a hermit. Truth hurts, growth hurts. By this logic, BLM is anti-police, film critics hate film, and I guess our parents hate us, too.

Agreed. It’s going to take black men to police ourselves and each other if we’re going to change this. Calling it by name and coming face to face with these types of perspective is definitely a start.

I’m gonna assume you’re creating a parody of precisely the problem Damon is outlining and describing in this very article and not that you actually see this as justification for “hating black men and being woke”.

sounds like markymarkmarucs3 is the exact kind of dumb motherfucker this article was speaking about

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

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 never really deal with Hoteps except on the internet, and that is still rare. It’s so maddening yet fascinating. The mental gymnastics are amazing.

welcome to the land of Hoteppery.

I should make one and upload it:

First I started off angry, but now I am entertained. Because wut?

All of what you said is a conspiracy. I’m gonna file your well-thought out and concise words with UFOs in Roswell and the Loch Ness monster. Because it’s a conspiracy because I said so because I made the sentence that read as such. That’s my only proof, and that’s enough. Also, black women on The Root are easily…

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.

Wait, wait, wait: If you don’t like feminism, surely you have no problem with womanism...

True, because the criticisms of things that a group does means you are anti-that group.

It’s really weird that my standing behind black women and our stories and our truth is seen as white supremacy to you. Super interesting.

I love your bingo card.

Wtf

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?
