I see. That's true...although your Dad did not make the rules (or even agree with them) he still benefitted as a Man...just like I do in many ways today. So I can acknowledge that much. Where I draw the line is a Black Woman pointing at me like I made the rules while not only saying nothing to the White Man...but telling me I need to be just like the White man or worse yet...going over there and submitting to a White man in ways she never would submit to me...even showing contempt for me because I'm not as successful as the White man in the White mans world.
The Black family survived slavery, Jim Crow, Civil Rights, but as soon as the Government started that integration and welfare BS, it was the start of the ending for us. White men became the Daddy. Black women aint wearing weaves for us LMAO! I dont know any Black man that likes weaves.
Anyway, I just want to see Black Men and Black Women kill all the noise and get back together in positive healthy long lasting relationships based on mutual respect and understanding.
Samuels is doing great work to bring that dream to reality IMO.
Oh what a world it would be if these Black Pastors and Preachers held the same regard for our people.
The Black Church has failed us miserably.
That tubal ligation thing? Still in effect today. A woman has to jump through hoops in order to get one, unless she is over the age of when a pregnancy would be considered High Risk.
How Samuels speaks, is counterproductive. All he is doing is speaking to more male domination. If we were to eliminate all white people today, Black women would still be catching hell due to the system of patriarchy left behind. In order to truly beat white male supremacy, we must totally cast out all things representing whatever white men held dear, and that also means the position for which we hold women. This means to move completely away from anything associated with abraham, and his god. This means any references, any pseudo scientific theories regarding a woman's strength, intellectual prowess or otherwise., all must go.
Women should own their own bodies, create their own laws governing themselves, then being able to have the right to choose who they want to be with, and how they wish to appear, or behave. This means any time, or at any place. Only women should be able to determine who, how, and what that may be.
This includes her wanting to be unmarried, or married to as many men as she wants to be involved with.
This is how it used to be, before Man ever appeared on this planet.
If we are to be unified as Black Woman and Man? Complete autonomy for Black women, is the only way for Black people to completely erase the burdens of the past.
Just a note, the High Priestesses tried to warn the leaders on the west coast of Africa about what was to come. Since patriarchy had begun to permeate many tribes, those priestesses were ignored in favor of some very inexpensive material items.
Black women, are still trying to save us.
