I do not like the discussion that Samuels is having about accountability, because it isn't about empowerment, it is about oppression.
If his discussion were about the great things that a Stacy Abrams is doing, and how she should be an influence even though she does not appear as Samuels may wish? Then it would be an fair discussion.
However, ignoring the complexity of womanhood, reducing her to simply a help meet, is some idiotic abrahamic bullcrap.
The fight is that these men think that humans were made in the image of Man, not Woman.
That is at the ROOT of the problem.
Is the Creator not omnipotent?
Why would we assume the Creator has a gender at all (be it man or woman)?
The Bible itself states: "
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image"
Personally I cannot invest in the idea of Man vs Woman / Misogyny vs Misandry.
False dilemma IMHO.
2 sides of the same ignorant coin.
"A false dilemma, also referred to as false dichotomy, is an informal fallacy based on a premise that erroneously limits what options are available. The source of the fallacy lies not in an invalid form of inference but in a false premise."
The only battle I'm interested in is fact vs fiction.
The fact of the matter is the Black Family is suffering.
Kevin Samuels (like him or not) has provided facts from the Census Bureau, HUD, and other sources that show where we are, and the people calling into the show share their own truth, voluntarily, for the world to see.
He has stated that his goal is to bring Black men and Black women closer together and I for one am down with that.
He has even shown that he has placed Black people together on his platform who ended up getting married.
Just wondering why you are so quick to tear a Black man down just because he doesn't share your world view.
Calling him and others "misogynists" with no evidence or proof.
I thought the thread was shut down because of bashing Black women...in reality that wasn't the case.
When we get to a place where holding adults accountable for their ways and actions is considered "bashing" then we have created a protected class of citizen, something I for one cannot support because it isn't in line with the facts....as evidenced by the past / current state of affairs in this Nation.
I myself provided facts from the CDC and folks were trying to tell me heart disease and diabetes doesn't impact Black people the same because the White man created the BMI chart...Word???
Tell that to my two Aunts who are dying from diabetes right now Fam.
Neither of them saw a real salad their whole lives.
Go tell them that they are Queen Mother Universe and to use their Third Eye to heal themselves, neverminded what that White devil doctor says - and eat all the pork rinds they want because Kevin Samuels / Black Men are all "misogynists" anyway. TF!
Anyway - I digress.
Now that I know the KS thread wasn't shut down over "misogyny" I will fall back.
