It’s not negative or slick. Divisive, yes. I’m not feeling the growing “black men are the weakest link” sentiment that’s arising on social media among a certain crowd. She gets lumped in with that. I don’t think she’s doing THAT.
That said, when she calls people out...she’s right in what she says. *****s gotta be better. Gotta be held to account.
MoneyBagg & Youngsta suck but 42 Dugg a star.
I'm a fan of Jemele but she has gone over the top into that weirdo feminist BS. She was saying some **** like a year ago that straight black men are the white people of black people".
Then her recent nonsense is getting called out
I agree with some of the stuff she says but this putting _'s in the same box mindset is weak and false.
What makes him a scammer?Rizza Islam is an idiot & scammer.
Rizza Islam is an idiot & scammer.
She REALLLLYYYY said straight black men are the white men, of black people? Please show me proof. If she indeed said that, then screw her bruh. I’ll never root for her (if she indeed said that)
Jemele Hill just another one of those Twitter people who just pander all ****ing day. Even the tweet posted in here is just more pandering to the Anti Trump crowd & it doesn't even make sense
If Trump had it his way the dickhead would allow concerts this very second.
What makes him a scammer?
Keep going
Yeah. I’m done with her. Even though it was written by that Damon dude, she co-signed it. Yeah, done with her.
some of yall ignorant man. Like, in the true sense of the word.
you needa do a better job of informing yourselves with legitimately healthy information.
make it a point to be more adamant about exposing yourself to other people’s viewpoints.
its not hard to tell that some of you are only exchanging thoughts with a small microcosm of people.
what she said is true.
The headline to that article is click baity and stupid. I’m not feeling it. I know the intention. It’s meant to shock and provoke discussion. But the way it’s being taken these days is dumb. Because, social media is dumb.
The substance is realer tho. It’s an “inside” discussion that should probably be had internally tbh. The framing is piss poor. Real black men are not going to react well to that . Especially all the **** we go through (which the article acknowledges). It’s a paradox. But the discussion is real, if *****s could just step outside themselves for a minute
“And nowhere is this more evident than when considering the collective danger we pose to black women and our collective lack of willingness to accept and make amends for that truth. It’s a damning and depressing paradox. When speaking about race and racism, we want our concerns and our worries and our fears to be acknowledged. We want white people to at least make an effort to understand that our reality is different from theirs and that white supremacy is a vital and inextricable part of America’s foundation, and we grow frustrated when they refuse to acknowledge their role—historically and presently—in propagating it.
When the racism isn’t blatant or doesn’t appear to exist at all, we want them to give us the benefit of the doubt. Because we’ve trained ourselves to be able to sense it—even in minute and barely perceptible amounts—because our safety depends on our recognition of it. We share how it feels to be stopped by a police officer, or perhaps to walk into an all-white bar and have each eye trained on us, or perhaps to jaunt down a street in an all-white neighborhood, and we want them to understand how words and gestures they consider to be innocuous can be threatening, even if there’s no intention of malice.
Although we recognize that not all white people are actively racist, we want them to accept that all benefit from racism, and we become annoyed when individual whites take personal exception and center themselves in any conversation about race, claiming to be one of the “good ones” and wishing for us to stop and acknowledge their goodness.
But when black women share that we pose the same existential and literal danger to them that whiteness does to us; and when black women ask us to give them the benefit of the doubt about street harassment and sexual assault and other forms of harassment and violence we might not personally witness; and when black women tell us that allowing our cousins and brothers and co-workers and ****** to use misogynistic language propagates that culture of danger; and when black women admit how scary it can be to get followed and approached by a man while waiting for a bus or walking home from work; and when black women articulate how hurtful it is for our reactions to domestic abuse and their rapes and murders to be “what women need to do differently to prevent this from happening to them” instead of “what we (men) need to do differently to prevent us from doing this to them,” their words are met with resistance and outright pushback. After demanding from white people that we’re listened to and believed and that our livelihoods are considered, our ears shut off and hearts shut down when black women are pleading with us.”
That’s in line with Malcolm X talking about Black Women being the most disrespected person in America.
That’s the convo.
You don't highlight and use "straight black men are the white people of the black community" as the intro to your column if the mistreatment of black women was the real convo you wanted touched on.
The writer wanted to prey on a certain crowd & knew that the headline would cause more division amongst black men & women, they knew it would get them RT's & notoriety.
Get informed.
start LISTENING to people that are smarter than you.
if you dont kno any, give some podcast a shot but stop bouncing thoughts back n forth with other misinformed n_’s. It wont sharpen you and gets you no where.
