Why do ya'll always do shit like this? We'll be having a directed conversation about particular issues, and ya'll will bring up extreme examples that nobody is ok with. I haven't read every opinion expressed in this topic, so I might be going on a ledge, but I don't think anyone here is ok with dowries and hymen checks. Let's stay away from the red herrings and keep the discussion on point.
The reason a lot of dudes have a problem with taking women at face value is because frankly a lot of women just spread misinformation. Black women have played a part in pushing the deadbeat dad narrative. The actual data shows that black men are the most involved with their kids. Black women have played a part in the "black men only want white women" narrative. The actual data shows that the majority of black men marry black women. Black women have a played a part ins spreading the "black men just want to be players" narrative. The actual data shows that black men get married earlier and at a higher rate than black women. So yeah, not every dude is just going to shake his head and agree with everything women and their white knights say when we know for a fact that a lot of what they say is just wrong. The Eboni Williams debacle is a good example. The chick said some crazy shit, then doubled down on it, then tried to make her comments bigger than they were and used badly interpreted stats to do it. When a chick like that says she's single because she can't find a good black man on her level, are we really supposed to take her at face value?
To be fair, the misinformation absolutely goes both ways, so this isn't just a black woman thing. It's a society thing. There's a lot of information flowing out there, and people have a tendency to just take anything reinforces their own worldview and run with it. We all are guilty of that.
Idk. I remember that TI thread about him doing hymen checks on his daughter and there were quite a few "he's just a concerned parent and it's not that bad. She under his roof" takes lol.
I think most of us can agree that ppl are way too comfortable letting their relatively limited personal experiences and anecdotes shape their opinions. Man or woman has a bad date with X race? Let's turn into dating advice content creators on YouTube and talk shit about said race to our hearts content. It's a vicious cycle that breeds resentment and narrow mindedness.
I remember that thread and you're right.
You're right. I think the Youtube and social media stuff is kinda dangerous. I don't believe people understand how much they are being influenced. Some of these dudes walk around talking about Kevin Samuels like he was a god. Dude might have had some good points, but please recognize that he was a dude trying to make money and his antics were for that reason.
I'll be honest as well, I didn't know the origin of that Phrase until seeing this. Shout out to @BlackRain for that tidbit of History.and that's what I feel like it is.........there is a lack of balance
@BlackRain just educated me on a point about being seen as a bedwench from a different perspective
I never considered the historical impact of how rape was a factor back then.......so now u have to really think about how that term is used today
however I still think that criticisms from educated BW seem like they have more of an enduring impact........simply becuz other groups help promote the division and put it on "official" forums like daytime TV
it seems easier to dismiss pop culture/music bashing from the average BM...........but when the "best" of BW got smoke for BM in public it just hits different
Willie lynch syndrome wasn't realI'll be honest as well, I didn't know the origin of that Phrase until seeing this. Shout out to @BlackRain for that tidbit of History.
We hear Black Women saying how they don't feel protected by Black Men. Malcolm X even pointed this out, so it's not like it isn't common knowledge, but we have to realize where that all started:
SLAVERY.
White Men raping our Mothers, Wives, Sisters, Daughters, and we couldn't do anything about that back then, and if we did, we were killed. That shouldn't be an excuse these Days, but we all have to remember where all this distrust and hatred towards each other started. The Willie Lynch Syndrome is REAL. That shit was str8-up Psychological Slavery that we're still trying to overcome.
no.....and they shouldn't be.......maybe for a few exceptions in the past (Russell, Ali, Abdul-Jabbar, Brown, etc)Question...do you think historically entertainers and/or athletes have been seen as the best of Black men?

and the fact that we even would consider entertainers/athletes as guys who truly represent the average BM is part of the problem today
Willie lynch syndrome wasn't real
How do you figure? The Person named Willie Lynch may not be real, but whatever tactics they used back then to break Afrikans down Psychologically and Emotionally/Spiritually definitely had a HELL of an effect for it to still be prevalent Today.
I've heard the same thing Years ago, which is why I made that correction, so to speak. For lack of a better Phrase, that's what I went with. My opinion still remains the same in regards to the Brainwashing and Torture that went on back then,View attachment 1098274
Yeah I understand your point, but the actual premise that originated the term is false.
This just came across my Twitter feed. I’m trying to figure out his endgame, other than giving reasons for him to bash black women. I see it as his excuse to get with women of other races.
