Better ways

Slavery can be blamed for a LOT , slavery never went away, it just got made legal through the jail systems. Once you are IN the system you don't get out. Through the systematic removal of the Black man as the central piece of the black family they effectively created an image of a weak man unable to lead and take care of his family, add in government assistance programs and you create a dependency in the women FURTHER lowering the Man as that provider and leader. Bring in feminist and lure the Black woman into a cause that's not theirs and widen the division. Still while jailing black men grows (legal slavery) corral blacks into science "projects" and place everything they need to kill themselves into the lab rat cage and sit back and watch.

Everything can be traced back to slavery in my opinion, black men and women of America are mentally traumatized, in an identity crisis and programmed to hate each other. We became test subjects after they couldn't just get rid of us. Just my thoughts though. Carry on brothers.

.I lost despite my upbringing, in a struggle to fit in to be accepted as a "real nigga" while being ridiculed for being smart, being accused of "acting white" just because I made good grades and spoke proper English. My mother telling me to be better than what is is expected of a young black man and my WRONG friends wanting me to be just like them. My Father showed me how to be a grown man and I can't lie, I did everything BUT that. I was headed to the prison based off the things I was doing. But it took a few scares and a few friends getting jail sentences for me to WAKE UP. I struggled transitioning from hustling fast money to legit jobs.

Folks don't understand that you can't lead a person out of darkness when they don't know the lights are off. Just like you can't free a slave that doesn't know he is still in shackles. We are in mental shackles these days. Some of us are free and trying to point fingers and ridicule the lost, they won't change unless we can turn on the lights. Pointing fingers and casting blame just causes fights rather than teach or reach. A person drowning in ignorance will fight to stay ignorant if they don't know any better. You end up spending time arguing a person standing still instead of taking them along on your side towards better ways. 

Black identity crisis

When black people say that black women are the most beautiful women in the world........that's their opinion and it's not throwing other races under the bus. And why shouldn't black people think otherwise. As far as black women wearing weave and other accessories to appear more European, we gotta realize how badly we all (men and women) have been brainwashed to think our own features are bad. Back then black men were even perming their hair to straighten it. We've all fell victim to the "white is right" mentality. There are so many cases of men and women bleaching their skin and doing everything to appear LESS than what they were born as many of us even speak differently around others. And then our own people will accuse us of "sounding white" when it happens but it's just proper English. We are even ridiculed for getting good grades and trying to give ourselves a better chance to succeed in the world we live in which was obviously not designed to allow us the freedom to do so. Crabs in a bucket mentality runs wild in our communities. Why? We have been conditioned to perpetually keep each other down.

The mental damage is much deeper than folks understand, we live in a world (America) where Black men and women are having a daily identity crisis, we're all mentally traumatized and for some the cycle never ends and is carried on to the children. To the point where we name our children whiter names so they won't be bypassed when turning in job applications. So many things play a part in why we are so mixed up today.

And we fight each other constantly, some to prove who's blacker, more conscious, more of a "real nigga" prettier, smarter and so on. Time to wake up. We didn't start the sickness we all suffer from but we can end it.

We need to come together

Masculinist = feminist with dicks........two extremist groups that do nothing but divide the genders that were BUILD to work together. But not many see that.

And as far as the black community, I submit to the MGTOW black men, if the black women joining the feminist movement damaged our community and social dynamic so much and you believe it as fact, why in the heck would you join an similar movement when we have yet to fix the problems that the first mistake made? Seems illogical and history will repeat itself.

We have too much to lose by further spreading ourselves thin with movements that we don't need to get involved in.

You want to fix the black family? You must work on THAT not "go your own way"

You want to keep our brothers out of the system that's not created to benefit us? Then you educate other brothers AND the sistas so they both know it does more damage than good to the whole family unit.

You want to correct the wayward behavior of our men and women? STAY and show them you care enough to not give up on them. Pull these young men and women out of the streets and awaken them. Stop bashing each other into a deeper sleep.

Acting like a pit of wolves that will eat each other rather than find a way out just keeps us all destined for failure.
