Y’all gotta understand that when you pull the “not all black men” card you’re doing the same s*** white people do about racism

It’s understood that you may not actively be suppressing the voices of black women or harming them but you’re inherently benefiting for a patriarchal system. Black men may be oppressed but we still have advantages that black women don’t have

It’s a privilege that should be acknowledged

you're overgeneralizing black men. Not all black men are oppressors towards black women, black gay people, or trans people.

And it irks me that there has to be some sort of who's oppressed the most game in our community when were ALL oppressed by society due to our skin color.

Pathologizing black males is acceptable so long as it's done in the framework of progressive politics, the parallels between weaponizing IPV to "prove" black male's oppressive behavior and racists weaponizing IQ testing in works like The Bell Curve are off the charts.

No. They’re goofy people, over the top, and borderline insane. I love them for their art but I’m not going to pretend these are regular people. I expect Tory Lanez to let off and hit a Houston rapper in the foot over some
dumb s***, literally.

what is iPV?

ok word. all i'm saying is people call for the destruction of twitter like it's the catalyst for all evil in the world. twitter is the platform, the "evil" stems from its users.

that would be like blaming the presidential race for existing instead of the people who elected our president just doesn't compute for me

That doesn’t equate to being the white people of the black community.

White people enslaved us, wouldn’t let us go to school, prevented niggas from getting jobs, bombed our businesses, you name it and these white people have done it to us. America was built off the labor of black people. A lot of whites today are reaping the benefits off of the oppression of black people.

If y’all wanna say that violence in the black community is a big problem then say that. But don’t say we’re the white men of the black community

Girl stop

Black men in general are a hazard to not just black women but themselves & their communities

But it has more to do with broken homes, communities, social injustices, oppression & years of mistreatment than black men being the mindless barbarics people think

More like we got to start acknowledging black issues as a whole and stop putting s*** in separate spaces

The however you were responding to was a bridge to the topic of oppression. I’m sure you know the definition of that, and given the context of the social climate we live in, I’m sure you know which definition of oppression I was referring to. I said black men don’t have the facilities to actually oppress black women in the way the definition of the word would entail, but we do have to acknowledge how we hurt them in other ways
