You realizing you're contradicting yourself in the same post? You argue about black women putting black men down, and it direct contrast to that, you are putting black women down.
Jes sayin.
Are you sure you know the meaning of "contradicting"?
Or perhaps you're trying to say I'm hypocritical?
Black women put black men down like it's free. Black women that don't know a damn thing about me show me scorn just because they noticed me. No other people on earth have to deal with as much scorn from abject strangers as black men. Black women share our history, and that makes that behavior all the more reprehensible.
If there's one thing I admire about black men specifically is their (our) ability to maintain and even succeed in spite of "swimming in a sewer" of scorn and spite that so much of society imposes on them (that is, when it heats up; right now we're in a cool period, it'll prolly heat up again tho). If there's one thing that I find most frustrating about black men is that they allow this stuff to remain 'free", without consequence, and without push-back. Irony of ironies.
My personal opinion is that there's nothing wrong with shining a light on the fact that too many black women carry themselves like they're kkk sympathizers.
(Let me add here, however, that I'm not talking about all cultures and all generations of black women. American black women of my generation are the worst. And even they didn't come up in a vacuum, but that's a longer post than I care to make right now. I think the younger generation of black women are going to be much better people than their moms, but that's another story... Yes the haters are growing old, finally growing up, dying out, and mellowing out, but they've had massive effect on black culture and black identity. For better or worse - you decide...)
...And even so, I don't criticize or condemn black women
because they're black. I criticize because many seem to take the same tact as those forces who have a "spiritual grudge" against black men: If hating you without reason is wrong, they don't wanna be right, and that's that. These "christians" have their grudge to nurse; deal with it.
Oh well... not a damn thing wrong with shining a light on it. It's childish and comical, and hopefully soon played out, and it looks bad on both sides, but I don't bite my tongue. If writing a sentence or two compares to a youth of having to witness something so stupid (while the rest of society constantly pushes the notion that black people are born stupid), then I guess I'm wrong for saying.
what the hell, deal with it bro.
I think things are getting better in fact, as black women reclaim some of their self-esteem and throw off some of that psychotic insecurity. The bad(?) news: their new self esteem and self image comes direct from acceptance outside of black culture.
I put the question mark "(?)" because hey - whatever does the trick. Can I have my burger and fries without throwing it at me now? I just came here to eat like the next guy...
Yes? then cool, I have my breathing room to get on to other issues. Finally.
