Naw I disagree. The patriarchy was very strong in the 30's, 40's, 50's and all the way up into the late 60's before it completely fell off in the 70's and 80's, therefore leaving a huge vacuum in the 90's and 00's.
As far as the rest I can dig it. My grandfathers and great grandfathers held shit down and half owned businesses in their community which are now run by west and east Asians. This is the story of black America.
I rep the ground zero generation and we have to get back.
Edit: Oh yeah, IT'S STILL FUCK FEMINISM.
well we will have to agree to disagree
the continuous assault on the middle class and unions, which began in the 70s, has hurt every sector of society including black people more than anything. it just hit us worst because we live in a white supremacist society. you can't blame feminism or black women...just look at what feminism has done to the white and wealthy....nothing.
they still are still living it up while we little people continue to concern ourselves everything but reality. feminism is just an scapegoat.... you can continue to chase patriarchy, but black men will always slam into the wall of white supremacy which associates them with “other,” and not man.
remember jim crow was an entire system built on the viewing of blacks as inferior even black men. and look at the the criminal justice system today it also shows what patriarchy in a white racist society does to black men. in their pursuit of patriarchal power, many black men turn to a life of crime, and that usually ends with them becoming slaves of a white racist society that punishes them unfairly for pursuing the same patriarchal power that white men do all the time.
and look at the middle east another historically patriarchal society..... them niggas aren't doing so good. and its not because men run the show and women don't, but it's because of complacence, greed and political corruption.
the black men should seek not to rule the black woman or bail out on her, but work in conjunction with the black woman, respecting her as equal and ally
