and who are all these influential black female intellectuals writing supposed scholarly papers that push white supremacist ideology disguised as women's rights philosophy? lol
that said, how am i arguing something different? lol expound. my initial point and what i continue to argue is that both blk men and blk women have been guilty of perpetuating white supremacists talking points and siding with white supremacist. perpetuating misogyny and patriarchy qualifies because it serves to subjugate and dehumanize blk women and women in general
and no you didn't say that feminism is the same as white supremacy. but you suggested as much when you claim within the movement there is A LOT lot of "truth" being put out there that really is just a demonization of black men
Rappers are influential, but no one with any sense is looking to rappers for insight on sociological matters. And religious institutions are shifting with the times too. Previously, women couldn't hold any positions of leadership over men in most churches. Nowadays, it's not that uncommon to see women as the heads of churches. Not to mention that almost every church has instituted positions such as deaconesses that allow women to hold positions of authority in the church. Either way neither of those is the same as scholar using bad stats and bad science to try and add legitimacy to sterotypes.
Any feminist that has quoted bullshit stats or unsubstantiated characterizations of black men to explain some ill in the community. It's not necessarily a paper but check this article.

It's about an interview with bell hooks. She claimed that black males were violent because they were disproportionately sexually abused claiming (with no proof) that sexual abuse is more rampant among black men. Now I've read some from her, and I don't think she's bad at all, but this just goes to show how pervasive making unsubstantiated claims to explain things with black males is in feminism.
The difference between what you and I are saying is that you keep coming up with statements made by random dudes here and there. I'm talking about a movement that is at least partially based on explaining the hardships black women face by shifting blame to black men. As far as I know, no black male scholars do that to black women. There is no black male movement that uses that tactic. Yes, there are men that promote white supremacy, but, as far as I know, there is no organized ideology that black men are pushing that throws black women under the bus using white racist rhetoric.
As for your last statement, if the shoe fits... I'm not saying black feminism is the same thing as white supremacy, but if its a fact that black feminists knowingly use bad data, stereotypes, and other ill logic all to tear black men down, how am I wrong for pointing that out. Do you know how many times I've heard feminists claim that black men are the leading cause of death for black women? That's about as big a lie as is possible, yet it's promoted like it's God's truth.
blk feminism is not inherently anit-blk men
i get where u are coming from though...
i'm not the biggest fan of bell hook's ideas and there are ppl spreading misinformation unchecked. but i think you are overstating their influence and or following
that said, i'm not just coming up with random statements made by niggas on the IC. what a lot of men fail to acknowledge, is our society, world by default is anti-woman. and by extension anti-blk woman.
women don't make good leaders. women are devious. women cannot think for themselves. women don't know what is best. women who don't act like "ladies" should expect to be disrespected. feminism is only for white women. blk women are irresponsible mothers. women can't raise men. most blk women are welfare queens, hood rats, birds, etc. rhetoric i hear in barber shops, family gatherings, work,media, music etc from blk men. much of the same rhetoric i hear from white male politicians to justify cuts made to the social safety net only to give the money to a military contractor. rhetoric the alt right uses to recruit. we know who tommy sotomayor and tariq nasheed for a reason. these men have large followings
yes we live in a world that is largely blk ppl, and blk men have had to pay for that with their lives. but blk women shouldn't have to always choose our race over our gender at our own expense
This idea only works in a world where racism doesn't exist. What some sistas don't understand is that by and large other race women only fuck with yall when it benefits them. This has been historically proven time and time again. Yall are used by other women to get their numbers up but they are not so fast to come to your aide. What did your so called sisters in feminism do with #blackgirlsrock? I remember how all the other races of women called my sistas fat and big lipped. Brothas stood up and said fuck them we love our volumptious women. Then guess what happened? Butt injections, lip injections etc. Now those women are buying the black womans natural beauty after she has been torn down by them so much that she rejects it herself.
And here's another thing that may be hard to believe; other race men dont fuck with us like that either. This is what we keep trying to get through to yall. We have no choice at the moment but to be race focused so that we can succeed together. Aint nobody really trying to fight our fight. Shit mostly be about fb likes and retweets. Again to their vain benefit. You may think other races are gender focused but fuck with their women and children and see what happens. We the only group doing this shit.
Yall keep trying to seperate yourselves from us and honestly the shit hurts our community in the end. We get shit on by everybody including our own women. Yeah there are black men out there on the same bullshit but they are the minority and get checked. You see tommy got his ass socked for that. I see the female versions of him go untouched and hell often supported by our women. We in this together yet we choose to keep moving away from each other.
Smh, everytime I try to leave this thread keep calling me back.
The bold is the stone cold truth
