THIS IS PART OF A ARTICLE THAT I FOUND TO BE SO DISTURBING, EVEN THOUGH WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS OF LOOKING AT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD, I TOOK THE LIBERTY TO START THIS DISCUSSION FOR OUR OWN CLARITY, TELL US HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HOW BLACK MEN ARE BEING ACCUSED OF TURNING THEIR BACKS ON THEIR BLACK WOMEN AND HOW HAS THIS AFFECTED OUR CHURCH? AS A WOMAN I SEE A LACK OF MEN, MY CHURCH IS NOT FILLED WITH MEN, BUT WITH WOMEN AND CHILDREN!!! SO AS FOR ME I BELIVE THAT THE ROLES ARE REVERSED FOR A REASON, FOR IN THE LAST DAYS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS PREDICTED.....
Some Thoughts on Choosing Sides or The Ongoing Betrayal of Black Women by Black Men
Via Celie’s Revenge: Radical Feminist Jurisprudence!
It seems like a dated concept, us being I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T women and all, but if hip hop and Black pop cultural representations of Black men and women are any indication, it appears that Black men feel a rampant need to restore some lost sense of manhood and control. But whatever Black men have lost, it was lost because of white supremacy, not because of Black women’s strength: our strength kept and keeps Black men alive.
If our strength and success as Black women is not the strength and success of Black people, what is it? The answer is always the same, and our own cultural entertainment and media reflects that answer: Black women’s empowerment emasculates Black men. There is no possibility that self-respecting, non-homophobic, and woman-respecting role models will emerge for Black men when the media and other cultural products are more concerned with demonizing and dethroning Black women (now where did I put that crown?) than it is with wrestling down white male power. The proliferation and consumption of pornographic images of Black women by Black men, the ongoing sexual harassment we experience in public spaces, and the multitude of other misogynistic indignities we face daily as women are just some of the conditions that speak to a Black male project to put Black women in their place–in the place white men put Black men, with hatred of women folded in. Their vision for our freedom really means their freedom. That vision is nothing more visionary than them as strong fathers and us as sexy mamas. And I have no interest in being anybody’s sexy mama!
END.
NOW AS A BLACK MAN! TELL US YOUR TAKE ON THIS! WE KNOW THAT AS A BLACK CHRISTIAN MAN YOU HAVE TO FACE THE WORLD AND FORGET SOMETIMES WHO YOU ARE REPRESENTING, AS A CHILD OF GOD WE MUST ALL COME TOGETHER FOR UNITED WE CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING AS A WHOLE, HUMAN RACE. WHAT THE WORLD HAS MADE OF US IS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT AND WHO GOD SAID THAT WE ARE TO BE. WE MUST EXERCISE DOMINION IN THIS EARTH.
TELL ME HOW ARE WE EXERCISING DOMINION IN A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE ARE MEARLY WALKING AROUND DARK, BLINDED TO THEIR OWN IDENTITY? I GET UPSET TO SEE THE FASHION IN WHICH WOMEN ARE VIEWED IN THE MEDIA, MY BROTHERS ARE TARGETS OF A RACIST SOCIETY BECAUSE OF THEIR INABILITY TO BE A DRIVING FORCE....THEY INSTEAD FOLLOWERS OF THE JONES'S THEY ARE LOUD AND INCONCIDERATE OF WHAT WAS THE WORLD.....I WAS ONCE LOST BUT NOW I AM FOUND, ARE YOU TRULY FOUND/ OR ARE YOU HANGING ON THE FENCE?
SHOW YOUR LOVE FOR THE POWER, THE AUTHORITY THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!! SPEAK UP BROTHERS!!! TAKE A STAND!!!
