@discokingmario1 I’m not denying that they want us gone. I’m also not a dummy. Tighten up

@Lyn_thinks And what about the rest of my statements you know you’re targeted as a black woman because you can give birth to black boys/men have you read the cointelpro files
English
I’m crying because you combed 212000 tweets and you picked this one where I was clearly being sarcastic from 14 years ago. I am not a divestor. I want ALL Black people to succeed.

@Lyn_thinks Why do you think black 🇺🇸 men are the most incarcerated people on the planet and most the homeless population in the US black women face a lot ofc but that’s cause you can give birth to black boys/men per the cointelpro files looking ti stop the rise of a black (male)messiah
English
@BrinksButton Omg you’re a fan 😂 And where in any of these tweets do I say I prefer non Black men? Where in any of these tweets am I saying anything derogatory about Black men.
English
WHERE DO BOYS LEARN THIS???
WHO IS TEACHING BOYS TO SUPPRESS THAT???
???(numb falcons fan🇿🇼)@theTommymemer
@VforVictory5454 @dalilaalirajah @Lyn_thinks Yk men typically don’t report abuse right? Abuse is horrible no matter who its happening to but atleast for girls they’re encouraged by society to speak up, whilst boys are taught to surpress it out of fear of looking weak. That in its self is a privilege wouldn’t you say?

@Uncnansii And you’re ignoring that your sisters are also experiencing the same systems.

How else I’m supposed to take this
U ignore the school-prison pipeline’s effect on us to instead imply it’s just our fault. Iss FAR too many of us falling thru the cracks for u to be this smug about ur own brothers. U think the cops are right
Black History is American History@Lyn_thinks
@WES_WorldOrder The reason isn’t because they are Black boys by the way. It’s because of the choices they make. By your logic, all Black boys would be in prison and unsuccessful. Stop making excuses for men who made poor decisions and realized late in life when there are less options.

This rly all yall care about and I’ve see it time and time again
It’s why I run from “eldest daughters” like the plague
Black History is American History@Lyn_thinks
Because baby it’s my time to shine 😂😂😂 let’s compare upbringings and see who did what with what they were given or not given.

@named_dj @NickStillHere So… it happens to both groups at astronomical rates
English
@Lyn_thinks @NickStillHere Black boys experience higher rates of physical abuse and neglect than black girls, and are more likely to experience homelessness.
It's like saying that two people running a marathon together with weights on are equally disadvantaged, despite one of them holding more weight.

Can someone please make a nerdy Black girl version of the beat it chick meme?

@Vandalsauvagex @ch3lavie This didnt do what you think it did lol
English
What are Black boys “going through” at home that Black girls aren’t?
Unimpressed Wes@WES_WorldOrder
People far better educated than I have tried to have this conversation with you, and the same way you dismiss Dr.Curry and Dr. Johnson you dismiss me, and disregard all the data that shows black males face unique challenges from schools and at home that result in failure.
English
@Lyn_thinks @ch3lavie Girl you know I can see your past tweets right? lmao and the vast majority of them are you centering women around gendered and sexual violence… i don’t care that you do it but be fucking for real…
English
@Vandalsauvagex @ch3lavie So most of my tweets talking about sexual violence aren’t gender specific but if I am talking about gender it’s because it’s a specific point being made.
English
@Vandalsauvagex @ch3lavie For any Black men reading this that have survived sexual violence, please know that you are loved and I hope you are receiving the help you need ❤️ pbs.org/video/wounds-w…
English
@Lyn_thinks @ch3lavie You mean like how yall center women and girls around SA even though males are also victims of its just that the former are disproportionately affected by it?

No shocker if queer men perform better academically than straight men. As I’ve said (screenshots), refusing to deal w/ coming-of-age masculinity misses one crucial social variable impacting boys’ & men’s educational disparities: literacy & ideal student conduct becomes FEMINIZED & SISSIFIED as girls & women obtain more education.
Vershawn Young racializes idea this in his study on black masculinity & literacy—the sociolinguistics of black masculine racial performance. Marlon Ross also in Sissy Insurgencies on “Good Sissy Conduct.”
No matter the boys’ racial position, avoiding this allows ppl to hallucinate about “testosterone” or how “boys learn differently” —-instead of confronting & disrupting the gendered social scripts & codes that mediate these outcomes. Once we see gay boys are “excelling”, these myths expire & we’re tasked w/ actually being responsible & thoughtful toward & about young boys navigating the educational space. And that’s what people don’t wanna do because bioessentialism is more comfy & requires less work.
Benjamin Ryan@benryanwriter
This study I wrote about a few years ago offers some interesting clues as to why gay boys and men might not be impacted by the crisis of masculinity we see today. The author believes that gay boys are not bothered by the fact that excelling in school is girl-coded. Whereas in general, it is considered uncool for boys to be diligent and obedient in school. Gay boys are more comfortable with gender nonconformity and this with being seen as the Tracey Flick or Nancy Drew type. One could argue that straight boys are trapped from all sides by masculinity. The social codes of their peers discourage academic achievement. And then they are routinely told by others that masculinity itself is toxic, only compounding this problem by alienation and embittering them. nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-ne…
