Black History is American History
If any real human beings who are interested in organizing a cross cultural/cross national learning group, DM me or respond below. Full disclosure, I do not expect anyone to respond but I’m publicly doing this to prove a point.

@TheJaedeRoom It’s truly just jealousy but I’m at place where I’ve been able to recognize it and look past it. We really are all we have but I damn sure won’t let a wolf in the house I’m trying to build.

@WES_WorldOrder If you really give a fuck about us, then give a fuck about us as a collective because we are all experiencing the same hatred yet gender and patriarchal poisoning is keeping Black men from being in community with the rest of us.

@WES_WorldOrder I posited a question to get you and anyone else who feels that Black women are to blame for our communities issues to really sit with yourselves and none of you can do it. You even contradicted yourself.

No, I said there’s SYSTEMIC causes for the state of Black people. I also said there’s SYSTEMIC reasons why while black people are doing badly GENERALLY, there’s gender DISPARITIES in education attainment, employment, incarceration, & business formation.

@WES_WorldOrder Still waiting for him to respond but it’s clear he wants Black women to be the scapegoat for the failures of Black men but that can’t be because BY HIS OWN ADMISSION Black women are failing too. Instead of organizing ways we can work together, he points fingers.

@tuuunnnk There’s literally a whole thread leading up to my response btw AND the answers I received were straight up lies. No one could honestly answer the question that I asked, which was what do Black boys experience in the home that Black girls don’t.

A lot of people are literally saying “yea this is what black boys go through” and your reply is “black girls don’t either?” Well no shit but don’t ask a for something get it and say “well don’t this happen to?” You clearly don’t care about that’s actually needed man

@tuuunnnk So… you don’t genuinely care about this obvious issue in the community and want it to be swept under the rug OR you just want Black women to hush?

@sportsguru2012 @nykmarc @dalilaalirajah It’s a shame because toxic masculinity and ridiculous patriarchal beliefs keep Black men in this obvious cycle of self-destruction. Yet when we point it out, we are told we’re bitches and we hate Black men. 😞 brothers free yourselves from this prison please.

@discokingmario1 Because Black women are more likely to have community and families that will take them in. Black men often self destruct and don’t reach out and get help when needed due to internalized toxic masculinity.

@Lyn_thinks Then why don’t the homeless and incarcerated rates for black men and women match?

No I’m not! I’m saying Black girls and women also have the exact same pressures if not more in places where misogynistic and anti Black attitudes rule and there are MANY Black women who don’t “make it”. What is the reason those women fail?
Ramboesha🏁@CakeJustyce

You’re only seeing the Black men who made it, not the many who were pushed out, over disciplined, or never given the same chances. They are the exception not the rule. Bringing up successful Black men doesn’t disprove the system that was built to filter Black boys out.

GOTCHA! Purposefully left off the gender part lol. It’s implied in the rest of the tweet that I’m talking about women but now you can’t ignore that you saw this. What’s your response now? How will you deny that Black women are also aggressed by society yet still make it work???
Unimpressed Wes@WES_WorldOrder

@Lyn_thinks Black women are not incarcerated at higher levels than black men, nor are they killed by police at the same rate.

How you shoot down your whole argument like this 😂
Unimpressed Wes@WES_WorldOrder

@Lyn_thinks Black women are overrepresented in prison population(bad), less than 30% of black women get any degree, have low marriage rates, low homeownership rates, high maternal mortality rates, and are lowest in wages among women. By no standard are black women making it work.

@Lyn_thinks At this point we get it. Y'all hate black men, so it's fuck black boys too. We've been moved past trying to speak to y'all or ask for help. The evidence is clear, now y'all can keep not gaf about your sons and brothers, but we as BM will seek out ways to help them
