Your point is actually a simple one that I’ve already considered. The government incentivized the destruction of Black families by offering government assistance to single women. That’s something that most women understand but we disagree about that making Black men somehow persecuted because of their sex. Black women are the least likely to be married and that is not entirely up to women. I am married and I don’t act like I don’t want or need my husband. But you don’t get it. Most men choose not to marry their baby moms and feed into the same family destruction promoted by the federal government.

Also, the most wealthy Black men are entertainers who often marry white women and diss dark skinned women. The entire music industry has been designed to disrespect and dehumanize Black women. In America, Black women are the number one to suffer domestic violence and rape and this is done by partners of the same race. There are some serious problems with how the government tried to divide and conquer but Black men being oppressed for being men is not what’s happening. Black men are oppressed for the color of their skin and it should be their duty to fight against the sexism and racism Black women experience. Ignoring that aspect of our struggle is what made the feminist movement attractive to Black women in the first place. Malcolm X understood that.

Black men not joining with Black women to expand rights for everyone is a big problem. We just have a different outlook but I get it. A lot of men don’t like to see just how deadly misogynoir is.
