It’s very interesting to me how Black People are so protective of the Black Man’s image, but when a Black Male bashes black women, they come with “not all Black Men” when Black Women point out the anti-black woman slander BY WAAAAY TOO Many Black Men that permeates Youtube and social media.
Many Black Men say “Well, I’m not like that” yet there are no petitions to get the likes of Uncle Tommy and “brothas” like him off of Youtube and when there are petitions there’s not that many signatures. There is also little to no outrage. We know if that Black Women were on Youtube calling Black Men apes, gorillas, and other dehumanizing names in front of the entire world then her ass would be dragged up and down and all around youtube and social media. There would most definitely be a petition with thousands and thousands of signatures to get her (or they) off of Youtube (and social media)…forever.
If Black People REALLY cared about the Black Man’s image, then they would see how all of this Black Woman bashing IS NOT A GOOD LOOK for the GLOBAL Black Male Collective. Black People would have had launched heavy, massive campaigns when these males first appeared a decade ago on Youtube (and Social Media) to stopped the anti-black woman bashing right then and there. The fucking Bat Signal would’ve went out that this behavior is TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE and UNACCEPTABLE and makes the ENTIRE Black Race and Black Male Collective look very bad. If Black People would’ve taken these steps from jump this shit would’ve been shut all the way down and not be waaay out of control as it is now.
Since Black People’s definition of patriarchy is Black Men abusing Black Women, this fuckery is allowed to flourish. If Black People knew what the fuck a real patriarchy entails then Black People would understand that a group of men trashing and demeaning the image of their women in front of the entire world WILL NOT win Black Men a seat at the World Table of Patriarchs because real patriarchs as Khadija says, “Provide, Protect, Produce, and Problem-Solve” not trash their women NO MATTER how many issues (and how severe the issues) are between them and their women.
As much as Black People stay “protecting” Black Man’s image, while these men are allowed to degrade and demean the Black Woman’s image in front of the entire world, there is NO WAY IN HELL that Black Men’s image is being looked upon favorably. Because while the Black Man is allowed to be portrayed in his original image (and while non-blacks will laugh, join in, and agree with the anti-bw vitriol), any person that is aware (which is pretty much everybody by now) of the vicious anti-black woman vitriol on Youtube and social media BY Black Men, Black Men WILL NOT BE SEEN AS REAL MEN AND NON-DESERVING OF THE TITLE OF PATRIARCH or a seat at the global Patriarchal table.
So No Black People DO NOT care about the Black Man’s image because if they did they would not allow the anti-black woman platforms to continue to flourish while educating Black Men and boys what it is to truly be a patriarch and win a seat at the table of patriarchs.-Fighting Misogynoir

Uh Oh
I think a lot of it may be guilt driven to a degree. I’ll use myself as an example hypothetically. If I see a post on tumblr that talks about misogyny or misogynoir within the black community, it causes a level guilt to arise because I know I may have exhibited some of those behaviors at some point in my life. Instead of taking the time to to comprehend and internalize what’s being said and try to recognize and amend those behaviors within myself I want to separate myself verbally from the percieved undesirables by proclaiming I’m different. I want to make it known that I’m the exception to the rule and should be praised because of it. Ignorant to the fact that this very action contributes to the very issue being spoken about by diverting the attention being spoken about, misogyny against black women by black men, to myself, a black male.
ALL. OF. THIS!
AGREED! If we as black men cannot, or will not, protect our women from such abuse, or worse yet, contribute to said abuse, then we are deserving of every negative thing that happens to us because we will never be whole, as a people.
2017 is off to a great start.^^ We have to protect black women from verbal attack, online and in real life. We cannot sit back silently or other ourselves, because being identified as ‘different’ or as a black man who ‘truly loves black women’ is only possible when measuring the actions of a black man. Right now, the collective actions of black men reflect harm, disinterest, and disrespect.
Honestly crying to black women about how ‘good’ you are is really just a passive aggressive form of derailment. Without a doubt we should be turning our voice as men toward the specific public black male figures that are disrespecting black women.
