Okay, since beginning my adventure on the internet I have runacross what is known as black feminist. These women were pretty angry, and loud (yes it's possible to be lound on the internet) brash, hyper sexualized, and less then likeable. Oh and did I mention that most were married to white men or dated them and really seemed to hate black men which led me into conflicts with a number of them on many occasions because of their negative and often, unfair assessment of black men.

I finally shook this particular site that they frequented off, and have not been back sense. I don't like negative people or self haters and these women were this and more. Truthfully, I thought these women were exagerrating some of the crap they were saying. You know, black men are trying to silence black women, and black men want black women to fail, and black men blame everything on black women, and black men can't handle a strong woman. *shakes head*


Like I said, it was a huge put off. But then when I thought I could not in a million years find a group of black men nearly as spiteful or as biased as these women, I found them. Now I won't mention the web site, but dear god, these are some seriously hateful black men. Black women are fat, and black women keep making babies with no father (divine pregnancy I guess cause god knows no man left them alone) and black women are the reason the black community is dying, and black women are the reason black men seek out other race of women as partners. Oh and the worst of all is that Black men based Darwins theory of natural selection was out of survival instict selecting women from other races to ensure that their kids were not reared by unstable and incapable overweiht black women. uh what!?!?!


Okay people explain this to me. When did black men and women start beefing like this? I'd never seen such outrageous and down right paranoid claims come from black men and women against one another until I hit the internet. The only coherent thing I could gather from it all was that feminism was behind it all. Can someone explain to me how feminism started the beef between black men and women? I'm confused like a mutha scruncher :qqb010:

Thanks! I suppose I could do research, and I still very well may, but I know there are those from the generation where feminism was first taking hold in the black community and can speak first hand as to what they witnessed over the years. So I posed the question hoping for feedback. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer in helping me to understand this conflict.
 
Sister IntelligentNoir ... Hello and Welcome ... :wave:

I don't know a lot about feminists or feminism, in the context which you've presented them.

There have been a couple of discussions here though, over the years, speaking to this topic.

To Hell and Back: Confessions of a Black Feminist

Pro Black and Pro Feminist - an oxymoron ?

Both discussions above, received lots of comments, so they may have within them, the answers to your questions.

Again ... welcome ... and please make yourself at home, because you are!
