i don't get it
right now all i am getting is a generalized scream. nothing i can wrap my mind around.
ima go watch the game.
if you would tell me where it hurts i could kiss it and make it better but if all you do is holler, i am stumped.But they could add some colorful flora to your island. And not to mention money, don't yall need some money? Yall are part of the African Diaspora, let them put their money where their mouth is, nation build there, and they can practice that polygamy thang over there with Dominican honies. How is your female/male ratio there? If it's anythang like here in the states, I'm sure yall need help dealing with those horny females
One of the brothas has already chosen to be packed up and leave, I can rightly guess who that is and I'm sure he can show yall how to 'nation build' with your Hatian neighbors
Well goddess bless you my dear for at least making an attempt and asking us what we would like or what's going on, that's more than I've seen of any of these 'wonderful brothers' on Destee
@you
some better questions would be
- what does 'feminism' mean to black women?
- what do you need acknowledged or implimented with this process, label or term?
- what are some of the issues you would like to address under feminism?
- how does black female feminism different from white feminism?
- how does feminism help the black male and the future of our race?
- what solutions to the communities' problems does feminism bring to the table?
But no brother saw fit to come even close to asking these questions, either in this thread or the numerous other threads I glanced over about feminism. It was all about 'me, me, me, me, black man, black man, black man, and feminism is detrimental to my needs as a black man.'
And then we have the few who want to pick and choose what to address out my initial post, like polygamy or the fact that brothas want Carribean honies Very obvious and not-so-nice divergance on the topic. An Americans brothers embrace of poligamy and lifting up foreign women over American black men is just another one of the MANY way to put down and control black women and to reject feminism. Not the way, but one of the many.
It's interesting that Chevron Dove included bits of pieces of her hurt here (I pressume that was bits and pieces of her hurt) because that's exactly part of what I think black feminism is about!
People don't bother to ask how black feminism can heal a community of sorrows and broken men and women, especially broken black men in a patriarchal society where anger is one of the few visable and acceptable emotions for black men but does little to heal them. I could almost guarantee you that I could make the association between black feminism and healing, between black feminism and what I said here.....
But when you reject feminism, it's like you reject me and any understanding of me as a black woman. And indeed, you are recting me and my feelings and endeavors I might have to help my community and yours.
In any case, the questions I posed above need to be answered, especially in regards to healing the black communities, so I will set myself up to answer them even if I don't share them here. If you outright reject feminism then you aren't interested in any benefits, solutions, or healing thereof.
You can do all that on your own - with your guns, your anger, your fighting and all that, while you try to relegate the women to the kitchen of cooking, cleaning, and breeding for the nation.
Feminism would have been inportant to Africa too, are they not ailing? Feminism was even elemental is getting Liberia's first female president elected, when the people saw that men weren't relaying on the HEALING principles of helping Liberia. To know healing is to get in touch with your feminine, hence FEMINISM. It should stand ahead of or beside, not behind or relegated to the back burner of black men's issues and goals.
