  1. Nubian the reverse is interesting. If Black Men believe they are defending Black Women but are not. How do yiu change that?
  2. Listening is important as well.
  3. I made a statement, so can you inform me what question you thought i asked. The second half sound like you're speaking for women. Yes Troy you are so right. (sarcasm)
  4. http://radio.wosu.org/post/ohio-legislature-considers-total-abortion-ban Love the Handmaiden's Tale reference.
  5. Troy you have the situation in reverse. I at no point am speaking for Black Women. What I said was listen to the perspective of Mel and Cynique. There's a difference between disagreement and invalidation. Read the next sentence carefully and out loud. Mel and Cynique are saying Black Men don't defend Black Women. How can you say their experience is wrong. That is not respecting their position. It doesn't mean that you are disrespecting them or women. I know you and that's not your intention. However i feel your statements lack sensitivity. Zoom out for a moment the question is do Black Men defend Black Women. Both I and the author think not. You say yes, Mel and Cynique think not. The only position I can take is either no. Or I don't know because I don't know how any women feel. Years ago there was a debate about whether the Washington Redskins, Cleveland Indians name and mascot were offensive. Some said yes others said no. One player said it doesn't matter what I think. If one Native American thinks it is offensive then it is offensive. I am going to post another women's issue that White men are deciding in a separate post.
  6. No the take away is you can't hear what women are saying. Its like white people not understanding racism because it doesn't affect them. Do you respect the women in this forum enough to actually listen and absorb what they are saying. No brother the fault is on your side.
  7. I am afraid that you atr wrong. Buy a vowel. Or you a Nubian can keep patting each other on the back. And Black Males who were slaves abused women. Can either of you two spin that one. I actually commented on Nubian rescuing sisters from brothers. Are yiubyjay myopic that you didn't see thst response or do you only read posts in which you're tagged
  8. Girls this is an embarrassment. I am done. Try and convince Mel and Cynique. You don't defend what you don't respect. That may not apply to you, but clearly you're in the minority.
  9. You are projecting a fantasy that doesn't match anyone's experience. How many Black Men defended the Black Women that Trump disrespected. 0.
  10. Rap was never friendly to women in its 41 years. It has always been overwhelming male. It shaoes behaviour then amd now. Before rap was mainstream women where either invisible or prizes. Was it different where you grew up. How many all female crews were there in your hood. Cause inyhe Bronx there was Lisa Lee and Sha Rock. No female crews or female DJ in the first 10 years or so. There were a couple of Roxanne's.
  11. So you have defended Black Women that were being attacked by Black Men. We are in serous trouble.
  12. @NubianFellow can yiu give me an example when yiu have seen a Black Man defend a Black women. Not theory or excuses or rationalisations. Just an example that you witnessed. We can't even acknowledge the problem. What an embarrassment.
  13. V About defending them. Protection no we are not ready for that yet
  14. Black women don't agree with you. Why do you suppose that to be the case.
  15. Karrin Steffans the Video Vixen. Said the Rap Game disrespects women except for a few conscious rappers. @NubianFellow
  16. @Troy how can you say my question is wrong. And then say Black men defend women. Yet can't give one example. Your statement is similar to saying all Lives matters. Can you see how your statements reinforce the article. You don't see black women having concerns that extend beyond their colour.
  17. This echoes the Viola Davis conversation @Mel Hopkins
  18. You could go broke with military spending
  19. @Pioneer1 of China is a colony of England. Why did the English give back Hong Kong?
  20. Are hustlers more Black than nerds?
  21. O agree. Promotion is more akin to support than defensive. So promoting Black Female writers is support. whole saying feminist issues are subordinate to racial issues is problematic for me.
  22. Troy before you tell me the question i should ask maybe speak to some Black Women, and everyone else. Maybe reread your post about Viola Davis and tell me the difference between defense and support. @Troy
  23. China's currency may become the de facto currency replacing the US dollar. Your gut maybe wrong about this @Pioneer1
  24. Who controls China's currency?
