Low Female Participation On This Site

Featured Replies


I truly believe that there is an attempt on the part of the Racists to subliminally brainwash or program women.....not just Black women but women of ALL races....against Black men in this society.

I think it's being done in the media, in the movies, on television and in other forms.

I'm not joking....I'm serious.

Whether it's Troy, ProfD, frankster, richardmurray, (I'll leave my name out of it since Cynique would probably object.....lol) or the many other Black men who have come and gone -you have a site full of intelligent and I presume....for the most part....lol.....heterosexual Black men who post here on a routine basis and give wonderful insight and conversation about a VERY wide range of topics.

Yet you have less than 3 women who post on this site at any given time and less than a handful who have posted here on a regular basis.
Especially compared to the male posters.


I would think under NORMAL circumstances that would be attractive to most heterosexual women and even if they weren't actually looking for a husband or boyfriend they'd hang around this site just for the positive masculine energy alone.
But that doesn't seem to be the case.

This is one of the reasons I believe....truly believe...that the women of this society are being subliminally programmed/brainwashed/conditioned or whatever you want to call it to NOT find Black men attractive and TO find White men attractive.

I don't think many of THEM even know why they feel the way they do.

It's subliminal....or subconscious.


They just know they aren't "feeling" it.
But they don't know why.

Don't tell me they simply "aren't interested" in the discussions.
Since when did intelligent Black men EVER "not interest" women whether it was the topic or just our masculine energy period?

Those of you who remember the 70s, 80s, and 90s where you could barely keep sistaz out of the barbershops because they LOVED to hang around the bruthaz and listen in to what we were talking about.
They AUTOMATICALLY found whatever we were talking about interesting.

Those of you Black men who are over 40.....and I presume that's most of you....KNOW what I'm talking about.
The energy is different.


Some of you may laugh at the thought of this...because you don't know how wicked but sophisticated some of these racists are.

Women are biologically programmed to seek the attention, presence, and comfort of men.
When that DOESN'T occur, we should be alarmed as to why.

I'm not surprised that female participation is low here. That goes for participation in general.

There were a few more regulars when I 1st showed up several years ago. Thought my posts ran them away.🤣

The reality is there's no shortage of forums & social media outlets catering to a variety of interests. People have plenty choices in where they spend their online time.

Regardless of the participation or lack thereof, I enjoy chopping it here @ AALBC. I'm not on FB, X, IG, TT, etc.😎

Facts.
There should be far more male and female participation.

Well, the interesting things is that WHITE message boards and discussion forums are still poppin'

I mentioned this before, I think one of the reasons why participation on discussion boards in the Black community has gotten so low is because of INTELLECTUAL DECLINE in general.

When it comes to discussion forums, you have to actually formulate a sentence, type in paragraphs, often times do research and dig up articles to post to make your point, etc.....things that require a certain amount of intellect and social decorum so that people can communicate and get along with eachother.
Too many young Black men today are used to "barking" at eachother and emotionally over reacting to eachother and it carries over into their social media habits.

Emotionally reacting to eachother in short brief spurts of laughter, rage, insults, etc....in their posts.

Few well thought out words.
But lots of emojis and no rules for capitalization and punctuation.

How many times have you seen people use the question mark "?" when they're NOT asking a question but simply to make an assertion as if it was an exclamation mark?

Some of these bruthaz can't even spell basic words in 2026!
The literacy rate has went BACKWARDS.

You're seeing words like "feets" and "gooder" in these posts, and they aren't even joking!

Troy has established so many different "rooms" on this site that if somebody doesn't like what you or I or anybody else is posting they can easily spend the rest of their time on this site participating in another forum and not have to read or even come across somebody else.

I saw richardmurray's name in other forums for YEARS before interacting with him.
There's still a few people who post in other forums on this site I have yet to interact with.

This is true, but some things are just social and biological nature.
Men are attracted to women and women are attracted to men.
That's the way we're wired.

Anytime you have a half a dozen intelligent articulate Black men in a given space and it's NOT popular among the women...something is seriously wrong with that society.

WHAT are they interested in?
WHO are they interested in?

The reason I think this is an issue is because like Phil said in that video and what I, Troy, and others have noticed is that when you go out to these clubs and restaurants you'll see whole groups and tables of Black women by themselves with no Black men around seemingly enjoying themselves.


Who has conditioned them to literally "enjoy" having no Black men around?

Like Neely Fuller Jr. used to say, society is being CONDITIONED or PROGRAMMED to where they want Black women to become lesbian and fall inlove with EACHOTHER and then be used as super soldiers on foreign soil.

Of course, I don't believe there is an intellectual decline within the Black community as there are more choices in where & how people choose to spend their time.

Sure. Shared interests will draw people into the same spaces. The laws of mutual attraction will prevail.

Intelligence & Jazz music & consciousness are acquired tastes. Certain men & women are attracted to those things.

Intelligent people often get clowned on for being too smart or heavy in conversation. Sometimes, they're labelled book worms or nerds or geeks.

Most people prefer simple conversations & doing simple things.

Many women like bad dudes over intellectuals.

An intellectual dude who is rough around the edges is extremely attractive to women.

There's a reason the late NF Jr. didn't have women flocking around him. 🤣

Most women are interested in men who are interesting to them & have the ability to provide & protect.

The women are cliqued up because there aren't enough alpha-males to go around.

Society has produced these [pick a pill] dudes who are too lame to attract women.

When family & community make it OK for a male to be weak on any level, he's being set up for failure.

Confident men don't have any problems with attracting women.

Feminism has been around since the 1960s. A minority of Black women will find it appealing.

Yet, there's enough Black women that we can stand to lose a few. Just like the alphabet soup & [pick a pill] communities. 😎
