um hello yes i have a conspiracy theory, it’s called the systematic oppression of people of color and women leading to an underrepresentation of both groups in the media and in leadership roles, idk maybe that’s why all the 20 acting noms are white and all the director noms are men
“Yes, our image and archetypes matter and yes, our standing in the world matters. But the most IMPORTANT thing about all of this is the MONEY that never comes OUR way. The black males obsession with non-black women cost US dearly. In any given culture, the women of that culture benefit MOST when their men are successful. Even while their men might spend SOME money on outside women, the PRIMARY BENEFICIARY of their achievements and success is the woman of THEIR race. Can that be said for black men? I guess so if you count any woman with a drop of black blood in her left pinky toe, since the black race LOVES to include ANY woman of SOME african ancestry as part of Black Womanhood (which we already know doesnt apply to any ol man and black manhood). Black women dont get to enjoy the SPOILS of their mens success. And i say “their’ men because WE birth these fools! Yet WE are not disproportionately getting to enjoy our ‘sons’ WINS!.
And lets not even TALK about the lack of promotion and celebration by our men and community, that costs us untold billions. JLo, Kim K and Iggy Azalia and many, many others have built EMPIRES off of the support and promotion of black men. They all tie themselves to to some black dude, get put on and then DIP. JLO bounced on Puffys ass, found her famous white actor and legitimized herself in the white world. Then when that was complete, she bounced AGAIN and got with the NUMBER ONE SPANISH SPEAKING ENTERTAINER IN THE WORLD at that time. Married him, had some ‘legitimate’ babies (legimate by marriage and legitimate by HERITAGE) and secured her spot amongst Hispanics and Latinos. Girl couldnt even SPEAK spanish, now her ass is WINNING! in their world and has kept her career going there, even as it wained in the US. These black men allow themselves to be the SPRING BOARDS off of which non-black women follow a trajectory towards success, fame and RICHES. But if WE even THINK we should have dinner paid at Applebees, we a 'Gold Digger’.
Black male betrayal costs black women MONEY. THAT is something we need to understand……
Black women need to understand that everything black folk complain about with white people, happens to us with black men. Black folk complain about all the money that leaves our community, going to non-black buisnesses who dont reciprocate or care about us. Well…thats EXACTLY whats going on between black women and black men. BW pour millions upon millions of dollars into black male pursuits, never to see it returned.
Dr. Claude Anderson said that while the dollar bounces 12-18x within the Jewish community before leaving, it doenst even bounce ONCE within the black community, before leaving. I wonder what it would look like if they could find out how many times black WOMENS dollars bounce within the black MALE community, vs the opposite. I bet it would show some very interesting findings.
BW have to BEG their childrens fathers for child support and financial help. They have to BEG black men to pay their way in relationships. They have to BEG their adult black sons to contribute to households they still live in. They have to FILL IN THE FINANCIAL GAPS for children that their sons sire, but dont raise. How bout money on commissary? How bout money for GAS? How bout money for car notes of the cars that bw allow bm to drive in her name? How bout the extra money we spend on groceries and other needs because black males have FAILED to provide the infrastructure needed to raise healthy children and families in? How bout all the money we spend on WEAVE and makeup and clothes, just TRYING to be appealing to their white supremacists standards? How bout all the ways in which black women pick up the financial slack because black men have dropped the ball. Add all that up and i can all but GUARANTEE that we will find that dollar for dollar, black women spend 3x+ more money in the black male 'community’ then they spend with us. Shit is NOT a game. There are some serious ramifications for this lopsided reality we have accepted.
How much money do black women spend helping other black women cuz the men arent doing what they supposed to do? Helping Mama? Helping Sister? Helping Cousin? We could make great gains if we werent so busy draggin the black community behind us and a HUGE part of why we always are is because black males fail to pay their part. I keep telling yall…if you wanna find out what black women STAY LOSIN, you MUST study her relationship with this black male. It ALL leads back TO HIM.
