What is this fool doing?
FACTSMa and Pa Kettle. I ain't seen that shit since I was 13 or 14.
DL is on the money though.
A very productive way to start a dialogue-- indicative of superior intelligence.
First, it's not an equivalency at all. It's a comparison of roles within very different structures. Of course, I and Jemele Hill understand the differences between being a black man and being a white man. But once you eliminate racial differences and you're only looking at black people, it is a helpful analogy to understand and work toward eliminating an unfair hierarchy.
Secondly, the statement is not about trying to out-victim one another. If men kept that paradigm in mind, it would help uplift women. After the George Floyd killing, Van Jones asked white liberals to consider all the ways they metaphorically put boots to the necks of black people. Men should be conscious of everything we do to disempower and marginalize women. All men. The point of Hill's statement is that being a victim yourself does not exempt you from this responsibility.
I know. That's why there's this campaign going around called "Black Boys Rock," and "Black boys Magic," all over the place.
Black boys are/have been an afterthought for a long time.
Are Black women doing the same work as Black men and getting paid less to do the same?
Lolz when Biden takes over, the scene when they take down Chumps wall around the White House will look like scenes from the the Berlin Wall coming down in 1989...
Good. They are literally making it a layup that Dems win those seats at this point.
Calling out Fox's bullshit - but you work there
Then, as a feminist, show me this “privilege” that Black men have. We can look at:
- Education
- Incarceration
- Employment
- Income
- Health
- Life expectancy
That's a smart question-- As I'm sure you know, a major problem with the Democratic Party's pay inequality argument is that they are comparing all work rather than the same work.
I think that's less relevant to this discussion, though, because I'm not talking about unfair pay practices but purely about the outcome. So if we raise boys to be entrepreneurs and girls to be secretaries, the issue isn't entrepreneurs being paid more to be secretaries but the lesser or narrower expectations of and possibilities present to girls that make them less likely to be entrepreneurs. Budgets are moral documents and our society values men more, across racial groups.
I think Obama's election was more impactful for boys than girls-- more boys were told "Look at him, that could be you." We could highlight 100 other examples. It isn't something usually done with ill will and women can be guilty of it, too. But we don't push girls to aim as high as we do boys.
Since I'm already talking with Shaka about income, we'll stick to that.
Among the major race and ethnicity groups, median weekly earnings of Blacks ($813) and Hispanics ($785) working full-time jobs were lower than those of Whites ($1,008) and Asians ($1,392). By sex, median weekly earnings for Black men were $869, or 77.5 percent of the median for White men ($1,122). Median earnings for Hispanic men were $823, or 73.4 percent of the median for White men. The difference was less among women, as Black women's median earnings were $768, or 84.4 percent of those for White women ($910), and earnings for Hispanic women were $722, or 79.3 percent of those for White women. Earnings of Asian men ($1,542) and women ($1,224) were higher than those of their White counterparts.

Who This?
It's happening. December 14th, needs to fucking hurry up
The historical data doesnt support ANY of this. In fact, it renders it wholly ridiculous and exposes it as the off the cuff thoughtless nonsense that it was when she originally uttered it. We live under a racial caste system where Black is cemented to bottom status. There is no "white male" equivalent among ANY of us. The comedic irony isnt lost that the original quote comes from a bitch who is rich and famous and worth exponentially more than her inconsequential non descript black male husband.. Despite being largely unremarkable herself.A very productive way to start a dialogue-- indicative of superior intelligence.

Democrats need to work up and counter this bullshit
That's gonna have to be taken with women though. We've largely been under a Matriarchy in the Black community since the mid to late 60s. Our women have been groomed to be "strong and independent" for decades much to our detriment, I think.
the shit is desperate and hilarious.
the agents and coons really have no hand to play anymore so they are desperately saying anything to get a rise out of people.
at this point unless something is truly relevant i am comfortable with ignoring their tantrums. they really can't effect much anymore besides 1/5/2021. and even if they try to effect that they will have little impact on this forum.
It sounds ghei, in fact, looking at this feed...
With a name like that, no wonder it drew moisture.I was being facetious about Black Girls Rock, etc. as though Black girls aren't receiving any encouragement or motivation.
I don't think this will last. They'll certainly circle their wagons around those seats in the coming days.
