If you have not viewed this video before reading this blog, please stop reading and IMMEDIATELY view the video before proceeding. I promise you, you won’t regret it.
If you have viewed the video, then the same one word is probably running through all of your minds: Disgust, Ignorance, Hypocrit, Self-Hate, Uncle Tom, Racist… Oops, did I say one word? Forgive me for thinking out loud.
In all seriousness, it is hard to see who this man hates more: black women or black men (i.e. himself). Before any of you men start chanting your revolutionary’s “He’s right,” or “Black Women do it to themselves,” just hold on and hear me out. Although it appears that this narrator is attacking black women, listen closely to what he says. For example, during his angry black man tyrade, the narrator says the following: “Whose been raising these no good black men?”; “Who chooses these losers?”; “Most black children are raised in single parent households.” Imbedded in his criticism of black women is the belief that most black men are no good. Think about it. Who is missing from these single parent households? It surely is not the black woman. And if these no good black men are being raised incorrectly, could it be that it is the absence of a black father figure that contributes to their improper upbringing? Don’t get me wrong, by no means am I saying it’s one person’s fault over another. I’m simply pointing out the absolute ignorance in this man’s logic.
Do black women make bad dating decisions? Absolutely. However, this problem isn’t peculiar to black women. I have several white friends who are with absolute losers. Contrary to what this narrator believes, there are an equal amount of white women with no good men. Black OR White. Can we say Brittany Spears? Kobe Bryant’s wife? Silda Spitzer? So where does that leave us? It’s quite simple actually: 1)This is clearly a deeply scorned lame black man who has been rejected by SEVERAL black women and is now lashing out, and 2) Ladies, don’t date the same type of man and expect different results.
Now enough of what I think. What do you think?
