Man this echoes what I been saying in a lot of ways. First off I have been very upset by how Black women have been taking up arms against Black men saying we haven’t ever felt they’re struggle. I’m like I must be a unicorn or invisible and find it hard to believe I am the only brother out here who champions our women and their struggle above all. It also seems our signs of affection have been seen as predatory. When I go and speak on the posts , claiming unconditional love and warning that we must stick together and not be divided, they say I’m downplaying the same way as other “no good” men. As far as Parker he was judged guilty in the public and social media eye so that made him guilty no matter what. I really hated that Gabrielle Union article but it spoke to a larger problem that we have. It seems a lot victims of sexual abuse become blinded by their own pain and in turn all men accused of rape are in their eyes in fact rapist. This is what I heard in the Gabrielle Union article and in everything I’ve ever read about the Bill Cosby cases and others. I not saying they are guilty or not. Just don’t think one should damn by your pain and experience. It should be noted that the white lady in the photo worked for the CIA and black feminism has always run counter to any of the unified black power movements. On another note so what if him and other successful Black men found love in another race. We need to stop measuring other people’s Black card based off our own preferences. Toure wrote a great book called “ who’s afraid of post blackness” which helped me actually stop doing this general with people like Don Lemon(lol). We are the mothers and fathers of civilization everything came from us therefore Everything Is Us. We have many ways of expressing our Blackness and it is ignorant to believe it ceases to exist when we embrace other humans. How can we ask for a quality yet still segregate ourselves from others and ourselves from ourselves by shades and other artificial divisions?
