I’m not listening to any person in their 20s wearing my 10th grade wardrobe. Bye! I should step up and show yall how to properly do Y2K fashion. 👋🏾

It’s so crazy when someone black you respect suggest you listen to a Snoh Aalegra song and then will get mad at you and you’re not moved now I’m disappointed and don’t trust your taste anymore ☹️

This is why people who haven’t aggressively unpacked Abrahamic conditioning can’t be trusted to make sober rational decisions. “Maybe people shouldn’t have kids” is just sins of the flesh more secularized. More civilized/vs nature argument. We will never conquer nature. We need

accept that people fuck and breed like animals and morality is not the solution. Infrastructure IS!

People be like…. Blame parents don’t fix poverty and institutional neglect that make good parenting impossible. I haven’t read enough to understand the issues. But ima bring my ass opinion anyway. My solution a caste system where only certain people I deem worthy have kids.🤣

Bunch of nut cases. It’s very clear how we got here!

These blame the parents posts frustrate me because I enjoy reading sociologists and understand all social issues are structural never personal. Blaming parents won’t fix a damn thing, matter fact it will make this worse.

Unfortunately this is another irrational take as the biological urge to fuck overrides this. BW were already sterilized. We are animals not humans. We need infrastructure that guarantees a person has chance at life regardless of parental status. Anything else is a caste system.

I can’t stand people who try to have conversations beyond their depth. Then run when they can’t argue their moot points. Go play in the sandbox silly heffa. Let the adults deal with adult issues.

I need to do more study on this because as much as I complain about who BA men have pushed BW out of music spaces and erased our history Jamaican women have had it worse!
Listening to female dancehall artists from the 90s. The girls were (and are) so talented. Its time to remove JAn men from the dancehall scene and let the women lead the way.

There is history to this. It’s was Jewish families who owned many of the early theaters and speakeasy’s in NYC in the early 20th century. Entertainment has long been a labor pipeline Jewish people discovered when they were discriminated in other sectors. This goes waaaay back.

And the slave has always been Americans favorite form of entertainment. It’s actually genius if you ask me. The way they were able to get into the industry early owning theaters and venues and subsidize their own economic displacement with black art.

They’ve have had a grip on this industry for over 100 years. While the average black musician is completely ignorant to mechanics of their surroundings and is just happy to make the rent. The head start over us is why black capitalism in lieu of reparations is not working.

Lots of this happening in the Jazz world too. The genre is less popular but the Jazz infrastructure is heavily enmeshed with funding from Israeli patrons and venue owners.
When I think of all the great hip-hop we missed out on because of Jimmy Iovine and Liar Cohen. Smhhh

Financial Independence for women also means we don't have to pretend not to care about looks anymore, and man oh man do the men not like THAT.

I can’t get over Javits father saying his son hardly spoke, he would go into his room and be on his phone day and night. Seems like he had no idea what was going on till the school called. All that time to intervene was wasted! This is why I damn near stalk my child. I’m obsessed

I’m also not constantly overly stressed about bills, and her father is a good earner. That’s important. I’m not rich but capitalism isn’t sucking all my parental capacity.

Javits busy single father who seemed disconnected from his daily affairs. Javits shot by a boy, bullied by boys. A man didn’t even bother to call 911 and save Javits life because he thought his situation was more urgent than him bleeding out on the ground. The issue is men!

Halle’s son is older and can speak for himself. He chose his father she didn’t lose. For younger kids the mother who usually has less resources can’t endure a years long expensive custody battle. Fathers win because mom’s abscond. Moms often stop fighting that’s why men win.
This is an example of what that other person said re: if you let Marc speak long enough you’ll know why he fits right in with those niggas. Statistically the courts favor men in custody battles when men actually fight for custody (70 to 90% rate!).
