The problems we see today from both genders of the black community is the end result of not just decades but centuries of systemic white supremacy targeting us in every conceivable way.
That said, some of us see it, and don't succumb to the traps they have laid. A huge number of us, the masses aren't so adept or agile. Black women are the only groups of women that are routinely used in the same sentence as 'strong' and we have now conflated that adjective to black women. The white record labels approve and push songs that say that.
Could Queen Latifah get a record contract today? Positives sold back then. She had a song U.N.I.T.Y and love songs were about love, the emotion, these days love songs are mostly about what you will do sexually to the person.
Regarding brothers. When walk around an area with a large number of blacks. I try to guestimate what percentage of black men appear to be thorough brothers and its low as hell. Most are just surviving and seemed beaten down by society. They just tryna survive the best they can.
I started seeing the stark differences in femininity or the lack thereof between American black women and elsewhere. I've been to Africa. The women there carry themselves way different. They have a few that are a little loud and ratchet but its the very, very poor ones that are older and in the markets. The young women by and large are far more feminine, low key and not loud unlike what I see in the states.
Look at old videos of Coretta Scot King, and the sista celebs from the '60s and prior, Lena Horne, and the rest. They exude class, femininity and an underlying strength. It's kinda rare these days. Those sistas get scooped up early, especially if they are reasonably attractive.
There are a ton of tik tok and youtube short videos of black girls being asked things such as "Tell me something your parents don't know?' or 'What have you never told your ex?' or other things and the answers are crazy as hell. Or just a level of ratchetness that is completely acceptnable. Things that no way in hell would be admitted to publicly 20 years ago. Worse yet, if you call them out you are labeled a hater. Women who call them out are being called a 'Pick me'.
Sh*t is crazy AF. I have personally heard some of the crazy azz sh*t that is mind boggling. We know the problem. So the solutions? It starts with the men. The more men we can get to have standards, the women have no choice but to conform.
