Notice how the Black man is insulted, but there is not any sympathy for the violence against him, but the ruined day of the white woman. Reading the comments & sympathies for the unassaulted ww is illuminating. This is how dehumanization operates.
Superintendent Rainey Briggs was attacked during the Baraboo High School graduation. The unnamed attacker, was a “father” who didn’t want his graduating daughter to shake the hand of a Black man, so he ruined her moment
That’s racism for you in 2024

I have written about this extensively. The sexual assault of Black men & boys by police remains an unaddressed problem in the fight against police violence.
Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) molested 74 (SEVENTY FOUR) Black men. Those are just the ones that came forward. No other Race/Ethnicity of men came forward. Listen to them describe the details.
No one lynched Karens, cut off Karen's genitalia, raped Karens, segregated Karens, not hired Karens, locked Karens up in prisons, shoot Karens in the streets just because she is Karen.
Not a lie was told. The academic research on Black male voter behavior, Black male political attitudes, & Black male disadvantage support what he is saying. Blk scholars are critical of white liberalism until elections; BM are not falling for Blk elite propaganda.
This is such a dangerous pop culture articulation of Black male mental health issues. Pathologizing & speaking down to patients struggling to find words for trauma is not best practice in any literature I have read. This shaming tactic is why many BM don't pursue therapy.
So what? The way white ppl speak a/b & towards Blk ppl is so damn condescending. You are asking ppl to condemn a BM who escaped slavery. U do not know his circumstances, or if he was forced to be a breeder, or the conditions of his marriage.
this post noticeably fails to mention that after he became a free man, Brown was given the opportunity to buy his wife and 3 children out of slavery….. and refused.
the optics were so bad that the abolitionists tried to keep it a secret.
he then went on to marry a white woman.
In graduate school, I wrote a paper on DuBois, Hegel, and Bacofen. The white philosophy professor told me that he would only grade the section on Hegel b/c DuBois was not philosophy.
Why do we assume that white philosophers, theorists, and Social scientists did not want to bring evil into the world...why is racism a contradiction to their work rather than a projection of the inequality they desired.
Yet when I discuss the misandric violence a/g Black males involving the philic & phobic, there is hesitation towards admitting how BM are particularly targeted by death & sexual violence.
So a rich BM diagnosed w/bipolar disorder is now evidence of BM views of liberation being ONLY founded on wht supremacy, patriarchy & capitalism. But Candace Owens, the queer BLM leadership, Condoleezza Rice, Diamond & Silk, are not thought to represent anything a/b BW generally.
This is the most ridiculous & racist political propaganda I have ever seen by the racist democratic party. If Black America is not convinced of how white liberals think a/b Black males what other proof do you need?
When I talk about child abuse, the internalized vulnerabilities imposed on Black boys, gender theorist deflect saying it is blaming BW. When will Blk males be addressed as victims of abuse. This young Blk boy was tormented by ridicule & hatred. This is not ok.
So ww didn't vote for her the 1st time around but u trust them to do better, but BM who supported her more than BW are your concern? This is the unchecked hatred towards BM that serves as political punditry in the US.
Terry Crews being used to prove BM are WM is deplorable. For almost 4 years Blk ppl have endured Candice Owens, Diamond & Silk, Lynne Patton, and Omarosa Manigault...all BW all Trump supporters who disown racism, white supremacy, & make the lives of Blk folk worse.
Again misinformation. Both Black men and Black women are 2.5 times more likely to be killed by their spouse compared to whites. Black men are 65% more likely to experience IPV than their wm counterpart. This condescension & presumption of moral authority is repulsive.
Because they hate Black men. For over a century white feminist writings & theory have sought the elimination, incarceration & demonization of Black males in the U.S. & abroad.
@TichinaArnold
Ms. Arnold, that is a question that requires a more earnest conversation a/b the internalized stereotypes, class divisions, & contemporary gender ideas that continue to assert Black males are pathological, violent, & prone to deviant behavior.
The most concerning aspect of the "brick-lady" case is that it demonstrates how much currency the threat construction of Black males carries in the U.S. This is exactly what my research shows: using gender to convey the threat of Black males enables racist acceptance.
It amazes me how an organization of white feminists such as the National Women's Party could co-opt Title VII, try to kill the Civil Rights Bills, take the majority of affirmative action benefits a/g the protest of Black civil rights organizations, unions, & white progressives
No race of people has ever obtained liberation by labeling members of their group pathological & violent or giving credence to the ideations of their oppressors.
Very excited to sign the Professorial Roll today
@EdinburghUni
. This is a historical & somewhat ironic event. Today, I become the first Black philosopher to ever sign the roll. Philosophy/Divinity classes have been taught at UofE since 1581.
The public hatred of Black men on social media platforms is unbelievable. Yet any attempt to refute or expose these realities is met with the charge of misogyny. Hate speech a/g Black men should be sanctioned and litigated just as it would be towards any other group.
Is this not anti-Black misandry? Misidentify the racialized male, then assert b/c he "appears" to be a BM he is a domestic abuser. BM are 1/2 the victims of IPV in the Black community, 1/3 the victims of IPH, 1/2 the victims of sexual assault, but the media says BM are abusers.
So we are trying to now shame Black people, particularly BM, who do not support the carceral logic & policies of Kamala Harris. This woman did not & does not support Black Americans.
I am always confused by this argument. There has never been a time where BM have married more nonBW than BW. Black ppl generally are the least likely to inter-racially marry than other groups. So why is this an issue?
One of the biggest misconceptions is that MOST Black men date outside of their race. Here is some interesting data about Black men dating in the UK and US.
The practice of disregarding, cussing out, or labeling Black males as immature, pathological, & emotionally or psychologically under-developed is done. BM should organize w/professionals & organizations to deal w/this behavior.
lashing out at people trying to help you is so ridiculous. i want so much better for my people. many just aren’t ready. please go send Bre some love if y’all can.
The scapegoating of Black men begins. This is such a small % of voters no different than the 6-7% of Black women who voted from Trump. There are no conclusions that can be made of Black men as a group.
Watch how many academics who have made their careers calling Black men trash & violent will now pivot & try to get jobs & institutional capital by speaking to the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery & George Floyd. Everyone can get make money off of the Black male corpse but Black men.
His family was stolen from him and sold off after paying for his wife and providing shelter for them. The yt owner he paid tried to extort him but Henry couldn’t pay so when Henry was working, the EVIL yt man put his family up for auction and sold to a minister in North Carolina.
The arguments that hold traction as Black feminist arguments a/b Black males were actually introduced in the early 1970s and early 1980s by white feminists. Even the narrative a/b the Black Panther party being sexist was written by a white jewish woman named Shulamith Firestone.
Notice how Black men are being demonized through a caricature of their position. BM are not arguing a/b her being w/a wm. We are concerned with her anti-Black & misandric POLICIES.
From my segment w/
@craigmelvin
earlier today...
Some men of color will have an issue with Kamala’s husband being white. Some won’t. If you have an issue w/ it PLEASE for the sake of humanity & the future of our democracy pls go work that out in therapy & NOT at the ballot box!
On this day 80 years ago, a Black 14-year-old boy named George Stinney Jr. was executed by the state of South Carolina for a crime he didn't commit. He was the youngest person executed in the U.S. in the 20th century, and was exonerated 70 years after his death.
I appreciate the acknowledgment. The rape of Palestinian men & boys is a consequence of racialization. My research shows this is the case in slavery, Jim Crow, apartheid, and genocides.
ICYMI: The Austin family sunk $400,000 into renovating their home, but were stunned when they barely gained any value during the appraisal process. When they had a white woman pose as the homeowner, that all changed—by half a million dollars.
Full story:
For years, Black men have been overwhelmed by the sight of their own murder. We have normalized the death of Black males to such an extent in this country that the sight of a Black male corpse inspires no outrage. This is evidence of our dehumanization.
I’m not watching another video of a black man dying a painful death. I will not participate in the gruesome consumption of black male death. Sharing that video does not educate anyone. It commercializes our brutalization for social media.
#AhmadArbery
The social scientific evidence demonstrating the dehumanization of Black males is so overwhelming that liberal arts disciplines can only defend themselves by asserting that "empirical evidence" does not matter. John Henryism is a major public & mental health issue 4 Black males.
“White women, who enjoy proximal power from their association with white men, have often served as the white patriarchy’s most eager foot soldiers,” Rebecca Traister
Leonard Mack has been exonerated nearly 5 decades after he was wrongfully convicted of rape — the longest wrongful conviction overturned by DNA in U.S. history.
It is this kind of abuse that happens in our communities that we are silent about. We must start identifying & theorizing female perpetrators of sexual & domestic violence.
Twitter dialogues bore me. You have philanthropists rallying to save white men & boys b/c their demographic markers are starting to approach the status of Black males. For years Black feminists & their camarilla have attacked any attempts to focus on the institutional
All the data points to the same conclusion...which is the starting point of Black Male Studies...we need to understand why Black males are being driven out of the institutions driving social mobility and isolated from civil society.
How is it that Black boys and girls have similar experiences and backgrounds, yet, their educational attainments are drastically different? Many have assumed Black boys are simply not as goal oriented or that masculine socialization is the culprit. Fortunately, this study exist.
Throughout the humanities, Black people, but specifically Black and other racialized males, are being sold pathological theories of racial inferiority under the guise of progressivism, liberalism, and gender theory.
Johnathan Majors got Black feminist pundits & white liberals authoring numerous articles. This white man is convicted and silence. It almost seems as if certain gender theories are designed specifically for the demonization of BM, not the crimes committed a/g women.
Observe how little play media gave this? Not one streaming service documentary or flurry of wackademic thinkpieces about collective "toxic white masculinity" extrapolated from this one predator.
This is why I keep pressing on y'all to be aware of the power of media narratives.
Listen, Black men have a right to defend themselves from sexual assault. It is not toxic masculinity to say that violence used in self defense is an option against sexual assault or rape. Black men are human beings...nothing less.
He escaped a system you & your white ancestors created & still benefit from. But instead of thinking a/b the tyranny of white women who owned, raped, & murdered enslaved BM, you start a thread condemning Brown for not upholding your ideas of a loving nuclear family.
The public & brutal violence a/g Black men should be a cause of outrage. This on top of the murder of Sandra Massey should alert us to the assault on Black Americans that any Black face in the presidency will not rectify.
So now organizers of slave revolts against SLAVERY are serial murderers? This is the disease of white liberalism. It suggests that captive people cannot use any means necessary to escape captivity but must wait & die until whites release them.
When I explained how BM are vulnerable to IPV/IPH there is a deliberate denial of the evidence. This BM & father was killed by his ex-gf for no reason.
The reality is that many people don't care a/b Black people, they care a/b the rhetoric so they can benefit from the hierarchies of disregard white liberals impose on Black life. This is a/b jobs in the academy, not whether their research is true.
I find it ironic that in the midst of riots & BLM that we are now discussing a Biden/Harris ticket, & not one Black pundit has even asked: "How will you stop cops from killing over 200 BM & a dozen BW every year in this country."
So feminism & Blk feminist organizations were funded by the CIA but its Blk nationalism that wanted to be part of the system. Academic work kiils me. Why was Steinem a founder of the Natl Blk Feminist Organization again?
Flip this scenario. A 16 year old boy pulls a girl off a bike & retells this story. How many people in the audience clap & laugh. Black boys have the earliest sexual debut in the U.S. & report the earliest contact sexual experiences. This is traumatic, not entertainment.
So in this day and time with genocides, police killings, Karen calls, and mass racial violence by whites a/g Blacks, u thought white women were the way to go? white women?
The political economy under Black patriarchy for single Blacks earning under 1 million USD. It is unbelievable what liberal arts theory would have you believe against the facts.
Everyone wants to profit from decolonial theory until it offends the liberal sensibilities of the academic apparatus. Academics will watch people die, watch men & boys be slaughtered & dismembered, only to focus on how these deaths confirm their political ideology.
Notice this claim. So while BM are being locked out of society at large Hill wants you to believe that working class BM crave patriarchal power. Yet, she makes no mention of how BW close to the trigger & in line with the DNC crave carceral power to punish Black people.
A Supreme Court case and legislation was required to defeat segregation, not voting. The government literally feared votes in states would continue segregation, hence federal and judicial action. How do you get that wrong?
@NickHamiltonLA
@vexedinthecity
To say voting hasn’t changed anything, is just a lie. We used to be a segregated society. Voting changed that. Voting brought a black president. Most of our basic needs were brought by voting. NOT VOTING, though, has done enormous damage
So proud of Dr. Miron Gilmore for successfully defending his viva at
@EdinburghUni
. Dr. Gilmore is the 1st Black philosopher to earn his doctorate in Africana Philosophy & Black Male Studies since the founding of the university in 1581. It was an honor to have him as my student.
Last day of school pics! Still in disbelief of how i survived the last 7 years since I left the Marines. But in the memory of my brother and sister, I am grateful to make history as a first gen-student and as the 1st Black philosopher to matriculate from the Uni of Edinburgh.
If you listen to contemporary liberal political theories, the only group Black people should not form solidarity & coalitions with is themselves. Only Black solidarity is demonized w/in social-political thought--feminism, class solidarity, etc. is embraced through and through.
Great example how Black knowledge is not "known" to whites until whites say it to whites. The same thing happens in philosophy & throughout the academy.
In 1856, renowned British ethnologist Sir Richard Burton was told by Somali nomads that mosquitoes transmitted malaria, a claim he dismissed as "a ridiculous superstition". In 1902, British doctor Ronald Ross won the Nobel for "discovering" that mosquitoes transmitted malaria
A little over 12 million adult Black men. Some of which are disenfranchised. Even when BM can do no harm, America exports a narrative of them as the cause of failure. To blame BM support for Democrats (at 80%) for this election shows that BM can be condemned for anything.
Black men are denied any visibility as victims of domestic violence in the U.K. Black Male Studies analyzes this vulnerability and wants policy to intervene. This was attempted murder.
So Black men are outnumbered in every positive income category and outnumber Black women in the no income category. BM have less education, more death & incarceration, yet we are told Black men should not be scientifically studied in U.S. departments outside of feminist theory.
"41,000 more Black men than women with No Income"
Either a) Black men ain't s**t.
or
b) The way we talk about race, gender, and the economy does an enormous disservice to the situation of Black men.
So intersectionality is now becoming suspect amidst genocide but when it was used as a tool to erase the deaths of Black males at the hands of white vigilantes & the state, I among others just misunderstood the idea. Intersectional invisibility literally said the deaths of BM
You ever notice that Black politics is not trying to stop the death of BM but mobilize those deaths for political representation & power to manage poor Black populations. The Blk elites are demanding positions on the blood of Blk communities.
Preach. Anyone who simply reads about the history of feminism knows this is Western feminism's function within empire. They demonize racialized men as misogynist to justify their extermination.
Any gender based analysis that ignores colonialism and imperialism will inevitably result in (often Western) feminists weaponizing a flat understanding of patriarchy to deny the humanity of colonized and racialized men.
BM are falsely accused & convicted for even imaginary crimes. This is a matter for study & philosophical intervention. What are the ethical responsibility of alleged democracies to prevent this misandric violence a/g racialized males.
Interesting to learn that allegedly the only way towards liberation for Black men and Black people is to destroy manhood...do we get this shit from the back of cereal boxes.
Who speaks to ppl this way. This hatred publicly displayed a/g BM for daring to question feminist ideology. And no, different theories of patriarchy do maintain that BM, poor men, etc do not benefit from patriarchy simply by being men.
The central question is what does the death of 250+ Black males per year & the incarceration of 840,000 Black men & boys achieve for American democracy. The distractions by white liberals & their Black allies take focus away from the violent managing of this population.
I tire of academics pretending they are the moral conscience of the nation. People can reasonably disagree w/o jobs, character, & livelihoods threatened.
@TichinaArnold
Consequently, you have a small class of economically mobile & educated Black men & women who believe BM who are uneducated & working class are irredeemable & dangerous to the more respectable lot. This dynamic leads to cultural images of BM that are dehumanizing & limiting.
Blackness is a commodity in American universities. Whoever can claim being victimized the most & claim that this "oppression" can be remedied through an appeal to white liberal gatekeepers/overseers will be appointed the racial spokespeople.
Notice how whites, in this case, a white woman, weaponized bell hooks to say that Black men are threats that wish to align themselves with white men. This is second-wave white feminist thought written by Shulamith Firestone.
Good morning, I wanna show y'all something:
Why would organizations that claim to be fighting for reparations and Black wellness promote this sort of dishonest propaganda about one half of the group they claim to be fighting for?
Still an ignored aspect of Black men's engagement and assault by police. This is sexual violence that has a long history of being imposed on the Black male body.
More racist drivel from the mediocre Dreher. Right wing propaganda relies on the myth of Black male violence, threats of Black resistance, & the fear of the Black rapist to mobilize white political conservativism.
Remember Tommy Curry, radical black Texas A&M philosopher who often speculated on the necessity of violence and death inflicted on white people for the sake of social justice? When I wrote abt him in 2017, academics sd I was picking on him. Well (1/2):
The audacity & self righteousness of this post & the idea that gender somehow justifies this thread is just another example of how Blk ppl will accept horribly racist & slavery based apologia if it is something negative a/b BM shows how far Blks have fallen in the U.S.
