why are (some) black women feminists? please enlighten me

this is bound to stir up controversy, but this is a serious question.  i am not a feminist, nor do i agree with black women claiming this shit, hence the question.  in my opinion, feminism is just another paradigm of the system created to dumb down and disconnect us from “reality.”

last time i checked, “feminism” spawned from white men treating their women like shit and raping fucking Black women in their faces.  can you imagine your husband waking up in the middle of the night and creeping to the quarters to have his way with a woman who is #1 a slave and #2 Black! dayum, how much does that suck!!  here is your husband, who supposedly HATES niggers and nigger women, yet is real quick to kill a nigger over a nigger woman, just so he can force his dick inside her.  then comes back to bed like nothing happened.  9 months later a mulatto is born and you’re supposed to ignore it!  and that’s exactly what white women did — IGNORED it.

white women “needed” the feminist movement because they were worthless.  slaves cleaning up the house, slaves rearing their children, slaves cooking their meals, slaves ironing their families clothes, slaves fucking their man when they didn’t want to, slaves fucking their man when their man no longer desired them.  okay so you don’t clean, cook, iron, wash, teach, work, wipe your ass, etc.  what is your purpose other than to look pretty and be quiet? the only reason white women were”necessary” back then was to spawn white children and keep their “race” and political structure strong.  “gimme sons and get out my face” type shit.  the majority of white women weren’t involved in politics, economics or whatever else was needed to maintain.  their main duty was to brush their hair, read the bible and hate Blacks.

fast forward some time and now all of a sudden white women have grown tired of being ignored and oppressed.  well duh, shit if you weren’t sitting on your ass for hundreds of years doing nothing but frowning at blackness, while your slave-master husbands brutalized the living daylight out of black people, you wouldn’t be screaming “women’s rights” which are, in essence, white women’s rights.  cuz you don’t give a fuck about anyone but yourself.

and Black women being the followers that they are, wanting so desperately to be equal to white women, manifested the “belief” that they were being oppressed also, but oh no not by mr. slave master, but by BLACK MEN! because Black men had so much power as defined by the rules of western civilization.  i’m sorry but i don’t recall anytime in history, regardless of profession (politician, educator, orator) where Black men didn’t have a difficult time in white society.  Black women started crying for not being “recognized” for their contributions in the civil rights movements and having their names overlooked by bigger ones such as Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  so you’re mad because “white misogyny” hasn’t recognized you in huge headlines.  its not good enough for the Black community to know what you as a Black woman accomplished to push the civil rights movement forward huh.  yeah didn’t think so.

of course this was not the only reason for the black feminist movement; equal wages and employment, protection laws and domestic freedom were all contributing factors as to why “we” felt that we were oppressed.  yes, white women and black women were (and still are) treated unfairly, but i sure as hell am NOT sympathetic because Becky got cheated on by her nasty ass husband, George.  Becky wasn’t the one being raped and forced to act like she was turned on by George or his filthy penis.  Becky’s children weren’t sold away from her or killed.  Becky’s husband wasn’t beaten to death in front of his family to show the rest of the slaves who was so-called boss.  Becky’s children may have been taken from her during divorce, but her children were still breathing and being pampered by Black slaves.  so Becky and her “i need attention” can kiss my ass.  and so can Black women who follow Becky’s example.

Black feminists evidently aren’t aware of the “system” or maybe they choose not to acknowledge it.  maybe they don’t understand that regardless of belief, a woman CAN NOT raise a man, especially a Black man alone.  but the system has created this “belief” that we don’t need no man.  this fucked up shit gives single mother’s free money (damn near free government housing, discounted daycare, free medical and education stipends) as long as they KEEP THE BLACK MAN OUT OF THE HOME. say what you’re gonna give me money to kick my man out?  and emasculate him even more?  because from birth the odds were stacked in favor of the Black man.  because it’s soooo fucking easy for a Black man to attend and graduate from college, land a high-paying job to keep you, him and the baby fly, and keep afloat in a society that constantly tells him he ain’t shit.  now you’re dependent on the white man (again) so you can drive around in a car similar to the white chicks you see at the mall all the time, shopping in stores you can’t afford — but you still buy stuff you know you shouldn’t, with money you didn’t earn.  all stemming from jealousy of the material shit they have.  keyword = material.  the material shit they got off free labor from you.  yes you.  but you don’t give a hot damn about your son or daughter growing up without a father, because you kicked him out because he was too broke for you.

and for those black feminists not on government assistance, they really think they’re the shit.  since society didn’t cut off your tits like it chopped off his balls allowing you to work next to the white man, all of a sudden Black men ain’t good enough for you.  you think you got that nice salaried job due to your “qualifications”, but in reality it was only because your white boss wanted to fuck you.  and maybe you did lay him for the job.  i won’t tell your secret.  i’m not discrediting women who worked their asses off to achieve what they have, but some women spread their legs to the top.  black and white.  i’m just saying, before Black women jump on the “I am woman hear me roar” boat, take a look at the system we live in.  this system is meant to divide the family.  this shit really has Black women thinking they can successfully raise a well-rounded man (and woman) without the aid of the man.  did you impregnate yourself?  no, so why in the hell would you think you could raise the child alone?  does that make sense to you?

i wish Black women would stop following these asinine trends of white folks.  quiet as its kept they’re part of the system too, they either don’t know it, or refuse to acknowledge it.

Is it a curse to be pretty?


I bartend part-time.

I’m not sure what made me pick bartending as a second occupation — it seemed like the way to go for a broke, college commuter. There aren’t many jobs for a chick in her mid 20’s who attends classes all week long from 7:30-5; take into account the pee/boop breaks my horse dog needs every 4-5 hours and the job-pickin’s get pretty slim.

For some reason, I got the bright idea to go to Bartending School to make some extra money. Barmaids (I thought) only work like 4-5 hours and take home cash every night. And, most bars here in Cleveland let you keep your own tips. In my head I was thinking, “I’m a pretty girl, I like messing with drunk people, I want another source of income, I can work for a few hours a couple nights a week and make cash — shiit sign me up!”.

What was I thinking?

Is the Black man giving deuces to society?


So I know I didn’t finish my week-long task of The Esoteric Agenda postings, but I needed a break. I’ll resume it later this week.

This morning I got an email about a YouTube video in circulation regarding Black feminism and the demise of the Black man. Immediately I got out of bed and ran to my computer to see what it was about, and boy was I surprised.

I’m not sure who this young, Black feminist is that has these ideas about the destruction of our Black men, but her observations and future predictions are not far off-base. Although I don’t agree with her ambition to see our Black men self-destruct — are they (and black women) going to destroy themselves anyway?

Here is what she believes is happening:

She says Black men are on a quest to achieve social and economic equality with white men and will eventually oppress the BLACK WOMAN as the white man has done, historically.

Furthermore, she states that Black men want to convince Black women that “Black is beautiful” by encouraging us to wear our hair naturally, in afros and dreadlocks. They will place us on a “false pedestal”, making us believe that being naturally-black is beautiful — when in reality, these ideas will make Black women unattractive to ALL men worldwide, especially Black men.

Women lie, men lie

I swear, my perspectives on relationships and cheating partners have changed so much this year.

A couple of years ago an ex-boyfriend strayed and got someone pregnant during our relationship. For a second in my head I channeled Angela Bassett’s whoop ass scene in What’s Love Got To Do With It because I was that pissed/hurt. My ex never laid a hand on me, but that’s how I felt at the time, along with a host of other unpleasant emotions.

Reflecting now, I am SO happy I never defaced his property or anything else to release my anger. I did some massive soul-searching in ‘09′, and my thoughts/feelings/conclusions about a lot of issues are inconsistent with my feelings from two years ago. I realized that the girl that had his baby actually did me a favor, because I could easily be in her position having to maintain some sort of communication with him for my entire child’s life. I’m not saying he’s a bad person, but the woman I’ve become wouldn’t mesh well with the man he is. We would have broken up anyway.
