More excuses to not be mad at Ray Rice

Only Black people: So you can't be mad at Ray Rice if you are going to see the movie with Taraji Henson and Idris Alba because he beats her in the movie.

PLENTY of horror movies that goes back for decades involve white men killing beating and killing white women or any person for that matter. I have yet to hear a white person say "Oh I am not gonna go watch that new Jason movie. A white woman is getting beat/killed and it is gonna promote domestic violence.

It is supposed to be suspense and horror but NOOOW that you finally get some black horror movie it is a problem.Are you mad that skeletons are falling out of the closet that this actually happens in real life whether it is shown on screen or not?

Same issue with Scandal. "Why the black woman gotta be the side chick" "it's making black women look bad". Have you not seen Young and the Restless, Days of our lives, and The Bold and beautiful with PRIMARILY white casts engaging in extramarital affairs with white mistresses/side chicks but no one talks about that.

Can we just admit that some of you promote your own slavery? You're so afraid of "looking bad" to other races which means deep down you really believe that we are the worst group of people despite other races doing the same shit we do.

You're holding yourself to a much higher standard than any other group of people, and getting frustrated in the process despite the fact that whether we are perfect or not people will STILL hate us. STOP the madness!

Okay I'm done.And for the record I am not gonna see the movie and I am not a Scandal watcher. It's ridiculous that fictional characters get more backlash than real people.


Why is it that my people pay more attention to entertainment choices than addressing real issues?

Where are the Black men??

Funny how the black men who claim they want the black community to do better are the first ones dismissing domestic violence.

Instead of addressing the perpetrators role they start thinking of women who have hit men to defend men.

News flash: No one denies that women hit men sometimes. But there is something wrong when your only concern is defending the black male image that you ignore black women problems.

I see many black women standing up for black men that are victims of police brutality but when it's time for black men to stand up for our rights and dignity it's nonexistent.

Some of you black men are the most sensitive, egotistical, and irrational guys on the planet. You only see your pain and if you want to know why the black community it's because you're too busy blaming women for their problems, and expect utmost respect and unlimited support even when you are WRONG.

You say black women aren't supportive but anyone with eyes can see women on the streets of Ferguson, women blindly following you behind your non existent rap careers,women standing by you while you cheat and lie. Women not putting you on child support to save your ass women going above and beyond when you don't have a job, women really at arms with others to defend your image but where is the support of black women issues?

Apparently :
Rape is her fault
Abuse is her fault
Sorry baby daddy is her fault
Having to use government assistance is her fault
Getting cheat on and lied to is her fault

But where are you? When will you stop defending the black male image and criticize yourselves just as hard as you go in on women!

The black community is in trouble because of the lack of unity. The black man desires power so much that he ignores the issues of black women. Somehow all of women's issues are pathological and their fault while the black man's issues are because of the white man and black woman?




Update:
I wrote this post in September 2014. As my frustration grew I made a spoken word poem called "Dear Black Man"in February 2015
