Gangsta-ism, "Consciousness" and Black Male 'Leadership'

Now, this is a REAL gangsta...

 

This is NOT a real gangsta...



Any questions?

This mess, this hyper-masculinity, this name-calling, this foolishness is NOT being 'gangsta' and it surely is NOT consciousness.  So just stop it.  Please, just stop.  You're making yourselves look stupid by claiming manhood and acting like bitches at the same time.

I have a great deal of admiration for truly masculine men.

What do I mean?

Masculinity is demonstrated in the following:
  • Being truthful
  • Being responsible
  • Being in control of himself
  • Being protective of those he cares for
  • Being protective of his community
  • Being intellectually curious enough to study, read and question
  • Being physically and mentally strong
  • Being able to stand for what is right and not care what others think
A masculine man would be able to be proactive, or at least not react to everything.  We have too many of our so-called men who claim to be for our people but it's becoming more clear to me that they are not.

This is an example of a masculine man

You so-called "men" allowed "men" to claim that they are helping our communities while using women for sex, money, a place to stay, food and anything else they can get.  Not only do y'all give them a pass, some if you even congratulate them on 'getting over.'  We all know that dude who has 3 children by 2 different mothers, and doesn't do a thing for the children or their mothers.

And they get passes while the women are by and large left alone with children to raise -- and to take the blame.

These same "men" want to bang on each other to the extent of making videos name-calling each other to the point of comedy.  Then one of them issues a false apology and continues to proclaim himself a 'prince.'

And he gets a pass--again.

You so-called "men" allow children to be molested and women to be raped by the "men" who are supposedly charged with protecting them.  You so-called "men," by and large, don't care if their children's schools fall apart without addressing it or providing a real alternative -- not some crackpot crowdfunding scheme.

One of the hardest lessons I have learned, one of the saddest lessons I've learned as a Black woman is that there is no protection for me, especially from Black "men."  I will be mistreated, and have been.  I will be lied on, and have been (especially if I intimidate them).  The bad behavior if others will be blamed on me, mostly because I'm supposedly a 'bitch' who is a 'stuck-up'.  I will get no love from most Black "men."  I will get no support from most Black "men."  I will get no respect from most Black "men."

Why?

Because I want from any man, especially one who claims leadership, is on this list:
  • Being truthful
  • Being responsible
  • Being in control of himself
  • Being protective of those he cares for
  • Being protective of his community
  • Being intellectually curious enough to study, read and question
  • Being physically and mentally strong
  • Being able to stand for what is right and not care what others think
And there isn't a lot if that out there.

But, there are a bunch of over-emotional, overgrown, irresponsible boys posing as men and wannabe tough guys.  And that's not gangsta.  It's not leadership.  It sure isn't consciousness.

Let's call it what it is...it's being super-moist, whiny bitches.

And, yet, we keep giving these bitches a pass.

Why?
