Blogger's Note: I was considering posting the video itself at the top of the page, but I decided to leave a hyperlink of it in the first sentence below.
Friday afternoon, I was watching a video on YouTube that had a young lady named Chyna Fox (possibly her username for that channel, I'm not sure) ranting about these "pro-black" men. I'm paraphrasing here, but she basically stated that as soon as an "averagely attractive white woman," as she described her, said the very same things she has been speaking out about in terms of social ills and injustices, black men immediately migrated over to her, referring to her as "white bae," or saying that if they were to get with a white woman, it would be her.
She goes on to talk about how black women have been more loyal than black men-- I'll give my take on that later in this blog-- how weak they are, and how their loyalty lies with whoever makes their penis happy. She said much more, I'm just summarizing things. I listened to about half of the video Friday, and listened to it in its entirety Saturday night. I listened critically and carefully, and as she spoke-- if I may paraphrase another YouTuber-- my social antennas went up.
Before I go there, let me start with Rubia Garcia (her username, from my understanding) the white woman she's referring to. It's only fair that I address both in this post. Chyna mentioned the comment she made to this woman about her wearing braids, which one of the responses Rubia had was that various cultures did braiding. Bullsh*t. Other cultures might've adopted it later, as they usually do, but braiding-- among many other things, contrary to popular belief-- started in the Motherland. Another thing, I can understand Chyna's arguement on her wearing braids because I believe that braids, dreads, or kinky hairstyles looks retarded as hell on white women and women of other ethnicities. Similarly, blonde hair looks just as retarded and throwed-off on black women.
There was a video where Rubia basically speaks about not "acting black," but simply being herself. I realize people can get crazy with their personal convictions on what being a certain race is, because I tend to speak what some would consider to be "proper." Of course, I use some slang here and there, but it's not the bulk of my vocabulary. Naturally, a person like myself could easily get thrown into the box of "talking white," "acting white," or "wanting to be white," so to a degree I can understand where that assessment could be deemed as unfair.
One of the things Chyna complained about was how people like Rubia will do things like watch her, rip off her style and rhetoric, making it their own. As far-fetched as that may sound, it actually isn't. Anyone who is truthful about history knows that whites study us, then either steal or mimic what we do, make it their own, and act as if they originated it. For some of us, this is no secret. As I heard a wise man once say, "You're biggest critics are secretly your biggest fans." They love to hate us, yet love to imitate us.
With that in mind, I had a chance to watch a little of a few of Rubia's videos. Not only did I listen, but I noticed her mannerisms, and it did have kind of an urban kick to it. Let's face it, blacks are naturally passionate people, and we have multiple ways of expressing our passion. We get criticized and mocked by others for it because they simply don't get it, but f*ck them, I don't apologize for being who I am. Now, there are situations where there were whites who grew up and/or went to school with mostly blacks and vice versa, so respectively some will pick up certain behaviors because that's what they've been around, and that's what they know.
On a side note, when I say "passionate," I mean feeling or (particularly) expressing oneself strongly, not acting like an irrational animal or being antagonistic, passing it off as a strength or being passionate. Let's make that clear.
Most of them do it to carry out their personal agenda. As soon as they achieve whatever that goal is by dealing with blacks, they leave them high and dry. I'll say this: if Rubia is honest, I don't find any fault. However, I've seen this type of thing before, and for me, that makes what she's doing questionable.
It reminds me of the "anybody can be pro-black" narrative. All you have to do is quote Malcolm X (or those of a similar caliber), wear shirts with their image, speak or act as if you're against the injustice and inhumane mistreatment of blacks, and they fall asleep. It doesn't matter who you are, or what color you are, all you have to do is act as if you're supportive of the cause of black people, and they're wrapped around your finger.
Take Colin Kaepernick for example. As soon as the season ends, and he parts ways with the San Francisco 49ers, becoming a free agent, suddenly, he ends his stance, basically stating one of the reasons was because he didn't want to take away from the positive changes it created. Bullsh*t! What positive changes?! We were being gunned down while he was taking a knee, and we're still being gunned down by these thugs with badges and guns!
In retrospect, if you ask me, he knew this would garner national media attention, and this was a way to get back in the spotlight, by using blacks' misfortunes-- not to mention gullibility-- as a launchpad, like most of these people do. Also, I believe he was backpedaling in an attempt to get a team to sign him. Nah, dude. You disrespected these white folk's god, you're finished with them.
Anyway, back to Ms. Fox. Although I believe she was referring specifically to "pro-black" men, I agree with her rhetoric on some ends. Yes, there are a lot of black men who think with the wrong head. Yes, the majority of white people are very crafty and self-absorbed, and don't have our best interest at heart. Yes, most black folks are very gullible and credulous, one of my biggest problems with my people. They're quick to believe any damn thing. If a black person says it, and it's juicy-- they will second guess it if a black person is trying to enlighten them-- or if a white person says it period, it's good as gold. Honestly, I'm not sure if it's whites are that crafty, or if blacks are just that gullible and credulous. That's a blog subject in and of itself.
I understand her frustration with "pro-black" men because I believe a lot of them are hypocrites and can't be trusted (the men and women). They show better than they can tell that anybody can be pro-black. I would even say that there has been a percentage of black women who stood by black men through thick and thin (i.e. when they were dead broke and striving to come up higher and make it), and as soon as they receive their NFL, NBA, movie, or recording contract, they're quick to ditch them for a white woman.
However, there's this: black women don't have this undying loyalty as she insinuated. It was black women who sided with white feminists, who put it in their minds that they didn't need a man, they can play both motherly and fatherly roles. The result of that are these weak, effeminate, sorry ass men that she and others like her complain about.
They accepted assistance from the white government who installed stipulations that the men had to be removed from the home in order for them to receive the assistance. They listen to misandrous women like Oprah-- whose sexuality I question-- who has also convinced them that they're "strong," "independent," and don't need a man. Not saying that men are only good for their penises, but the last time I checked, you can't reproduce by scissoring or grinding crotches, or by dildoing each other to death.
They listen to manginas (credit to Shawn James for coining the term) like Tyler Perry and Steve Harvey, whose content tends to pander to women, and put these illogical ideas in their heads. They watch these ratchet shows (e.g. Scandal, Real Housewives of everywhere, etc.) that poisons their minds, and these various "doctors" (i.e. Oprah Winfrey Jr., Dr. Phil), who can't keep their homes or marriages together, yet they're giving out advice and tips, and they allow these serpents into their homes, so to speak.
All of these and more have been tools to break up the black family, particularly to destroy the psyche and strip the position of black men. The white media in particular knew exactly who to attack. Whether they want to admit it or not, black women have been very instrumental in this destruction. Contrary to the narrative they're trying to push, they are NOT innocent in this-- far from it.
There's a percentage of black women and white men who I believe are two sides of the same coin. They're both arrogant as hell, (apparently) above reproach, and have a superiority complex. Of course, there are black men and white women with similar faults, but the former sticks out like a sore thumb. No, it's not all of them, I never said that it was. It's sad people lack comprehension skills and believe what they want to believe.
She also alluded to how black men always want the sisters to have their back when sh*t hits the fan, but they do the same damn thing. Before I go further, let me say this: I couldn't care less who dates or marries who, that's not what this is about. If you want a white, Asian, Hispanic, etc., go get them, my issue is when they throw us under the bus in the process. No doubt, black men have done this as well, but black women are notorious for this.
They dog us, and run us down in favor of white men and others, but as soon as white men show their true colors (i.e. what they really think of their black asses), they expect us to have their backs. Wait a minute. "Black men ain't sh*t," and "White men treat women better than black men." Remember? They're "strong," "independent," and don't need us...until they're in trouble. All of this strength and independence that they're trying to exhibit has them playing out of position, to put it in sports terms.
In conclusion, I've been saying this for the longest, and I'm sure this won't be the last time I say this or something similar to it. There are issues on both ends. One is usually trying to lop-side it and place all the blame on the other. We must come together (black men and women), and resolve these issues among each other, not allowing outside interference, which has played a huge part in our division in the first place. Honestly, I believe loyalty is something that we need to put in place, because over the course of years, I don't think it was ever fully or firmly established among us as a black nation.
