So after Christian Keyes had went to his Instagram and made a post that got a
lot of people talking, not his post was what got people talking,
but let's read exactly what he said on Instagram. He says,
black women are definitely superheroes. Nothing wrong with that.
That's positive.
Anyone in their right mind would take no issue with that statement coming from a
brother, right? There's a lot of women online. Sometimes not.
Not all. Not all women, all line,
but there are some women say all black men don't celebrate as black men.
Don't speak good for us. Black men don't do this. And I disagree with that.
100% yes, you have people doing things that I will say it's very negative,
but the majority of brothers, they don't act that way. They don't.
So they have a user by the name of underscore B, underscore Laura.
All women. Okay. Now we have seen many times before,
every time a black man says something positive about black women,
it's always women of other groups. Usually the Muslim girl,
women for the most part knew that they show up.
Or what about all women? Well, all women are this and all that. Well,
why are you always this all? You know what I'm saying?
So the brother responded and said, I said what? I said,
it's a shame that we can't even celebrate black women while others popping up
talking about what about us?
Just because somebody says something positive by black women,
it doesn't mean they don't have think the same about other women.
It just means that here in this moment, right now,
I want to say something positive and amazing by black women.
If that offends you, then you are a part of the problem. God bless,
but he's right. How many times have we seen brothers say, I love white women.
I like white women or whatever they say about white women.
They say they like Asians. They've said they like Latinas.
They said all kinds of women. They like all women. The brothers actually. Right?
Okay.
But anytime that a black man says something positive about black women,
it becomes a problem. Now,
if this same brother was calling black women Bulldogs calling black women,
difficult call black women,
just whatever name they want to call them right now,
same woman wouldn't show up and say, Hey, don't talk about black women that way.
All women are a great, all women look nice. All women. No he does.
You'll get no all until you say something positive about black women,
and I've seen this just even in the workforce that anytime a black woman is
celebrated,
any time a black man is attracted to the women in his own group,
I mean that's natural to be attracted to the women in your own group.
I mean that's the women you're going to grow up around or be around more than
any other group of people. Right.
But it's as always I've seen is that there's that colonizer
in definitely some of the white women for sure,
that they want to colonize black men's thoughts wall to objectify us,
want to say whatever they want to say. They don't have access to black men,
like they're still on a plantation. And how dare they say,
Hey, I believe black women was definitely heroes.
You don't know what kind of day he had.
You don't know if a black woman done something great for him that day,
saw something for him. Like, man, man,
that's just some really superhero movie she pulled and he's went to Instagram
and just kind of expressing that we're not putting a person out there on front
street, whoever that person may be.
It's been times associates have really done things great for us, you know,
here within our business. Um, for me personally,
sometimes you don't want to put people's name out there because they don't want
their name out there, but he just want to make a general comment or,
or maybe he's just seeing that, you know, the, the women he's around,
we don't know who they are that are black women.
He had to give him props like that, but it's not an issue.
Why is it Becky,
that you always trying to come up in the space?
What black men are saying some positive by black women. Why?
What does it listen, you have your own men, you have white men,
that is the men of your group. Go over there with them.
You have every right to tell white men whatever,
but when it comes to this and when it comes to black men don't the women,
in my opinion, that has a right to be saying certain things that black women,
just my opinion on that.
We don't come to your spaces.
You don't see a bunch of black women's showing up to a place where a white man
saying how much they love a white woman or how a white woman is only good for
them or whatever they want to say about white women.
I don't see a bunch of black women showing up and saying all women are,
we're black women too or whatever.
I don't see that because really for the most part,
black women don't even go over there like that. They really don't.
It's definitely viewed the research. They don't.
So why is it that you always come in over here where brothers are at mentioning
how they feel about the women in their community?
Let me tell you something. Just like the Angie stone made the song brother,
that was very positive.
Well sometimes you may make a post to appreciate the sisters cause sometime they
want to hear that too. I mean we both need encouragement,
especially living in this system.
So if he wanted to leave an encouraging word for the women of the community,
what is wrong with that?
It seems like you gotta be included in everything that we got going on.
And it's not just Becky because Gina Rodriguez was another one, you know,
making comments every time someone makes a comment about black women,
black people is always, well not us to us to,
no, none of this us to know.
Sometimes conversation is the black community and there's nothing wrong with
that because every group, when it's time to talk about them,
they don't want to hear nothing about us at all.
When they have their little groups, when they speak their languages,
when they do everything else, they exclude us.
But anytime time and we for five minutes try to prioritize what we have in our
community or just kinda circle our wagons around each other,
then it's supposed to be like, Oh, what about us? Well, you shutting us out.
Support black businesses. Hey, that's not right to support black business.
That's kind of racist, don't you think? Saying things like that.
You get what I'm saying? We have to, as as black people say, listen,
if I want to celebrate the sisters, I'm going to do that.
You don't like it if you okay, my page, my opinion is how I feel.
If a sister say that about a brother, she could say the exact same thing.
Don't feel bad about celebrating each other because if we don't have each other,
who else do we have? And once again,
brothers have said comments about women of all races anyway and no one condemns
them. When that happens, let's call it what it is,
but anytime my brothers say something positive about sisters,
now here you come talking about what about us? What about us? No,
you're not included in our overall family.
You're not eating. If you married to a few of us,
you still not really included in the collective like that to be budding your
nose into that conversation.
And I don't know why y'all do that and that's probably why you deleted your
Instagram page that I wouldn't look for it and it was nowhere to be found.
But brothers more and more are starting to speak up by not even liking y'all
coming into our conversations like that.
And that's good because we don't go in y'all conversations.
We don't interject ourselves in anything that y'all have going on within your
group. And we were like the same respect. But let me, you think about,
you know this woman on Instagram, there's pulling that all women deal.
But once again, if they say something negative about black women,
notice there's nothing it, everything's cool.
But the moment that something has said positive about the sisters,
all of a sudden now it's a problem. All women need to be included.
No one could ever say something good and say, Hey, black women,
you're doing a good job. I think you, you pushing the right message,
you can't do anything. You can't because people get their feelings hurt. Well,
this is how I feel about that. Keep getting your feelings hurt. Stay I business.
Go find something to do.
