All right, welcome back to the Onyx Report. Black masculinist news for the day. Hope everybody's well. Like, share, subscribe, join, donate, hit the like button, support the show so we can continue to bring you this independent black male thought. All right.
So, we're talking today about the ways in which liberal feminism influenced black women in particular, and the stem for some of the behavior that we've seen. Behavior, by the way, that we're not allowed to point out, not in private conversation, definitely not in public.
Now, black women can critique black men all day, but black men have to be silent. And we will often silence each other, even by use of violence, to prevent us from actually confronting their behavior.
But I don't do this to just piss black women off, or because I hate them, or any of that [ __ ]. I'm doing this because, for one, my show was targeted to black men. I stopped trying to talk to black women, you know, 15 years ago, about anything serious because I realized anything serious that had to do with critiquing them, they took as an attack and no longer listened.
So, I decided that my focus would be about arming black men with an understanding. [music] An understanding of the world they live in and how it's been influenced by the women you lay next to.
And this is important because it's the missing piece in the puzzle we don't talk about. We talked about, we've talked about everything: systemic white supremacy. We've talked about structural underdevelopment, economic and political and cultural. We've talked about everything under the sun.
And of course, since the 1980s, publicly, black men have been blamed for everything possible, especially the fall of the black family and the and the black community. But the one thing we've never been allowed to talk about is black women's contributions to this.
So, understand something before I get into anything else. The reason my show fixates so much on the gyocray and the relationship between black men and women—not necessarily just on relig relationship grounds, but politically, socially, culturally, historically, so on and so forth—the reason my show focuses on it is because I try to use this as a base to articulate information about the missing piece to the puzzle.
I'm not saying that this issue with the gyocracy is the sole issue we need to be concerned with. What I'm saying is all the other things we've been taught to be concerned with, you need to add this piece to it for it all to come together.
And because there's so few media uh channels and otherwise that will talk about this, that's why I kind of hyper-focus on it. It's not because it's the most important thing in the world. It's that for our for brothers in the black community, it is the missing piece that we've never been able to properly state aloud to help us understand what's actually going on.
So, I want to get that clear. I want to make that clear. I don't talk a lot about black men that, you know, shoot up everything or whatever, because there's plenty of news uh sources that are already dealing with that. Plenty of podcasts and and pundits that are already dealing with that.
But you know what they're not talking about, and what they refuse to talk about? The ways in which the gyocracy has functioned and been bought off a long time ago to the detriment of black boys and men. So that's why I talk about it. It's not out of hatred or contempt. It's because nobody else is, or I should say, very few, right?
So today we're going to talk about the behavior of many black women. And I want to kind of put it in particular context.
Now, much of what you're going to see is a product of entitlement, but there's also one other factor that I'll get to toward the end of the show that really helps us understand what black women's behavior is about.
So, first and foremost, let's uh check this clip out. Here we go.
>> You might meet somebody, and it's just like the whatever that comes out of their mouth, you're forced to be like, "What?" Yeah, then they're looking at you and it's like, "Damn, why I feel like I got to be the one to bring you roses? Like, can you pay, babe? Like, you know, make me feel like soft or whatever, you know?" There are men like that. They like, "Please." They see aggressive girl and they be like, "That ain't about nothing." They come and they, you know, they I be like, [laughter] "That's what I like."
>> Let me, let me talk to the fellas real quick. Um, fellas, it's a lot of women out here, man. There's a lot of women operating in their femininity already. And I know as men you got to deal with a lot in society. And the last thing you want to do is come home and have to combat a masculine woman or make a woman f— like, there's a lot of women out here like—
>> No. You think I was saying that she was going to come home and she's like, "Yeah, wait. That made up a new scenario." Like, no, that's [laughter] not—
>> Any woman fixing her lips to talk about you need to make her feminine.
>> No, you don't. Red flag. Red flag. Like, if it's optional, red flag. Don't listen to him.
>> He's dead on. He is dead on accurate. And I've been hearing this most of my life, at least, you know, at the point where I started trying to date. So you figure middle school on. I've heard variations on this same theme of "making her feminine." "You need to handle me." "Can you handle a strong black woman?" You know, I've heard all the variations on that kind of speech and all the different ways it was put to try and make it seem harmless and innocent. But I like, I like the way he called it out for what it is. It's not. [music] And his point stands, you can find women that are already feminine. And a lot of black men are actually doing this. Now, it doesn't necessarily mean you have to go to another country, but you know what? When you look at Western culture as a whole and you start to understand its impact on on women, I understand why. I understand why. So, I'm glad that he's he's foregrounding that. I'm going to let it finish, but I just wanted to catch that.
>> Not to say you need to like, "Why y'all can't do [music] things to make me softer?" I don't understand why you not trying to help me soften up.
>> You see that? "Why can you not do things to help me soften up?" In other words, around the world, women actually, you know, learn principally from their mothers and grandmothers how to be feminine. And yet in the black community, you will find that it is a regular mantra that it is expected that you make her feminine. And if you fall for this idea that the more masculine you are, the more feminine she'll be, you will find yourself in a bad situation, especially over time. Especially over time. So, I'm glad he called this out. It's very true.
But the reason I play it is because you can, you'll hear this kind of delusional, you know, relationship information particularly from women, and you'll experience this ex expectation that you somehow are supposed to make her feel a certain kind of way by serving her interest in doing whatever she wants. Trust me when I tell you, this is a trap. Don't fall for it.
So, delusional behavior, you know, um an adverse response to the very notion of femininity, you know, I want you to keep that in mind. Let's go to the next one.
>> You just don't listen. You just going to be a nasty, funky, dirty ass little girl and you ain't going to be nothing in life. Nothing in life. Nothing. Just Just nothing. No, you're not. You would not.
>> You're going to be just just uh you're GOING TO BE JUST like your family on the other side. Low down, [ __ ] Nothing.
>> Yeah, you will. You slow and [ __ ] You dumb little girl. You just dumb. Just dumb. Just dumb. You're going to be nothing in this world. Nothing.
>> No, you won't.
All right, that was just truly sad. Truly, that was just sad. What you just saw there was, you know, a really an outgrowth of the last clip in the sense that you're talking not only about a lack of femininity, l a lack of maternal awareness. And this is something that, you know, I used to see in past generations of black women, especially when it came to elder black women and younger black women. You didn't have to be her mother for elder black women to impart love, right?
But I think what you have happening now is that you have a lot of competition between older women that don't want to play their position and the younger women they see as a threat. But this little girl, I praise her for her confidence and her inability, or her lack of willingness, I should say, to not accept this kind of hate speech from, you know, this older woman.
But at the end of the day, the lack of femininity, the lack of appreciation for maternal for a maternal culture that's rooted in femininity, I think is at part the issue here. And maybe even a subtle competition with younger generations of women 'cuz this kind of cruelty is uh is sad and ridiculous.
All right. Now, this is, as with any of these clips, not about, and it's not an indictment on all black women, but it is a question, all right, to the culture of black women in the black community.
And when you talk about the kind of arrogance, the solopsism, the the the the treatment and and and behavior uh that we've seen, and don't get me started on the treatment of boys, it's kind of understandable that this is more than just an individual thing where some people will try and make it that, right?
Some people will definitely try and make it just that because it's convenient. It deflects from the point and makes it seem like it's just that one woman. But when it becomes a feature of the culture to the degree where men can talk about it readily too readily in too many different situations, and it's caused them to search out alternative options, and people like to say this is just something that started with Passport Bros in 2020.
And I said this in a couple of shows ago. No, you had brothers that were first experiencing it in the military when they were going to war in other countries. You had it happening with um athletes, especially those who had an opportunity to travel internationally. You had it happening with um, you know, black Muslims, right, who were traveling, marrying multiple women from different cultures. You had it happening with black pan-Africanists and uh you were coming back with African wives. You have it, you know, it it there's so many different groups of black men who have been leaving the country to find feminine women, whether it was feminine black women from other countries or feminine women period. But it was often in response to some of the behavior that you're seeing here. Right.
So, let's check out the next clip. This is a clip you'll find on Worldstar. And as with all of them, fair use, but this is uh pretty short. Um but check this out.
>> Okay, I know the sound is pretty bad. I'm going to see if I can uh help pick. It's going to be bad no matter what on this clip, at least for the first part. But I am going to rewind it and see if I can help you hear it any clearer. All right, it's only 34 seconds altogether. So, try it again.
And moments later, four gunshots are heard. Harris County investigators say earlier in the day, the mother, who hasn't been identified by police, called for service, reporting finding a bullet on her car. As for the shooter, police say he claims the woman grabbed a gun, leading him to grab his own weapon and fire in front of her four and eightyear-old children.
Now, what I've talked about before on here is a a kind of hyper uh confrontational behavior, right? So, this woman is walking up to this man's car with a gun in hand, right? With her children in her car, casually walking up to him, angry, frustrating, and talking to him as she's approaching with a gun in in her hand, right now.
Whether you want to talk about this in terms of intimate partner violence, you want to talk about this in terms of women, black women fighting black women, or do you want to talk about it in terms of walking up on a man with a gun in your hand yelling at him with your children in the car? There's something about this kind of hyperconrontational behavior that I think is predicated on entitlement.
I think the notion, and I've seen this even in a lot of casual situations, where women will get in a man's face and threaten him, right? Threaten him because there's an assumption that he's going to uh back down or he's not going to hurt her.
And I've seen women who were like barely 5t tall, you know, hitting 6'5 men. And I remember the first time I saw that, I was in college, and it was a it was a a a very short woman. She was trying to fight with a basketball player. So, I mean, the the the the height I'm talking about, she's 5' 5'1, he's 6'5, and she's getting in his face and she's swinging on him and she's talking to him like somebody she can beat down.
And the only reason that she's able to do that is because he has no interest in doing so because, you know, this is something I noticed at a young age. He doesn't stand anything to win. There's nothing he gains from this. If he beats her up, he's an abuser. If he lets her beat him up, he's a [ __ ]. He's a punk. He's weak. If he holds her down, there's still, especially these days, there's still a question of abuse that he might be responsible for in terms of what she might accuse him of. If he runs, he's a punk. There's there's there's very little that an average dude can do in a situation where you have an aggressive woman, right, that makes you look good, right? So, most men just avoid it all together, right? Because if there's anything physical that happens, you end up wondering if you got to go to jail behind whatever she accuses you of. Right.
But the hypercon confrontational nature I think is not I'm not something saying that this is something that's in the DNA of black women. I think this is something that's been cultivated through policy.
And you'll notice one of the things I say most honestly on most consistently on this show and most honestly is that much of the behavior that black men complain about in black women is policy induced. It has been cultivated over generations.
If you have abuse laws that are primarily practiced on the ben for the benefit of women and to the detriment of men, how do you think that's going to condition women's behavior over time? There's an entitlement that comes about from that. There's a sense that you can't do anything to me.
This is why you can have a 5'1 pick a fight with a man, a 5'1 woman pick a fight with a 6'5 man, and treat him like she's he's somebody she can actually beat down, right?
But when you start adding guns to the equation now, it doesn't matter how big, how tall, how fast, how strong, you know, a bullet can take anybody out. And if you're already dealing with someone that doesn't necessarily have an appreciation for your life or well-being because of that same entitlement, the belief that she's fundamentally superior to you, better than you.
And why wouldn't she think that if the culture of the environment and the policies of the environment tell her that she doesn't have to be treated the way a man does regardless of her behavior? We already know for the last decade, right, that the statistics show that women, you know, get 63% less sentencing for the same crimes as men. So, she's being taught that she's above the law. She doesn't have to be subject to it the same way you do.
And if this is what she's been growing up seeing and it's been passed down multigenerationally, it shouldn't be surprised when there's a sense of superiority and an idea that she's not culpable for her behavior. She can do whatever she wants, and you can just take it.
So, the hyper confrontational nature that I'm talking about, especially in the black community, again, is one that's been cultivated over time and heavily influenced by policy because she doesn't have to sub be subject to the same political uh uh uh treatment, particularly in regard to law enforcement that black men do. And I think this has shaped and reshaped her behavior, right?
And it's not an accident that this leads to some type of solopcystic behavior. Not an accident at all, because if if you have policies that allow for it, and it doesn't even matter if you're talking about a poor environment or a middle class environment in the black community, she gets more access to resources than you do.
Even though the man in the house laws are no longer in operation, you know, formally speaking, but the treatment by welfare institutions hasn't changed much in the last 50 years despite that those practices are no longer overtly engaged or overtly observed. Right?
So, if you're poor, you get access to fewer resources. If you're middle class, you still get access to fewer resources. And especially if you've done any amount of time, you'll find that it's much harder to try and operate especially in white collar environments, right?
So, black men find themselves in situations where black women have been given certain advantages, at least until recently. But let's see what else is going on.
Now, this is a clip that I was sent on Facebook a couple days ago. And it reads, "8,000 black women showed up in less than 24 hours for a voting rights call, and I was one of them." This comes from evolve um_365, right? See a little black woman in the little picture image next to that. She says, "Stacy Abrams, Donna Brazil, Latasha Brown, Cherylyn Eil or EIL. (I butchered that.) Karen Finny all on one stage. This is—now listen to this. This is our civil rights moment. We are organized. We are mobilized. And we are not to be played with." And I know this is a a small image. See if I can. Yeah, I'm sorry. All right, it's not letting me enlarge it for you, so I apologize. But it reads in the image below, it says, "8,000 black women in less than 24 hours. A powerful conversation, powerful call to action. This is our civil rights moment. Time to organize. #win with black women." Right?
So, so far I've shown you examples of delusional behavior, of cruelty and competition with younger women, hyperconfrontational behavior rooted in entitlement and policy. And again, even the behavior to the competition with children and the delusional behavior about expectations and relationships are a product of policy. It's just slightly different ones.
But um in this regard, right, we're looking at this kind of political gyocentrism, right now. There's there's no other group of women that function like this. The closest you can call you can say do that is are white women, right? Because on the the optics of it, they'll hold these kind of events for white women, but white women at the end of the day understand that their politics filters through their relationships with their men.
This is one of the biggest problems that we have understanding how whites operate on gender terms, because they're having a family fight. They're having a slap fight between black women—I mean, between white men and white women. We regard it as a war. It's not. It's a family fight 'cuz both white women and white men agree that you you as a black person are supposed to stay in your position. Nobody's advocating for you to be on equal terms. They're just having a slap fight between themselves about who who should control what. So, let's get that clear.
But secondly, when I say that they operate as a unit, the last two times, if you really want to put it on a right versus left dynamic, the last two times Trump got elected, white women significantly shifted their politics to put him in office. Now, these were said to be the same white women that overwhelmingly vote on the left. Right?
When it came to Hillary Clinton, this was white women's white women's opportunity to get a white woman president in office. Check the record for white women's voting patterns, right? Check it. Or at least [music] uh you know the the the the attempt, right, to get her in there. What were white women's behavioral responses? Whenever there's been an an opportunity to put a woman in office, look at what they do. They side with white men. This is not accidental. So that being said, for black women to try and separate themselves from black men and become their own political dynamic, their own political uh demographic, this is inconsistent with any other group.
Black women are the only ones that that that don't understand apparently the value and importance of aligning with their men. Black women go to war with their men. This last election, as soon as Trump won, the first the first people that black women blamed were black men.
Despite that, going back for, you know, repeated elections, black men vote second highest progressively on the left than any other demographic. And they're the most voter disenfranchised. Black women don't suffer from voter disenfranchisement like black men do. And black men vote to the second highest degree in the same political ideology as black women. And yet, whenever the election doesn't go the way black women want want it to go, the first people they blame is black men.
But in the last couple elections, you've had more and more black men questioning the allegiance to the left. And you've had at least two categories of those black men. You have black men that go completely right and start voting Republican. And you have other black men that either disconnect from voting altogether, or they vote third party, or some other, you know, party that isn't aligned with the right or left. This is this is the how black men have been questioning this hyper allegiance to the left with no benefits, with no, you know, nothing that that they're getting for their vote.
And in many instances, black women castigated those men as long as they didn't vote blue. It it it didn't even matter if you were not voting at all. You were dismissed as somebody voting for Trump and there therefore bad. And I can't tell you how many people called to to condemn me after the last election for for Trump winning. And I was like, "I didn't even vote for Trump." But they assume that because, you know, some black men didn't vote at all or some vote third party that that's the same thing. And all black men who don't vote blue are inherently in one bucket because we're not even afforded the respect of being heard by the party and by many black women about why about our political outlook.
But what you're looking at here is a kind of political gyocracy. This is an extension of the black gyocracy. It's it's political arm. They operate amongst themselves. And most importantly, and this is not something they're they they like to put on, you know, on display, but this is the reality reality of it, they're subsidized by white feminists and white liberals.
So, you don't have to see white women in the pictures showing up at the organizational events or events like this. White women subsidize this. White women for the most part are the ones that gave them the option to operate as an independent demographic, or "quote unquote" independent 'cuz they're not really independent, but they present it. And this is what has instigated their pull away from black men. The same thing that tempted them in the 1970s is still in play in 2026. It's the option to work with white women to secure their position as women. And no matter how many times they find themselves disappointed by white women's refusal to let them operate they the way they want to operate, they still keep doing it, and they choose it over black men. So what you're seeing here is the ginocracy at play.
I'm going to give you another example. This one here, I put this on my blog. It's also on my Substack as well. So if you're not familiar, this is my my my blog newblackmasculinities.wordpress.com. And this particular piece is called "Black Women and the Long-standing Struggle for Self- Agilation." This is posted May 3rd of this year. And uh it's by yours truly, and it's very short. It's very short. It's like a paragraph and a half, but it says, "Black women have gone from two to three months of se self agilation a year. I've long since talked about how Black History Month has turned into Black Women's History Month."
Now, this is because I'm on a college campus that is predominately, when you look at the black population, is predominately female. So, what ends up what I've noticed in the last decade is when Black History Month rolls around, it's just kind of turned into Black Women's History Month, right? And there's this kind of air where acknowledging men is kind of considered a phauxa. It's it's it's nobody's going to really call you out for acknowledging black men, but they're not going to cheer as hard. And if you leave the program up to them, there'll just not be any black men recognized. And usually when you see them invite speakers to come to campus, they're overwhelmingly women. They're overwhelmingly women. So just is what [music] it is.
But then it says black women also unofficially turned women's history month in March into black women's history month, too. And that's the thing. When you notice that Black History Month became Black Women's History Month and March, the following month is Women's History Month. Well, what do you think black women did with that? For the most part, if you've been on a college campus that's predominately black female, which is most of them, because outside of Morehouse or any allmale campus, any campus where you have black students, the majority are more than likely female, unless you count athletic teams, but they're kind of culturally disconnected from much of the campus. They have a whole segregated space that they operate in, but for the most part, those two months of the year have turned into Black Women's History Month in too many spaces. And you're starting to see this in media as well. Posters and commercials for Black History Month, you know, show fewer and fewer black men. It is what it is.
But this is the twist. Says, "Now, apparently April is officially Black Women's History Month, too, especially on college campuses. This means there are about 3 months of solopistic self-edgulation or self- worship that black men have to endure. Well, we're told that focusing on black men to celebrate is inherently misogynistic, exploitive, and alienates black women, right?" That's actually the woman that actually started this, but they officially made April Black Women's History Month. So, you have Black History Month, Women's History, Women's History Month, and then Black Women's History Month. Three months in a row, February, March, and April. So, what I think you're going to see is uh just a whole period of self- adulation, right? But this is salopypsism.
So, understand, we've talked about delusional behavior. We've talked about cruelty and competition with younger women. We've talked about hyperconfrontational behavior. We've talked about political uh gyocentrism. And now we're talking about a solopsism. This is really more of a culturalism that we're seeing because for decades now, black women have been separating themselves from the black community. But they won't admit to it. They leave one foot in the tub, so to speak, of the black community, and they're, you know, building a whole another tub. And there are many of them that just have both feet all together in the black women's camp. But they they straddled the fence. So, you know, because they're black when it's convenient, and they're black women when it's opportunistic.
So, when you see them moving politically in a manner that's separate from the black community, I mean, this was the whole crux of Ice Cube versus the cocktails with Queens. This is when we black men ran headlong into that wall where you found out for the first time that there is a distinctly different political view in the black community that that does not include black men at all. Not sons, not husbands, not fathers, not brothers. Nope. It is purely gyocratic. Right?
And now you're running into this on a cultural level where you see them where you see them advocating for themselves again to turn April into another self-aggulating period, right?
But the reason I play all of these is because outside of entitlement, there's another aspect that influences their behavior. So I talk about entitlement as a product of policy, but there's another aspect of it.
Now, these two that I'm going to play for you, this is a married couple. I think they call their their show base camp um or Based Camp, and this is Malcolm and Simone Collins. Now, this is a weird weird little group, and they're hard to pin down um because I thought they were leftist. He identifies as conservative. I heard him say that on a show um I found today. And at the same time in this show, I'm although I'm not going to play the whole thing. I'm only going to play a few minutes 'cuz I think overall this is about an hour and a half long. He says that he identifies as trans in the sense that he doesn't uh pursue any ideal form of masculinity. You know, matter of fact, they both kind of look a bit asexual, but to my understanding, they have children. Whether or not those children are adopted or not, I can't say. But I don't think they are, you know. So, but my point is, politically he identifies himself as both uh conservative and at the same time trans. So, they're a weird little group, but they have a conversation in this show, and a lot of you sent me this, and I've watched it several times over the last few months just to kind of decide how I wanted to approach it. But, they're going to talk about black women. And so, I'm going to play a couple of minutes from this, about four minutes. But, you know me, I do everything on one and a half speed. So, if that's too fast, you can, you know, go watch the original clip and check it out. The the episode is called "Woke Leaves Black Women to the Wolves." It's bad. That's what they say. So, um, check this out. They kind of speak, you know, a little fast, you know, but, uh, let's see if we can get it going. Let me get the sound right and check it out.
>> Not really. Efforts to help specific groups have backfired, ultimately hurting them. And I think really the punch line of this is what you actually see when you look at other or previous like favoritism or affirmative action programs. They were never actually meant to help underprivileged groups. And this is super interesting. I didn't really put this all together until I just started doing research for this episode. But really what it is is a dominant power, be it like a regime or colonial power, chooses a specific minority group to basically be its minions and execute its prerogative. And then when that colonial power like either loses some footing or there's a regime change, that group of minions that they had empowered disproportionately to do their bidding gets major backlash.
>> You see this with Jews a lot.
>> You see this with Jews. You see this I'm going to give examples from Rwanda. I'm going to give examples from Protestants in England. I So what I'm pointing out though is what we don't realize is that black women in this in this instance were the minions of the latest colonial power. We literally call the the progress pride flag the colonizers flag of the urban monoculture. The urban monoculture had appointed black women as their minority group minions to execute their bidding and had installed them systematically power.
>> Mhm.
>> Oh. And and what's fascinating is as soon as people realize, "Well, this is unfair 'cuz only black women have access to it. Why don't we just make trans people our community of power?" They abandon black women.
>> Yeah. And and and then since there's been at least a partial regime change, both of those groups have seen a major falling out. And what's what sucks if you like let's say you're you're a tootssie in Rwanda or you're you know some other group that has been given disproportionate power by the regime in charge or by a foreign colonist right that foreign group or the regime that's in power like they're sitting high right they're above the fray right they're they're fine like okay we'll go with tootsism in Rwanda and and for context I'll just jump forward to like this example of what of what happened because I think not that many people are familiar with Rwanda genocide because it's kind of depressing Belgian colonial authorities radicalized and elevated the Tootszie minority as superior reserving most education and administrative posts for them and then using Tootszie chiefs to enforce basically force the labor on the HOU majority. And then after the late 1950s and there was an independent struggle and in the 1959 to-62 social revolution, HOU elites seized power, carried out massacres, imposed systematic discrimination and drove hundreds of thousands of Tootszie into exile and that laid the groundwork for subsequent 1994 genocide. So the Tootsies went from being like given all this privilege and extra education and kind of given the power to like anger a lot of people and then in the end they got genocided and it's just a really good it's one of the more extreme.
Okay, now I'm not going to stop here, but I will say I do believe there's been a divide and conquer policy applied toward black men and women. I do believe that, and I do believe, just like she's describing, black women have been treated in a certain way that black men haven't, right? But the weird part is both you and she can know that and still not be able to have a successful relationship. Because part of the problem is that entitlement runs so deep that it's very difficult for someone to walk away from it [music] or to not operate with it. This is not something that I'm new to. I've seen it a lot. It is very difficult. It's very difficult for certain women to be accountable because they haven't had to be. They've been quite comfortable blaming black men and successful in doing so because they've had access to the apparatus that allows them to make those kinds of statements knowing full well that black men can't respond on the same tier, or at least haven't been able to until they built their own platforms in social media in a manner that was not ordained by the elites.
See, when you when when you can go to the movies in the 80s and see a Stephen Spielberg made film about black women being abused by black men, that's being ordained by the elite. When you see a bunch of brothers on YouTube building platforms that have no business shaping the world around them, that's men building from the ground up. Those are very different approaches, and they align with what she's talking about. Even though she's being a bit dismissive, but this isn't her history. This isn't any history that's relevant to her. So she's kind of giggling about it as she talks about it. But for many people, especially if you were a Rwanda, this was this was life or death, right? So she's kind of making light of these historical moments. But she's not entirely incorrect. She's simply talking about the ways that certain groups are allowed a degree of privilege in order to operate against another, and how this serves the ruling elite to turn one against the other. So she's not wrong, and this has happened with black men and women. But e but knowing this and and her knowing it, it can still not lead to any kind of constructive relationship, especially at the end of the day if she's been raised in multiple generations of entitlement. But I'll let her continue.
>> Dream and stark cases where a very externally created privileged status then intensified into backlash that was really violent. But this whole time the Belgians are fine, right? And it's not like all tootssis were like they actively choosing to part to participate in this, right? You know, this is over multi-generate. Like in 1994 is when the genocide took place and a lot of this stuff was happening in the early 50s. So like kids of people who had like no participation in this are getting caught up in it. And that's what really sucks about this, you know, favoritism is like a very small minority of of the of the of the the minions, we'll say the colonial minions gets to benefit from the favoritism. The DEI, the affirmative action, the whatever it is, right? And then everyone else in their group pays a very big price. Typically, I would say a disproportionate price. And I just didn't realize until today that that is probably happening to black women. But I have this great short little essay that I came across just a little a little treasure by one of the one of the black women who I would say was—
>> Okay. So I'm going to end that there right now. What she's talking about and what they're talking about, I guess, is on point, but they're not the first to do it. Matter of fact, they're just kind of shooting off the hip. What's better to do is to go to, you know, some earlier work by um somebody who's a bit more informed on this matter. Now I would highly suggest you check out this book, "Social Dominance" by uh Jim Sedanius and Felicia Praau, right? And it deals with this more in depth, and you particularly want to go to the section u you know uh entitled "The Subordinate Male Target Hypothesis Revisited: Interface Between Patriarchy and Arbitrary Set Hierarchy." Now I'm going to read a little over a page of this and just kind of explain why I'm using it. Right?
So it reads as, and I'm just reading the highlighted portion: "As we recall, the subordinate male target hypothesis, SMTH, predicts that arbitrary set discrimination will be particularly severe against subordinate males." Now, Sidanius is not talking explicitly about black or white. He's talking about any context really where one group has colonized another. He's basically making the argument, and I'm watering this down a great deal just to make a point in a very short podcast episode. What he's basically saying is there are particular set of gender dynamics and gender relationships that tend to play out when one group of people dominate another. So when he talks about subordinate males, he's talking about the males that have been accosted, you know, or colonized by another group. So this is not, you know, he's not limiting this to black people. He's talking about pretty much throughout human history, wherever this has occurred, you tend to see some of the same gender practices.
It says uh "rather than subordinate females." So another way, I'll go back a little bit. "As we recall, the subordinate male target hypothes hypothesis predicts that arbitrary set discrimination will be particularly severe against subordinate males rather than subordinate females. Our review of the empirical evidence concerning institutional discrimination in part three showed a great deal of evidence consistent with this view. Though women from subordinate arbitrary set groups, (we're talking here about black women), clearly suffer from gender discrimination along with women from dominant arbitrary set groups, (white women). The arbitrary set discrimination against these subordinate women is either relatively mild or non-existent. The arbitrary set discrimination that we do find is mainly directed against arbitrary set men, (black men). This pattern was found in several types of data including perceptions of discrimination, archival data, and well-controlled field experimentation and across several domains including employment and and salary statistics. Um encounters with the police and the criminal justice system, housing, health care treatment, the banking and financial sectors, retail markets, and differential educational outcomes. This interaction between arbitrary set status and gender is not restricted to African-Americans, but has also been found with respect to whatever ethnic group is subordinate within the society in question, including Native and Latino Americans; African, Arab, Yugoslav immigrants to Sweden; and West Indian and Asian immigrants to the United Kingdom." Right.
"Recalling three concrete examples from part three will help make this point very clear. first in the best of its—" Let me see if I can enlarge this 'cuz I'm getting a little blind here. All right. Um, [snorts] [laughter] okay. "Recalling three uh concrete examples from part three will help make this point very clear. Um, 'oh crap, it's kind of too big on y'all screens. What? All right, that's weird. All right, sorry about that. Ah, damn it. All right.' Uh, first and the best of its type yet done, the Hood and Cordival study of the British criminal justice system disclosed that although there was rather strong evidence of racial discrimination against black men, there was no evidence of such discrimination against black women. (C. Chapter 8). Audit studies of housing discrimination show that people are less likely to sell a home to black men than black women. (C. Chapter 5). Further, clear and unambiguous experimental support for the SMTH was found in Ian Aries Field Studies of Discrimination in the Automobile Retail Market. (C. Chapter 5). As you'll recall, this study found that while black women were required to pay about $231 more for a given automobile than equivalent white women, black men were required to pay more than 1,130 more for a given automobile than uh equivalent white men. Most tellingly, this uh the evidence showed that as opposed to the motives driving discrimination against both white and black women, one of the primary motives uh driving discrimination against black men was a desire to harm." Right.
"All right. So, why is arbitrary set discrimination more strongly directed towards subordinate men and subordinate women? We suggest that the thesis of the differential male female reproductive strategy might supply part of the answer to this riddle."
Now, let's be clear. What I'm reading right now, the next couple sentences I read, is the whole focus of this episode of today's show. I am explaining to you black women's uh some some black women's behavior, or a good portion, or at least features of black women's culture in regard to behavior heavily influenced by policy and entitlement and tokenization, right? This is something that uh Simone and Malcolm Collins talk about later in the show. I didn't use the clip, but they actually talk about black women as grappling with being um, you know, released from their position as tokens by white society. So you got that you got you got entitlement, you got policy, you got tokenization, right? I'm explaining behavior. And this is the fourth component.
What he's what Sedanius is about to break down explains the dynamic that guides behavior uh on gender terms gendered and racial in this context in regard to black women. So he says um, "namely dominant men," (here he's talking about white men), "will tend to view all females from both dominant and subordinary arbitrary sets as reproductive as a as a reproductive source. Though they may restrict women's economic and political power in order to increase the necessity of women relying on male mates. Dominant men should do little to actually harm or debilitate women who may become mothers or caretakers to their children." Right?
So the entitlement that we've talked about earlier on, right? The influence from policy that's handed down from generations, right? The cruelty and competition with younger women for status and position. The delusional expectations of men in relationships, especially in regard to a lack of femininity or an unwillingness to compete with other women for black men by improving or increasing one's femininity. The hyper confrontational behavior that comes about from an environment that does not punish women on the [music] same terms it punishes men. The soypism rooted in self- agilation that we saw in regard to uh, you know, black women's history month three times three, or the political gyo gyocentrism that we see taking place with black women, and we have seen for the last few decades, which by the way is the reason we have the, or part of the reason we have the black male political agenda, because most black men have never thought about themselves as a political dem demographic separate from the black community. We're kind of forced to do so because the more we look at it, and, you know, the feminization of Africana studies is not helping the matter, the more we learn to look at blackness strictly in terms of women's out women's worldview black black women's worldview. So now we're actually starting to ask the question, what are black men's political interests? And we're finding that there are actually quite a few. And I've challenged people before, if you don't believe me, read, sit down with a group of women and read through the black male political agenda, and see how much hostility you experience, or especially as a proxy for me, because of the political interests outlined there that differentiate black men's political interest from black women's. But for the most part, we've been trained to believe that they're the same thing. Black women's political interests are black political interests, but we're finding that they've been advocating for themselves for quite a while. So any, again, looking at all those different elements—
I brought up the fact that that we're talking about an entitlement born of policy and behavioral uh uh treatment passed down tokenization and now going through a period of being rejected from that position of tokenization. I mean literally since Trump took office, losing positions, losing status, losing even the applicability of degrees that have been obtained years ago. All of this comes about from the same sources.
But the last piece to that puzzle is really the relationship with white society, i.e. white men, right? Because black women were sexual competition to white women as far as black as far as white men's interests. But at the end of the day, white men are still going to prioritize white women politically while exploiting the differences in the black community. And at the same time, black women have been socialized in an environment where their interest as reproductive options to white men allowed them access greater access than black men have had.
This is the birth of the gynecracy. It is rooted in fundamentally the sexual interest in of white men who allowed them some degree of status that black men didn't get. We even saw this on plantations. an extra cut of meat, an extra blanket, control of the doicile decision making on her behalf, uh because you know she's speaking to master and and getting the you know his approval on what may happen. And then of course the biggest you know component of it is she's bearing children that look like him.
Now, these are not necessar not necessarily children, he claims, but that doesn't mean that there's not going to be a different type of treatment taking place between white men and black women than white men and black men. And as I've said before, even if a white woman, and we know they were incredibly cruel uh during slavery and still can be to this day, but even if a white woman really took to a black man and wanted to bolster him, whether we were talking about slavery or now, at the end of the day, she never had the capacity to do so beyond what white men could do for black women.
Now, this is not the politics that I'm advocating for for black men is not rooted in a jealousy of black women and their access and their and their relationships to white society, right? They they remain reproductive options to white men. And then there's this false sense of universal sisterhood with white women. So, their relationship to white society has put them in a position of tokenization, especially during an era of feminization, right, where all things or most things are starting to shift to the feminine. has advantaged them. And many of them turned around and said, "Nigga, you ain't shit."
This is where [ __ ] you ain't [ __ ] came from. It came from black men's inability to navigate society as smoothly as black women because black women enjoyed certain benefits that they never admitted to publicly. And if anything, gaslit black men when black men would point it out and they would say, "No, [ __ ] it's because you're not as smart as I am. You're not as sharp as I am. You're not as capable as I am. If you just dress the way I tell you to dress and speak the way I tell you to speak, you'd be able to do it. And every time you tried, it wouldn't work. And she would just tell you it was your own pathology. It was only your own failure that played into why you couldn't advance the way she was able to.
Now, that's not to say that there aren't black men that have done better than black women. But it is to say that many of those black men did so in spite of a lack of resource, not because they had one. So anyway, curious to know your thoughts. Hope all of you are well. Let me know in the comments section what you think about what I've said, what you've experienced, what you I witnessed. All right, and I'll holl at y'all later. Peace.
