    My conclusion from watching this video is we need to listen to married black women. Because these monolith echo chambers of celebrity women on these platforms aren’t helping anyone. I am married, my momma is still married to my dad. My grandparents are still married/widowed. All my male and female cousins are married. It’s not easy but these videos aren’t helping. Listen to a vetted counselor, family members in a solid marriage of over 20 yrs, or a family friend. I want black couples to win and succeed like my family but this ain’t it fam.

      @@jayc5756 this is still a conversation by single people that only hits such a niche demographic and the people having a discussion of anything are not the best people to speak on relationships.

    To Ebony's point at 13:20, the black community is trapped in a superficial caricature of black masculinity. A tall, hypermasculine felon will be treated better than a new college grad in almost every setting. Ebony and the cast could showcase the 2024 black male law school graduates, but they don't hit the radar for some reason 🤔. These guys exist, why not lift their voices and publicly praise them?

    The uncomfortable and disappointing truth is that when you mistreat someone for so long that they will inevitably develop coping mechanisms to survive without you. As a black man who is HAPPILY married, the reality is that black, white, Asian, African, Hispanic or whatever race of woman you want to interject will ALWAYS follow a good man who is worth following. Healthy leadership in the black community used to be celebrated and touted as valuable and desirable. Not so much today. Listen to your favorite rapper. Watch your favorite social media influencer. Where do we challenge, celebrate and encourage black men to lead in a healthy and loving way? We literally just eviscerated J. Cole for apologizing publicly. We didn't want to see that man troubleshoot his poor behavior and ideologies in real time. Black women have been hard, rough and tough because unfortunately black men have tossed them, dragged them and dogged them and they are refusing to take it any more. Now, with all that being said. It does not excuse a lot of the gender wars, toxic biases and destructive behavior of some women who refuse to allow men to be the healthy men that they are. But I do understand the circumstances that have brought us to where we currently are.

      I like your thinking in general. I would add “a certain kind/type of women” will always follow a good man. Let’s not act like there are not women out there who run through good men. For whatever reason (and there are many) and if men are honest, we all have a story about that one who broke our heart. Or, we know a man, who was a good man and he chose his mate poorly. You alluded to it, but this happens way more than we want to admit. I think the answer lies somewhere in middle, where we have men who want to exercise healthy leadership and women who want to appreciate that leadership in a healthy way. Not according to the masculinity she feels/operates out of in her core. That’s not healthy…

    • @ninagrace-lee8323

      Women will follow a good leader. If she doesn’t, then leave her alone. You can’t redirect the conversation to what women will and women won’t do, when you haven’t taken responsibility as a leader. Real leadership is owning the outcome, good and bad. There will always be rebellious people, but I doubt you really wanted to partner and work with them anyway.
      The cooperative women who want the support will follow. The women that are desirable will police themselves at that point.

    Unfortunately, this comes down to simple math and modern women’s ability or inability to adapt to a changing volatile market. Simply put, the men you want are rare. There are only so many Michael B. Jordan’s to go around. On the other hand, the women we’re attracted to, and have access to, are in every city. Ladies, businesses that don’t listen to their primary consumers, go under. Some of us are pulling for you. But, you’ll have to reduce those wish lists and soften up.

  • @vonpayton2041
    @vonpayton2041 Před měsícem +1

    The real issue I see here and in a lot of these types of discussions is that there is a mentality that exists and has been bought into. In other words, these types of ladies like the psychology of what they’re saying. They want to be this way. They will say I want to be pretty, or I want to be pink and soft. But, all you have to do is look at their body language, tone, voice inflections to see that they are acting in bad faith. To become that which they say they want, would require them to do a 180 change. Which I believe they really don’t want to do. Because, it would mean they have to change from something they actually like, to something they dislike, just in order to get what they want. I don’t care what situation/scenario you put up against that, it’s going to be a struggle. IMHO, I think that a fair, open, direct and brutally honest discussion needs to be had (by all sides) to examine what we have actually bought into. I’m married 36 years, but what I see out there looks pretty bleak…

      What you are speaking to is a problem with men. You want a woman to come into a situation relaxed and guard down. Foolish. Those women are taken advantage of and abused. For me, a man has to earn my respect in the same way I have to earn his. I'm independent until I meet a man reliable enough to depend on. He should move in the same way.

    #1) The average black woman in America is making roughly $40K annually. the average black woman in America isn't walking around here making $200K+ a year. If so they wouldn't be asking for money every time someone turns around.
    #2) sure women had to depend on a man to survive. But it was up to the men to also make sure they took care of the family as well. It was the men who were out there dying on the battlefields of the civil war and Nazi Germany in World war II. In Ukraine right now. The women were allowed to leave the men had the stay and fight. So this idea that men had it all fuzzy and warm while women were slaves is. . Whatever.
    But my main point i want to hit on is this. I'm perfectly fine with women being independent. But what women fail to understand is that every action is a reaction. And the thing is... Men simply don't have to be men of old anymore. Men shouldn't have to be providers and protectors anymore. Women should have to register for the draft. I tell men all the time. Do whatever makes you happy. If playing video games all day makes you happy... do it. If you're happy living a minimalist lifestyle...That's perfectly ok. Me, personally, I think marriage should be outlawed. That way everybody is forced to stay single. That pretty much solves a lot of problems. Everybody is forced to fend for themselves. 😆

    Ebony is right. The Iyanla Vanzant discourse was hilarious because Ebony was never wrong. She’s light skinned and beautiful, very accomplished, and is telling us what other women of her caliber are seeing. It’s anecdotal but supported by evidence. It’s just falling on deaf ears
    The only way Black women would ever accept what Ebony is saying is if a man said it. If a black man (not even an attractive one) said EXACTLY this, he would be praised. Because it’s actually the truth - there’s a dearth of Black men. And no matter how black women perform femininity, you are not promised a man. Many BW will continue to be single whether they are masculine or not. I believe the latest marriage rate might be 28% for BW? Fact check that please.
    It’s sad but I believe many BW don’t want to be pessimistic about their reality so they cling to cognitive distortions or delusions. When the truth is obvious and universal. Even white people are noticing the dropping birth rate and low marriage rate - they’re just doing something about it. While we are debating what Ebony is saying, other communities are implementing public policy. Clearly THEY know the implications of what she’s discussing

As soon as the men goed into hard periods, these women will jump ship and say, "I had a good man but he wasn't good enough ".
      Until women starts being in their place, men will see them as equals and they will have to do everything by themselves as they say. Period.
