Consider the totality of Donald Trump, what he stands for, who his base of followers are and how they feel about Black people, and then think about what it means when a prominent Black figure supports this.
The fact that this has to be explained to people is wild to me.
this is what the fuck is wrong with y'all. y'all really think this is a “difference of opinion” political climate. this isn’t some shit where we disagree on whether or not the government should fund the arts, this is a president that has inspired racists, the kkk, nazis and neo-nazis. since he’s taken office hate crimes have gone up 6 folds,his cabinet is dismantling civil right protects, he is a xenophobe of the highest order putting thousands of muslim lives at risk, a pathological liar, has displayed all the traits of a white supremacist and more and you think it’s just a difference of opinion?
i mean fuck his base voted for him because of racial resentment aka RACISM! they were upset that black and brown people were getting all these rights and privileges that once belongs almost exclusively to white people!!!
i’m glad she came back and fixed it (athough it might be too late given that he first tweet got 300k likes and the second only 4k). still she tried. the history of false rape allegations against black men as a means to justify everything from prison to lynching is pretty damn long. even today black people are more likely than any other race to be wrongfully convicted of crimes including sexual assault (https://www.cnn.com/2017/03/07/politics/blacks-wrongful-convictions-study/index.html). on the subject of sexual assault, black men are 3.5 more likely to be innocently convicted of false rape accusation (https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/3/7/14834454/exoneration-innocence-prison-racism). so it’s no fucking game.
still i get where she’s coming from and as a rage tweeter myself, i can only judge but so much haha.
The in-crowd of that joke understand that it’s mocking white people who feel the need to act like they are victims of “reverse racism”/ racial oppression whenever the same rights, opportunities, protections and privileges white people have long enjoyed are given to NON-whites. So the in-crowd gets that it’s a mockery/satirizing of white people who suffer from this delusion/condition also know as “white fragility” as well as a mockery of white ignorance which, among many ways, is displayed through this fake victimization anytime non-white people gain anything or when white people are put in their place..
The out-crowd which is the group that you belong to, it seems, that interprets things like a non-white person getting the job instead of you, gaining protections from government, standing up for their rights, #blacklivesmatter, calling for the end of white supremacy, affirmative action, calling out cases of white privilege and no longer taking your racism and anti-blackness sitting down as signs of “white genocide.” yep you’re the out-crowd and we expect you to get offended and we enjoy it. in getting offended by the joke you also expose yourself as a racist fucktard which is also a goals.
During world war 2, right after the events at Pearl Harbor, the US did the same thing to Asian people. They kept them in internment (a lighter version of concentration) camps because they suspected that all of them were from Japan. History is repeating itself before our very eyes and it's just disgusting to say the least. #ThisIsAmerica
The barrage of news reports about the black marriage rate gives the impression that African-American women’s chances of walking down the aisle are bleak. A Yale University study found that just 42 percent of black women are married, and a variety of high profile news networks such as CNN and ABC picked that figure up and ran with it. But researchers Ivory A. Toldson of Howard University and Bryant Marks of Morehouse College question the accuracy of this finding.
“The often-cited figure of 42 percent of black women never marrying includes all black women 18 and older,” Toldson told the Root.com. “Raising this age in an analysis eliminates age groups we don’t really expect to be married and gives a more accurate estimate of true marriage rates.”
Toldson and Marks found that 75 percent of black women marry before they turn age 35 after examining census data from 2005 to 2009. Moreover, black women in small towns have higher marriage rates than white women in urban centers such as New York and Los Angeles, Toldson remarked in the New York Times.
Educated Black Women Have it Harder
Getting a college degree is the worst thing a black woman can do if she wants to get married, right? Not exactly. News stories about black marriage often mention that more black women pursue higher education than black men—by a 2-to-1 ratio, by some estimates. But what these pieces leave out is that white women also earn college degrees more than white men do, and this gender imbalance hasn’t hurt white women’s chances at matrimony. What’s more, black women who finish college actually improve their chances of marrying rather than lower them.
“Among black women, 70 percent of college graduates are married by 40, whereas only about 60 percent of black high school graduates are married by that age,” Tara Parker-Pope of the New York Times reported.
The same trend is at play for black men. In 2008, 76 percent of black men with a college degree married by age 40. In contrast, only 63 percent of black men with just a high school diploma tied the knot. So education increases the likelihood of marriage for both African American men and women. Also, Toldson points out that black women with college degrees are more likely to marry than white female high school dropouts.
Rich Black Men Marry Out
Black men drop black women as soon as they reach a certain level of success, don’t they? While plenty of rap stars, athletes and musicians may choose to date or marry interracially when they achieve fame, the same is not true for the bulk of successful black men. By analyzing census data, Toldson and Marks found that 83 percent of married black men who earned at least $100,000 annually got hitched to black women.
The same is the case for educated black men of all incomes. Eighty-five percent of black male college graduates married black women. Generally, 88 percent of married black men (no matter their income or educational background) have black wives. This means that interracial marriage should not be held responsible for the singleness of black women.
Black Men Don’t Earn as Much as Black Women
Just because black women are more likely to graduate from college than their male counterparts doesn’t mean that they out-earn black men.
Actually, black men are more likely than black women to bring home at least $75,000 annually. Plus, double the number of black men than women make at least $250,000 annually. Because of pervasive gender gaps in income, black men remain the breadwinners in the African American community.
These numbers indicate that there are more than enough financially successful black men to go around for black women. Of course, not every black woman is looking for a breadwinner. Not every black woman is even seeking marriage. Some black women are happily single. Others are gay, lesbian or bisexual and were unable to legally wed those they love until 2015 when the Supreme Court overturned the ban on gay marriage. For heterosexual black women in search of marriage, however, the forecast is not nearly as gloomy as has been portrayed in the media.
