I hear you and get the logic you’re working from.
But Im also stuck here: You say I’ve been trained to resist Black men but isn’t framing any disagreement as “proof” of programming its own form of containment? Giving no value to my humanity, freedom of thought, or even growth in understanding…
You say I’m a tool of the system. But what about Black men? You think the system only targeted us?
It told y’all disengagement is power and called that leadership. But that makes it so there is no black legacy, which is the result the system wanted in the first place! RIGHT?
And most importantly, you talk about alignment, but never define it. What does alignment even look like? Is it partnership? Is it control? Is it women following silently? OR Is it both of us healing and that creating natural divine alignment?
I’m aligned to God first, then to healing, then to honorable leadership & then to legacy.
But who aligns to control disguised as protection or leadership without love? —The desperate and unworthy and no man is attracted to a woman like that. You want women who know their worth and exude value because they will become the mother of your children and your legacy.
So respectfully, it’s not just “which way, Black woman”…
It’s which way black people? Because if we aren’t both walking toward healing, we’re just talking in circles and welcoming our demise.
This isn't about men's feelings, we have the data, decades worth, that's what is fueling the men, not just feelings.
You are not our mirrors, you are our sheathes, you don't realize this, and the only people who can point out where your chains are, you've been trained not to listen to by default. (like you aren't right now)
One of the things Black women have been trained to do to help the system maintain control over Black men is to make sure we remain engaged with you WHILE denying us the very things we wish to build.
"No brothers come lead us, we need you."
Then we come back and try to lead and you make sure to move the goal posts eternally so that you never have to see us as legitimate leaders.
"Well a real man would do xyz...", "Well the white man does xyz for his woman...", the list is unsatisfiable by design.
Again this is not personal this is structural, Black women aren't inherently evil, you are simply the systems containment tool.
The fear from the women is that you see us increasingly disengaging, you were not trained to know how to counter that. Plus it doesn't benefit you personally, and it feels bad, and you've been conditioned in a way so that it's nigh impossible for you to understand the real reasons why. So you frame it as cowardice, moral abdication, betrayal, etc.
Listen, when we realized what you were re-engineered to do, and who actually owns you. We realized that even entertaining y'all on those grounds without you being aligned with us, was doomed to failure.
So no, there will be no leadership, not without the Black woman's alignment first. That is the only way "WE" together "breakout" of the system.
So which way Black woman?
