When it comes to Women/Girls....espeically White Women/Girls, the bucket of money is bottomless....but when it comes to Men/Boys....specifically Black Men/Boys all of a sudden it's "well how are we going to pay for it ?"
As I have said once before: No one cared about any male related issues until things started affecting white men. Also, I noticed how much that panel was attempting to pander to the female moderator. All in all, it seems like an effort to coddle women, because they were holding back on A LOT of stuff.
I hope that some day soon, we stop holding the belief that we absolutely MUST hold use to women. We have our own ambitions and purposes, we hold our own intrinsic value. We are not supposed to produce endlessly while asking absolutely nothing in return. Giving more than one gets is injurious to the generous party. We owe ourselves far more than we have ever given.
Men/boys are specifically discouraged from leadership in school i can pull 2 examples in my own life. 1. I was in kindergarten, and i was playing house. I was the "baby" the first day and eevery one bossed me around. They next day i said i wanted to be "daddy" and one of the girls who played the day before said, "we're still going to tell you what to do." I quit playing. 2. I was in 6th grade and we were working on a group project and i was the group leader. One girl specifically did not participate, so i told the teacher. The teacher told me that the girl could do what she wants. I asked the teacher, what was the point of a group leader if she can do what she wants. The teacher said, my point as a leader is to behave correctly and inspire others to participate with you because they see your results being appreciated. Which was a way to say "lead by example," but this was a group project, and different people had different roles, so the teacher's advice was nonsensical. The teacher knew it was. Her intention was to paralyze me with confusion. It didn't work.
Heard a feminist on a podcast say that if some innocent men are harmed by false allegations it doesn't matter because it is worth it and it doesn't matter since it is payback for non specific harm from patriarchy
It's easy to view the lives of people who aren't in your in-group as mere abstractions that are acceptable loses. Nothing is real to these types of people until it happens to them.
Excellent analysis Dr. Johnson. The problem is the issues of men/boys are never addressed in real time, I suggest. Lastly, this whole discussion reminded me of some of the academic explanations I had in graduate school. Ivory tower but nothing pratical.
My favorite "Ick" story I've heard so far is the guy who took a woman he was trying to get to know to a Chris Brown concert. He said he got "regular" tickets but she wanted the floor tickets, front, and center. So he says he really liked her so he took it a step further and got the VIP section with the backstage pass and the full "fan experience". Well he said during the performance he was cheering, dancing, and singing along soaking up the experience and the incredible performance. On the drive home he is going on about how amazing the show was and how Chris Brown is the best performer of this generation. After he dropped her off she texted him and said she didn't think there would be anything between him because he enjoyed Chris Brown more than she did.
Wow... these panelists are clearly not advocating for men... they are low-key support women... I'm tired of disingenuous conversations masked as support for men...
@@TheEnigmaticBM39 Because White Liberals don't nor have ever generally cared about Black Men/Boys outside of using us to get elected, and using us to push policy that doesn't in practice actually help us.
@@TheEnigmaticBM39 I have to disagree because all of the traction that we've seen in recent years has been happening on the conservative side. Nor the liberal side.
Good work doc. excellent breakdown. to be honest though...you are spot on with what you're saying and i'm greatful for that but...the reality is its clear who has the 'power' in this situation. cuz it ain't us. Whether its feminists, white men, black gynocracy or whoever has the mic...we black men don't have any real power that matters which is unfortunate. I don't think we ever did unfortunately. We are actually 'FORTUNATE' that atleast with Free Internet we can speak freely in ways we couldn't before...and your platform and other platforms are proof that this is crucial but at the end of the day we don't have power to curb or stop this bashing of BM and Black Boys. all we can do is react and analyze....i'm just thankful that you are able to initiate productive dialogue and spread awareness cuz these deep issues are so complex and multi-layered that it can really scramble the normal person's brain beyond words. good analysis doc.
OH MY GOD!!!! I just lost all respect for Richard Reeves. I can't help but think of the scene from "Revenge of the Sith" where Obi-Wan cuts down Anakin. "You were supposed to destroy the Sith, not join them". Because like Anakin, Richard Reeves has sold out and turned to the dark side (figuratively speaking).
On the topic of Male Loneliness the responses that I've seen from women online have been mainly derogatory. Its sad that the only time women will address this problem with a degree empathy is when they're on a msm panel.
I think I said this under a Doc T video before, but when I was little (9 or 10), the women in my family would go on their rants about Black men occasionally, and when they did they would tell me to say, “Niggas ain’t shit” before being let to sit down and eat. This continued until i was about 12, when i refused to say it one day. I told them if that’s true, that would mean I wouldn’t be either when I growed up. They made me take my food in another room to eat, where they closed the door so I couldn’t hear their conversation. They stopped having their “niggas ain’t shit” discussions in front of me after that.
Greetings. I see the barber shop as a time when men cared for the heads of men (young and old) and it had cultural extension...now, merely through the dominant hair styles of the young men today , men's heads(almost exclusively the young) are being taken care of by either themselves or a woman. No judgement. Strangely enough though, now the "barber shop" is catching heat exactly like men that use them...from both sides apparently.
The thing is many boys are ignored if they don't have any athletic talents. And black boys are clowned for getting advanced education. BM are called "educated lames, " BW aren't called that. They're always encouraging bw to further their education. You've never heard of Oprah, Condoleeza Rice, Maya Angelou or any of the black women mathematicians from the film "Hidden Figures" being educated lames.
Hey gents, married 35 yr old straight white man here. Appreciate the channel and thanks for the brining light to these issues. I'll be following the content.
@2:27:50 The lighter skinned gentleman begins claiming all that he doesn't know much about his estranged father or grandfather, and knows that that is negatively shaping his views on fatherhood. I.e. he hasn't filled in the blanks concerning not knowing about his father. How then can he help men be good fathers without first dealing with his issues?
White dude's "partner" wanted a wife and that was him. As we "redefine relationships" let us make sure we define every aspect i.e.: love, partner, relationship, etc...❤✌🏾✊🏾
You notice, people have no problem developing a regimented and policed process for the maturation and realization of manhood but refuses to do the same for womanhood. The men have to confirm to a standard but the women can do whatever they like. That is socially unsustainable.
Just watched this broadcast, Thank you Dr Johnson, this should cause all of us men to really self examine, ( it definitely has caused to do so) when it deals with how we confront this problem. What I saw in thaat panel discussion is as what you said , the root reasons of why things are happening and why men are responding they way the do has not been discussed. I see what you mean, in the apologetic nature in even presenting the truth. I find myself constantly now having to reprogram when I speak truth with friends and family about the benign and severe neglect of boys and men, in comparison to female population. This analysis of that panel is very revealing on how the problem of neglected men from society is tiptoed and danced around for fear of being hated and worse facing life changing consequences, hence the young skilled bro on the balloon pop show! Thank Dr Johnson for the work you do!
It's life on hard mode bro. The good news is, just like a video game or a sport, - even the one who loses on hard mode is better than the one who wins on easy mode. It's just a matter of if you see them go head to head.
Excellent content, Dr. T. I was a little confused about the topic though… why is it hard for melanated Brothers to come together and pull their resources together and overcome these obstacles
