“Black men face gendered oppression” Black men never cared about “gender” beyond preserving tacit & explicit conceptual androcentrism (the centering of men) in black thought. Here’s Hortense Spillers describing how black men in the academy (like Henry Louis “Skip” Gates) used their institutional power to marginalize the study of... black GENDER & feminism in early Black Studies. The NEW explicit focus on “gender” among black men is based on anti-black-feminist grievance, envy, post-Crenshaw false analogies, and no HONESTY about why black men were so LATE to the gender discourse beyond fortifying black manhood/masculinity. Tell the whole storyshow more

If black men want people to stop responding curiously to the claim that they faced gendered depression, then maybe they should have been writing much sooner about “gender“ instead of sabotaging black feminists, marginalizing the study of gender in black thought, and then showing up years later to bite off of frameworks with no credit

So now its black men DO face gendered oppression, but it doesn't matter because...feelings. Cool. Only one not telling the whole story is your ilk. "Black men never cared about gender" isn't even a falsifiable claim.

stupid fuck, no “feelings” being used to say “it doesn’t matter.” You pulled that out your ass. I’ll prove it. Isolate the terms, phrases, sentences, implications I or Spillers used that proves “feelings” are being used to say black men’s oppression “doesn’t matter..”go ahead.

Someone has to have some sense ya know. Can’t let them obfuscate
