These are often the loudest Black men. They've always got energy for denigrating the same Black women who are out in the streets marching for their liberation (while wearing their gd bonnets too)!

These same guys don't do sht for the Black community or even their own local comunities. They havent sent anyone to college, started a fund, an organization, or so much as written a book of advice for young Black men to be better people, but they stay ready to police what Black women are doing and feeling.

He was a coward who took joy in punching down at the one group of people he thought no one cared about and that he thought was beneath him: Black women!

It takes emotional courage to speak truth to someone you consider an equal or an authority because that might cost you something. Its easier and quicker to push down on people you think are not on your level, and it costs you nothing at all, most of the time, not even a sleepless night.
