When Patriarchy Trumps Race
The New York Times ^ | Oct. 16, 2024, 7:00 p.m. ET | Charles M. Blow

For over a year, as I’ve talked to Black men and voting organizers, I’ve picked up on discontent with the Democratic Party from some Black men, but I wasn’t sure what to make of it or how widely that sentiment stretched.

Apart from my reporting, polling suggests an erosion of Democratic support among Black men, though I remained somewhat skeptical.

But when a campaign unfurls a closing-stretch strategy to reach and retain a particular group of voters, as the Harris campaign clearly has done with Black men, it means that something — whether in public polls or in its internal polls — has raised a very real concern.

Even a worst-case scenario — something like the 70 percent of Black men that the most recent New York Times/Siena College national poll found in favor of Kamala Harris — would still mean that Black men strongly support Democrats, and the Democratic nominee, more than men in any other racial demographic group. But that slippage of support from recent past election cycles is worrisome; in a tight race it can make a difference.

Barack Obama has come out to give a stern message to Black men. Harris has put forth an “Opportunity Agenda for Black Men” and done a series of interviews with Black male media figures. Time and energy in the last days of a campaign are precious; she wouldn’t be directing all this effort toward the Black male electorate if her team wasn’t worried.

Obama attributed part of the potential drop in support for Harris, compared with support for him during his presidential races, to the idea that some Black men “just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president.” This kind of misogyny — or misogynoir, the particular form of misogyny faced by Black women — is...

Overtly racist article. The theme seems to be that black men need to vote based on race.

Would ask what the heck is wrong at the NYT that they would publish this kind of race-baiting garbage, but think I already know the answer.

Of course this is exactly the racist garbage one expects from Blow(Job).

I don’t think it’ll work, anyway. Blacks, especially black men, who have opened their eyes to the truth and summoned the courage to break free from the Democrat plantation will NOT be scolded back into line by a phony Jamaican-Indian and a phony half-white “light-worker”.

What a disgusting and demeaning headline.
Black men aren’t capable of thinking independently is what the headline says.
Plus they all have to think the same way.

“ If that isn’t bigoted, I don’t know what is.”

It’s incredibly bigoted and condescending .
If black folks see the truth of freedom, and hope in conservatism, game over for the Dems.
This terrifies Dems.
Disgusting they want to keep people in despair and dependency .
Wicked.

Gotta love it-a bunch of privileged white NYT dudes telling not black-enough black men they’re sexist. Woke me up before you go-go.

We live in a matriarchy. No patriarchy would have such onerous divorce-rape laws.
