I absolutely believe this report. I have experience with several Black American men. They are businessmen, fathers, educated and Christian. They are loyal to their race but they are not slaves to the crippling democrat communism.
Same here. One in particular is a longtime friend, a conservative Republican, very pro-Life, and elected to public office three times.
I think black men might finally be waking up to the fact that they have more in common with conservatives than they do with white liberals. And even perhaps have more in common with white conservative men than with black liberal females, if you can wrap your head around that.
Democrats have a long sordid history of doing everything possible to destroy the souls, the manhood, the dignity of black men. And of course it's been against all blacks in general, but most particularly against black men.
In particular, four eras come to mind:
Black men bore the brunt of the vilification, I'd guess by a factor of 10-to-1 over what black females bore. Slovenly, thieving, mind-numbingly stupid, lying, scared of most animals and of their own shadows, voices pitched far higher than an average female voice, scared of anything remotely looking like a ghost - eg a wind-stirred sheet.
And in some ways worst of all - totally dominated by their wives & mothers, portrayed by large black female actresses who chased them around with frying pans or wooden spoons while they begged for mercy. Black male actors adept at making their eyeballs seemingly bulge out of their sockets were always in demand in Hollywood.
Just when the Voting Rights Act and similar laws seemed to be removing the last chains holding black men down, LBJ and his Democrat Congress forged new chains of the worst kind ... the kind that you convince people to put on themselves ---- the Great Society programs - Welfare, Food Stamps, Free Government-built (and then abandoned) Housing, free Medical Services, etc.
Federal workers walked up & down the streets of Black neighborhoods, which at the time were Working-Class neighborhoods .... but not for long. While the men were away at work supporting their families, their wives answered the doors and were told that women with children were eligible for a huge payout. And the more children, the more $$$.
But there was a catch: If they were supported by a husband or boyfriend, they were ineligible. This more than anything is what destroyed the nuclear black family. Their families had withstood a century of Jim Crow attacks and stayed together. But LBJ's Democrats finally split them up by attacking them from within, by driving a giant wedge between black men and women.
With her standard welfare payout, plus the "Aid to Dependent Children" times 3 or 4 kids, she could haul in far more than her minimum-wage husband. So, who needed a working man around the house to support you anyway, when his presence was a net economic hit to your finances? And guess whose name was on the check from Uncle Sam?
The Great Society's net effect of creating a Matriarchy, combined with a lifelong diet of the entertainment industry's portrayal of strong-willed black females vs spineless black males, combined to induce far too many black women to disrespect black men.
I never fully realized this until reading an article in the 90s (I think ... I've tried googling but no luck) about a black female columnist for a major paper or magazine, who was gobstruck by the overwhelming national outpouring she received to what she had thought was yet another typical, every-day column, that she happened to write one Valentine's Day.
In her column, she said she wanted to take the occasion on this holiday to say a big thank-you of appreciation to all the black men in her life - her father, grandfathers, uncles, husband (or BF), teachers & other mentors. She wanted to honor them for their examples, their love, and their contributions to making her the successful woman she was today.
Over many ensuing months, truckloads of flowers, letters, cards, chocolates and so on, passed through the receiving doors of the publication she worked at, coming from thousands of black males of all ages and marital status, all over America. The sheer spontaneity of this reaction in the pre-social-media era was something to behold.
I would've assumed that a column like that was a typical run-of-the-mill type of column that one would *expect* on a Valentine's Day. But reading of the national reaction to it really struck me with the awful truth that this simple message from a woman of their race was a message that they had NEVER FREAKING HEARD BEFORE! And that is so very sad.
For more on the Hollywood aspect of black male emasculation, see the middle section (13min:45sec to 35min:55sec) of this 1968 documentary --- Black History. Lost, Stolen, or Strayed? (I setup the link to start at 13:45)
Overall, the middle 22 minutes are a great history lesson in just how thoroughly Hollywood can destroy the reputations of any group of people they choose to target (whether blacks pre-60s, or Christians & Republicans post-60s), although I have a few problems with the film, such as the fact they hired Bill Cosby as narrator, and that kind of distracts from the message. Also, some hip mid-60s lingo such as substituting "some cat" for "some man".
Also, being creatures of Hollywood themselves, the writers want to *not* come down too hard on their industry, while at the same time showing how vicious Hollywood really had been. So they try to balance these conflicting goals by claiming in multiple places that this was really a case of "Hollywood just reflecting what society already believed," or "Hollywood giving people exactly what they are asking for," so the nasty messages are really not Hollywood's fault after all, but the fault of the moviegoing audience. (You sense they don't really believe this, and are just paying lip-service to Hollywood's old saw of "Just reflecting the culture! Just a mirror! That's all we are!")
But these shortcomings shouldn't hinder anyone from viewing these egregious examples of Hollywood's sordid past, because it illuminates Hollywood's sordid present, where nothing has changed except for the target of their hatred, fears, condescension, blood-libels and ridicule.
