Her Name is Cynthia G, and she has been recently demonetized for this video (https://www.youtube.com/live/D-PLdgD6uKk?si=SiohgcBvgbsq-XQz) where she asks "what does the black community need black men for?" where she invites a white man on and he says some outlandish shit. But this isnt the first time she has said or done some out of line shit before.
She has also advocated, in response to some anti black shit one of the manosphere grifters said about black women and single mothers being bad for black male children, (a position i disagree with), to say that black women should abort black male fetuses. Seriously she said this in this clip (https://www.tiktok.com/@bighomiedre74/video/7200295560425983278?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7276980367658305067)
But here is to address a broader point i want to make in a social sense, why does no one talk about the divest black women space on the internet? Like seriously, these women will say some shit like this "Black men are the most conquered race of males on this planet", "Black men are the least masculine men on the planet" and other bullshit points that are objectively anti black
But for people in this space, this is probably the first time you have heard of her, and this space so let me describe it to you.
They exist in a space were women (often black, as many of the proponents of this ideology, are black women who use certain talking points we have heard before) who call themselves, "decentering" men, but often spew some of the most anti black and anti male talking points i have ever heard in my life. the points before are just the tip of the iceberg.\
Typically, you see these women advocating for black women to date outside of their race, (not the thing i am worried about, i can care less about interracial dating) by saying that black men are "the biggest danger to black women", and making some of the worst generalizations of black men imaginable
One time there was a group of these people cheering about black men being killed by the cops, calling them the "epitome of being masculine", yes i am being serious (here is a clip as well (https://www.tiktok.com/@landonis_balthazar/video/7261650091604233514?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7276980367658305067)) but there is little to no push back to this
Why? well it comes from, IMO, the same thing that misandrists use to defend their misandry, but in a racialized context, ("you are more mad about a woman's words more that violent men killing women") as they usually say that they are "Divesting" and are "pointing out hard truths about black male pathology" but it also comes from progressive spaces specially from so called feminists and people who call themselves pro black (Like this one, in response to a comment coming from a video where he bashed black men and essentially said that the bulk of the problems in the black community come from black men a point he reiterates here https://www.tiktok.com/@drcasanovabrown/video/7052836167561121070?q=dr.%20casanovabrown%20halo&t=1697850531528
and here is the original video in question https://www.tiktok.com/@drcasanovabrown/video/7052778145325370671?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7276980367658305067)
who like in broad mainstream feminist spaces when mens issues are concerned, hang the entirety of the blame of men, in progressive black spaces it is doubly so, even though they should see why that is bullshit especially for black men, as the system fucks us, where we are also held responsible for every thing bad, and women are good
But especially in these black spaces, you tend to see some of these people say things, like the videos above that are damn near what a KKK member would say about black men, ( like this woman who said that black men are bullet bags, who is a large progressive feminist said this https://twitter.com/DarkKageXL/status/1641118637187645452)
(or this https://www.tiktok.com/@thatbrownguurl/video/7287242391986113835?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7276980367658305067)
(OR THIS, which reeks of Andrea Dworkin saying that all sex with men is rape, https://www.tiktok.com/@thatbrownguurl/video/7278451161836064046?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7276980367658305067)
but it is permitted under the same grounds that feminists at large say about misandry (misogyny kills women, misandry only hurts mens feelings) and this gives way to people like Cynthia G, who had 130k subs before her demonetization, and this space at large not being criticized, like the manosphere, which is seen as a pipeline to the alt right, why is such a hateful space not on more people radar?
The Answer, is because unlike in the case of the Manosphere, feminists hateful responses of men are seen as punching up, while anyone who criticizes them for the hateful shit they say, they are considered punching down and sexists, or accused of trying to "derail the conversation", by sayng that they are wrong.
It is some what the same online in black progressive spaces, cause if you disagree with the mainstream narrative about black men, you are deemed as anti black and a whole lot of terms, i wont mention, such as "black men arent the enemy, and they system at large are discriminatory towards black men as well", and they will say "that is also true, but since black men are men, they also perpetuate patriarchy on women, especially black women as well. They are still men and thus have male privilege" if you respond, "i dont think black men have male privilege" you will be lit up online by these people for simple disagreement
But these people make this kind of content, and get virtually no backlash, as a matter of fact they defend these people with logic like this, "well if you want her, to stop talking about black men like this, then address black men who hurt black women, then she will stop" As a matter of fact that was this guys entire argument (https://www.tiktok.com/@fatalprose/video/7199630176269897003?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7276980367658305067)
So Long story short, i believe that black progressive spaces outside of systemic racism, treat black men like shit and often time can feed into why spaces like divest black women exist.
sorry this was kind of a rant
