Obama finally working on a program specifically to help young minority(black) boys --- People ignoring all the exclusive women and girls programs cry afoul.

These freaking feminists are such hypocrites. Look at the amount of resources we dedicate to females. Oh but one program for any group of boys is cried about.

Freaking privileged morons. BTW it would be nice if Obama (our feminist president) gave a shit about ALL boys/mens issues and not just minorities. For example, 80% of male suicides are white male, so it'd be nice if male mental health had more resourced (or resources) dedicated to it.

"My mom, Legertha Butler-Walton, is Obama's biggest fan. But she says she didn't march with Martin Luther King Jr. to get the "whites only" signs taken down, only to have the nation's first black president put up a sign that says "men only.""

Fuck your mother, Paul.

You don't seem to have any problem with the "no crackers" sign either. Fucking hypocrites.

Any time anyone suggests we have a government program to help men, everyone seems to forget all the countless aid programs setup for women and girls.

Aren't African American females something like 80% more likely to attend college compared to African American males? I would have to go look up the statistics.

ThePigmanAgain · 2014-06-18T23:59:35+00:00

Another male-hating CNN asshole. If you can have a whole council for women and girls you can sure as fuck have one measly program for black boys. Fuck this white knight and his equally white horse.

Steampunk_Moustache · 2014-06-19T03:08:56+00:00

Because we all know how privleged black males are, right?

Fuck feminists.

Vandredd · 2014-06-19T00:56:35+00:00

This author has a hell of a set of balls on him. One program for men of color was too much for him to stomach. President Obama has done jack shit for black men because he was afraid he would be called a racist. So he does nothing and the people that wanted to call him racist called him a racist anyway.

hotsizzlepancakes · 2014-06-19T04:21:54+00:00

Changing the culture amongst young black males could be the single greatest thing this president does and as a white young male i support any program that helps turn the tide of the culture of violence.

I'm a male but not a white male and it pisses me off that anyone is discriminated against. I've faced my share of discrimination but would never consider for a second that I've had it harder than any white male out there just because of my skin color. The biggest divide of our time is class discrimination rather than any racial bias.

Ultramegasaurus · 2014-06-19T07:06:27+00:00

Does anyone remember that idiotic, feminist ice cream analogy? Feminists are literally behaving like the "entitled man" in said video: women are bombarded with special treatment and attention but if boys, black boys only even, get a tiny fraction of said special treatment and attention too, they throw a fit.

Black man tearing down initiative to help black boys.

This is what a feminist looks like.

TheRealMouseRat · 2014-06-19T07:25:28+00:00

I agree with this article that girls should also be allowed into this program. They should just remove all the gender (and race) specific programs like this and just have a program to specifically help everyone. (which would get all the funding from all the removed programs)

This protest is good for us. Feminists have been trying to claim ownership over minority men's issues for decades. The more they howl when people actually try to help minority men the more they'll realize feminism doesn't give a shit about them.

theDarkAngle · 2014-06-19T05:10:52+00:00

While I'm pleased that Obama (or anyone in Washington for that matter) is finally giving some attention to men and boys, I am still slightly irked about the racial bit of it.

While I recognize that minority males currently have the most problems, I think all men and boys share in those problems only to varying degrees. Particularly if this program is mostly about education and economic opportunities (which my brief googling seems to confirm), I think all men could use this same kind of attention. All boys are falling behind in school, and male-dominated job sectors are drying up the fastest.

I mean, ideally, I would prefer the government focus its spending and effort on things that benefits everyone more-or-less equally... like a robust public transportation system, universal healthcare, a tuition-free public university system, nationwide fiber-optic internet system on par with Google Fiber, a large expansion of the space program, or (gasp) even a Basic Guaranteed Income. They can leave the means-testing and "community uplift" projects to municipal governments and private charities and non-profits.

In the end, the best candidates for government projects are those in which a "one-size-fits-all" approach isn't too detrimental, because anything else becomes incredibly diluted and complex and, frankly, stupid.

What is so horrible about giving a shit about the well being of a man? Is he too not human?

avantvernacular · 2014-06-19T13:30:11+00:00

How do we know this author is a feminist?

Unenjoyed · 2014-06-19T14:43:58+00:00

Why did President Obama leave out the girls?

I don't know, CNN. Why do you hate boys?

johnmarkley · 2014-06-20T02:40:30+00:00

African-American males are clearly a privileged class. Did you know that 100% of current US presidents are black men? /s

AlongAustower · 2014-06-19T07:27:10+00:00

feminists just hate black people, obviously. They only have a problem with this because Obama is black and he wants to help the black people who are the most disadvantaged. Feminists claim to support human rights but it is just a thin veneer that attempts to hide their hatred of black people. I plan to hold an anti racist rally at the next feminist conference.
