Ari Lennox went on IG Live to express her pain and disappointment with how Black men speak about Black women. This was a recurring theme in 2019, and I pray this is not an issue in 2020. Ari Lennox, Teyana Taylor, etc should not constantly have to deal with disrespect because some boy wants some "like."
My 2 Cents:
We as Black women have got to teach Black men how to treat us, again. The public disrespect is getting out of hand. I can only imagine how bad it is in private for some of you ladies.
I remember in high school how the boys loved calling girls "bitch." No need to tell them your name, cause your name, was now "bitch." One day a girl asked me why don't the boys call me a bitch. My reply, "Because I don't answer." I could practically see the light bulb pop over her head lol. My point is that asshole Black men (not the cool brothas), will publicly disrespect you because they feel you won't demand to be treated any other way.
THOUGHTS?
Leave a like, thanks.
These men and their leaky dicks. Its like these men in the world of hip hop constantly need a hug
We won't get anyone to respect us until we respect ourselves and recognize our true worth... black women are against each other and won't stand up for each other so how can we unify and get black men to acknowledge us as Queens.
I’m so glad that she speaks up for herself. But she’s right, I’m so tired of hearing “men” disrespect women especially black women because they think it makes them look cool. It’s so childish and tiring seeing people still wanting to make themselves look dumb to appear like something they’re not to impress other people.
I have a zero tolerance policy for disrespect... of any kind. These so called "men" think that we as women are supposed to accept the disrespect because they feel less than, and turn they try to make us feel the same way.
