Early this morning, Tuesday, October 20,2020, Jemele Hill decided to "set it off" with a controversial tweet that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to logical thinkers. Just look at this mess.
This tweet was followed up by more of these "blue check" Black feminists and also non-Black people who so comfortably speak on our issues as if they have the experience and approval to do so. Look at it.I have increasingly found that many black men just want better access to patriarchy. They don’t actually want it dismantled.

Life experience - closest friends, living in majority blck neighborhoods, serve majority blck population (psychologist). Studying - took courses re: blk history/culture/experience, read as much as I can by blck authors about blck ppl. Can never fully understand but I try. 🤷♀️

Of course, our Black warriors on the frontlines are not having it. They're firing back with verbal missiles as they should. We have to combat these ridiculous narratives that these people are clearly compensated in some form to bring forth. We say this because there is no gain for the Black community when the family feuds.Black men already have access to patriarchy. We live in a patriarchal society.

What Black men want is the ability to weaponize their patriarchal privilege without any consequences the way White men can: With impunity AND immunity. https://t.co/P9rL0HjaFM
I don't think y'all realize the deep levels of hatred and resentment a lot of black people who are prominent in broadcasting, academia and social justice spaces have for Black males. It's a small group, but a powerful group, and this election is pulling their camouflage off.

Jemele got a black man fired because she couldn’t stop tweeting about Trump. Michael Smith caught a stray because she couldn’t keep her mouth closed. What portion of patriarchy is that?

This is an ongoing theme and battle on the social media app so there's no way we're going to give you the real-time tweets. But you can witness this for yourself and even join in the discussion if you have a Twitter account.Only reason they compare us to White men so much is because they wish they were White women pic.twitter.com/oPODS1im0M

You don't have to engage but it is smart to be aware of the discourse that is driving the narratives that impact your Black life.
