You're largely right about black women.

For more of a clue about feminists though, check the following vid:

Only have a few comments 1. can't wait until feminist/feminism is destroyed !!! 2. Men rule and women serve!!!

[Nouuuuranlovesadam]

Finally, a video about this topic that makes sense.

[weldorjay]

awesome vid bro, keep up the good work!

[1Scattered]

What could be more pseudo science than patriarchy theory.

[334286]

Many Youtube commentators are obsessed with using scientific facts and evidence to prove themselves right. However you can prove ANYTHING you want to by using facts. Facts are the main weapon against truth and goodness.

[CanadiaNecro1]

@334286 Facts are the main weapon against truth and goodness? I suppose logic and reasoning are too?

[334286]

@CanadiaNecro1 yes, that's right, how did you know? you can use logic and reasoning to do it too. Politicians do it all the time. You can use it either way, Words used cleverly can do anything. I'm not so clever,though, I think you'll agree on that.

[selinakyle]

Women and minority groups have to see through the divide and conquer tactics of white male supremacy. We are not each other's enemy, if we united we would be the majority of this world's population.

[tiemedown]

Lol especially since women tend to statistically out number men ( except in China at the moment...boy are they in trouble). But your right, too often groups fracture, when in reality the entire conglamorite of 'the white male' is actually composed of Euro-Americans who used to fight over the same issues that divide groups today.

[sting444]

If you read any feminist work, you will learn that feminists (at least those after 1980), consider marriage to be a vehicle of female enslavement. They campaigned actively to denounce marriage and destroy the nuclear family. When was the last time a government message was posted that declared the nuclear family of both biological, resident parents to be ideal? How are they doing?

[garybooker]

The newer feminist work definitely is jaded, vitriolic and anti-pragmatic fringe philosophy. I certainly don't endorse it. But that isn't to say that there isn't better work out there, and that even the "fringe nuts" of feminism don't bring up valid points.

[sting444]

What's better work? I'd put Christina Hoff Summers in the category of balanced feminist work, but most feminists do not consider her to be a feminist as she critiques feminists in writing.

[garybooker]

Bell Hooks is another person that I would say is very balanced in her approach to feminist writing.

[sting444]

@garybooker Mr. Booker, if I were to purchase one Bell Hooks book, which would you recommend?

I just finished my third Hoff Summers book (War on Boys, Leveling the Playing Field and finally Who Stole Feminism) and am on to a more recent Warren Farrell book - _Does Feminism Discriminate Against Men_

[maradashewolf]

Eeeeek!!! You have a rabbit! I have two house bunnies myself...that's it, friending you; hope you accept my friendship, garybooker!

Wishing you well

[rosskay]

this video is great

[paperchase417]

LoL Feminists are Freedom Fighters Masculinists are Crybabies. That kind of bullshit double standard proves that Masculinists have just cause to exist and be upset. Grow a pair.

[garybooker]

How about you grow a brain and learn to read some of the previous responses before you open your toilet (mouth)? I've already stated that I am not a feminist in previous comments.

I am neither a masculinist, nor a feminist. I am just an advocate of gender equality and common sense.

[9wolfy9]

The idea of regarding gender as a political movement is absolutely absurd in the the first place.Why would anyone rationally believe that a select group of female intellectuals claim to speak on behalf of womanhood throughout the world?Why would anyone presume that members of their own sex naturally have a closer affinity to each other?Human beings generally don't display solidarity with each other based on such superficial constructs.

[Nouuuuranlovesadam]

@paperchase417 That doesnt make sense. Feminists started this IN RESPONSE opression, and now you big crybaby are mad that they are protesting. How is that proof that you should be upset?

[1WhoSeeks]

@paperchase417 Funny. That`s what a most terrorists call themselves. Freedom fighters.

[KhagarBalugrak]

@paperchase417, so what you're saying is that it's ok to tell a man to have a stiff upper lip when they're falsely accused of rape, imprisoned, and repeatedly raped...but women aren't crybabies for demanding child support, preferential treatment by the courts, sole reproductive rights, affirmative action, treatment centers for woman only, scholarships, etc. etc. Ok pal. You keep telling yourself this isn't the type of hypocrisy you've just accused men of.

[YoungnRomantic]

@KhagarBalugrak Sounds like a crybaby to me

[YoungnRomantic]

@paperchase417 Feminists are sexist people who justify their sexism and bigotry by trying to make up for lost time by hating on men.

[haleyymarie]

good video

I just wish I could have heard it better. =[

[mrtlc666]

OUTSTANDING INFO BROTHER

[tokarsk2]

Woman-logic? Ha ha ha ha ha. Oh god, this is hilarious.

First off, that wasn't an instance of some unique logic. It was an analogy. Do you know what exactly logic is?

Secondly, you have no clue who either of those women are, do you?

Thirdly, I'm checking right now...and I do in fact have a penis and am lacking in boobs. Huh, guess I'm a guy.

[garybooker]

This guy is obviously a complete wackjob.

[garybooker]

Oh, ok. I just looked at your profile. I'm going to block you just like I block the rest of the trolls. :)

[garybooker]

"Woman-logic?"  Are you serious?!?!?!

[tokarsk2]

You're right, you don't need to accept my paradigm of multiple feminisms. You also don't need to accept that there is a difference between a convertible and a SUV. You're an idiot either way.

Are you really trying to tell me there is no difference between someone like Miranda Fricker and bitingbeaver?

[tokarsk2]

Actually no they aren't douchefag. That might be why they require the adjective "radical" to distinguish them.

[whoo689]

People have to take responsibility for themselves and stop boxing each other and others into all these narrow groups. Just b/c someone's a woman doesn't mean they're automatically oppressed or have vastly less opportunities than men or that they'll have a WAY HARDER time at advancing in society. Things like that depend more on class and where you were born. Race and gender are more meaningless than in the past.

[whoo689]

Feminism and radical feminism are not the same. The feminists who gave women suffrage and started the 60s and 70s women's movements and sexual revolutions were OK, for the most part. But the post-70s radical feminists and feminazis are really a bunch of whiny bitches. They make nonsense up about women and men not getting equal pay because of "discrimination." They whine about things that can't be stopped like rape and domestic violence and hope for some kind of utopia.

[whoo689]

They define themselves by the right to terminate a pregnancy, as if that's the ABSOLUTE BEST THING a woman can do in the name of "equality." I mean, I'm prochoice, but putting the choice on such a pedestal is just absurd. There are more important ways that women gained equality and progress than simply being able to terminate a pregnancy. Like school and work opportunities.

These radical feminists ignore all the advances women have made over the last 50 or so years and whine and whine.

[whoo689]

I'd say women are doing PRETTY WELL today, esp. compared to 50 or 100 years ago. If they REALLY wanna know what oppression is like or "patriarchy", they should go to Saudi Arabia or Iran or dozens of other countries where women have hardly any rights. Some women just don't know how good they have it in today's America. It's chilling. You can't honestly compare today's America to the America of the 50s, esp. in terms of equality. When will the Left stop encouraging "victims"?

[garybooker]

I agree that things have become better over the years for all groups of people that have been historically disenfranchised. However, this does not mean that the disenfranchisement has completely stopped and that society should stop trying to get better. Should police stop locking criminals up simply because there is less crime here than there is in other parts of the world? I don't think so.

[YoungnRomantic]

@whoo689 I agree. U speak the truth

[garybooker]

"radical feminists" are few and far in between. The majority of womens rights activists are moderate and only want gender equality.

[ObserveReality]

Women have been privileged over men for decades, and continue to take more privilege. All the while acting oppressed. how absurd, the notion that women are the oppressed ones. Feminists are all radicals, they are bigots, and blame others for their own failures. Grown women who attack young boys psyche to make them easy to dominate as adults. Feminists all belong in prison for conspiracy to restrict civil rights. Feminism is a hate group. They earned their negative image.

[YoungnRomantic]

@ObserveReality I agree. TELL THE TRUTH !!!!

[sting444]

There are few radical feminists, but they are able to channel lots of government money by pretending to represent all women. Would you please list some examples of moderate women's rights activists?

[YoungnRomantic]

@sting444 In my opinion the whole feminist movement has no reason to exist and is 100 % radical

[YoungnRomantic]

@garybooker That's a lie. If they did they would support father's rights and disband the NOW aka NWO

[the5y5tem]

I'm a proud anti-feminist myself, I oppose a movement that uses victimology and guiltism in order to enforce its anti-male agenda.

Those who support feminism are either:

1) ignorant

2) controlled by their wives

3) anti-male

4) lacked any good father role model as a child.

We have feminism to thank for the large amount of social ills we have today. Have a nice day feminnihilists.

[garybooker]

Anything else? You were on a role with your finger pointing diatribe there... are you sure you don't want to blame feminists for anything else? Perhaps the death of the dinosaurs?

[the5y5tem]

Actually, I haven't got started, but I'm not wasting my time arguing with someone who's already blind.

[garybooker]

Yep. Sure.

[blueprairiedog]

Well done. Thank you for speaking truth in the face of lies perpetrated by fear and misinformation.

[CzarChoiThe2nd]

Absence of ex-wife's income happens to men much more.

[purpleamythstone]

Garybooker your kinda cute! Are you married?

[garybooker]

LOL thanks. :) I'm not married. Perhaps someday.

[RyeItGrrl]

Well at least call yourself a humanist. As a black woman I can't stand anyone trying to elevate their standing in society by bringing another group down, particularly if it is black men blaming women or gays.

[garybooker]

Absolutely.  :)

[YoungnRomantic]

@RyeItGrrl The feminist and gay communities are one in the same and hve the same political agenda

[KhagarBalugrak]

@YoungnRomantic, the gay communities - with the exception of radical feminist lesbians - don't demonize the opposite sex. They don't demand preferential treatment or affirmative action. They don't excuse their actions when they do bad things due to a history of oppression. Feminists, on the other hand, demand all kinds of preferential treatment and believe themselves to be above the laws of human decency and compassion. Don't demonize gay people, just fight feminism.

[YoungnRomantic]

@KhagarBalugrak That's not tru. Women in todays modern society make a mockery and a sport out of demonizing en regardless if they are lesbians or not. Feminists do support the gay community in record numbers to cover up their insecurities and to support the feminist agenda to destroy men and what better way to do that then promoting men to be gay and worshipping the lifestyle that beneifits women ? These twomovements are interconnected.

[billthemisogynist]

@YoungnRomantic Women should be "Keepers at home"Titus 2:5 I say destroy women's rights!!!

[RyeItGrrl]

Yay! An intelligent, educated, BLACK MAN, who is a FEMINIST! Everyone who is considering those anti-feminist lies should see this video.

But you misspelled "recently" or "recent" I can't remember which.

[garybooker]

Thanks. :)

I wouldn't call myself a feminist, but rather an anti-sexist. I think it is highly unmanly for people to sit back and blame women for all of the problems of this society.

[Abashi76]

I agree with the last few seconds, great video! :D

[garybooker]

"Because they quickly realise that that is how they get sexual validation from their white female peers."

This is exactly what I am talking about... so how do you explain violence among homosexual gang members?

"White female peers?" Are you kidding me?

[geekaleek]

you're clearly one of those dudes that just likes to argue.

[SimonDB2006]

Here's another point about Marcus Garvey that you may not have considered... in His day the Black Feminist/Womenist movement may have been different in-that they respected there Black Men, in today's society the BW has almost no respect for BM. Now, one could argue the chicken and the egg factor but really... is it? This is were I think SWP is making a valid point..Yes?

[garybooker]

WOW... I so wasn't expecting a conversation about Barack Obama to get started, LOL!

[MatlasX]

I'm still wondering where or how Gary Booker could have disproven or shot down anything that SWP said in his video about black feminism.

What statements made by SWP did he disprove or shoot dow?

[garybooker]

Actually, this video wasn't directed at SWP in particular. I made it before I saw the video in response to another youtuber, who deleted the video for unknown reasons. Since SWP had already taken the time to open up the conversation of Black women and feminism, I decided to chime in with this video.

[marcdaddy33]

THAT MAKES SENSE.

I was wondering who this Matthew person was that you referenced.

[transendingtime]

Thanks for laying down the facts! Excellent vid., and I agree, this pseudoscience crap is really keeping us from reaching our full potential as a whole.

[SrgtWilliepete]

ohhhhhhhh shit marcdaddy's dropping maddddd science!

[garybooker]

Indeed he is. Notice how he uses sources to back what he says, and how he looks at both sides of an argument. You should try it yourself sometime. :)

[Haitian1130]

Don't hold your breath....lol

[TellMeWhy129]

well done gary, i enjoyed your video !!!

[marcdaddy33]

Well Brother Gary,

Since we are in the Myth-Busting game, let us bust one more myth. This myth is one of the more notable myths about black men that nearly everyone in this society believes to be true... including black MEN and women (owing to a strong level of DISTRUST of the black man by black women). Without further adieu:

MYTH: Black men are absentee fathers.

[marcdaddy33]

FACT: After Barack Obama's Father's Day Speech scolding black men, a Newsweek article, looked at fatherlessness in the black community in an article called "O Father, Where Art Thou?".a study is quoted to challenge this notion wherein a quoted passage in the article states that "[t]he Coley study... found that black fathers who don't reside in the home are more likely to sustain regular contact with their children than fathers of any other racial group."

[marcdaddy33]

The study report quoted is called "Reciprocal Longitudinal Relations Between Non-Residential Involvement and Adolescent Delinquency"

the Study was conducted by a Rebekah Levine Coley, professor at Boston College and a BLACK WOMAN.

[marcdaddy33]

We ALL know that a large number of black households are headed by black women, but to directly quote from the study: "Yet among unmarried fathers, African American men are MOST LIKELY to sustain contact with their kids when they do not coreside."

page 3

(caps mine)

[marcdaddy33]

FINAL QUOTE:

"Furthermore, research suggests that nonresident African American and Latino fathers may be MORE involved than their WHITE counterparts in areas of parental involvement such as decision making and discussions with their adolescents".

page 2

(caps mine)

I haven't finished reading the whole study, but suffice it to say the MYTH about the lack of involvement of black men in their children's lives has ben BUSTED.

[marcdaddy33]

This is not to say that there isn't a problem when a lot ob brothas skip out on their responsibilities... but the problem is black folks aren't getting married and as important as a father's involvement in a child's life is, marriage or no, it is ESPECIALLY so if that involvement is happening within a marital setting.

I'll finish reading the study later to see the reasons for why WHEN the father DOES skip out what are the causes for it.

PEACE.

[garybooker]

Definitley. I take no stake in feminism. My only point is that we should approach the issue of examining the state our movements with balance and accuracy. In order to truly improve the state of our community, we must:

A) Refrain from presenting a gender-lopsided argument, and remain factual and balanced about gender relations within our community, and...

B) Recognize the good that sisters are doing, and recognize the good that brothers are doing, so that we can improve upon our strengths.

[Haitian1130]

"A) Refrain from presenting a gender-lopsided argument, and remain factual and balanced about gender relations within our community, and...

B) Recognize the good that sisters are doing, and recognize the good that brothers are doing, so that we can improve upon our strengths."

BEAUTIFUL. Unfortunately, the vast majority of them on YT particularly SWP and his crew are not capable of comprehending "a" or recognizing "b."

[SimonDB2006]

I disagree, I find that SWP is in most cases on point. However I do agree that there are sisstas out here that give black women a good name and are symbols of what Black Women should strive to be... (A Fan of SWP)

[Haitian1130]

Men generally make the decisions to be married. If a man is not ready to become a father or a husband to the woman he's having unprotected sex with, then he should strap up. I can't stand when men place 80% of the responsibility/accountability on the women when it takes two to tango.

The classic: "she tried to or trapped me into being a father or being with her."

[Haitian1130]

Based on the "fact" you presented on absentee bf, the "myth" that bw [the single parents] are not properly raising their children [particulary boys] to become productive and respectable adults is debunked by your own "findings." So, these bw have been lying about the fathers not being involved. This is what I don't understand. On one hand, bw are shunned for being single parents & making bad choices in men they procreate with but on the other, you find "facts" that the men r still involved. WTH?

[marcdaddy33]

"On one hand, bw are shunned for being single parents & making bad choices in men they procreate with but on the other, you find "facts" that the men r still involved. WTH?"

==============

a) The study was conducted by a BLACK WOMAN (and a latino woman)

b) It was comparing non-resident (not living in same home w/ mother) fathers from different backgruonds.

c) children are obviously better off in marriages

d) black people aren't getting married.

[garybooker]

I'm with you! I hated Barack Obama's speech. MOST Black men are good fathers, and it is also pseudoscientific to stereotype Black men.

[marcdaddy33]

When I first heard it, I thought it was a GREAT speech. I mean how does one argue against the idea of men not only providing for their kids, but to be emotionally involved in the life of your child? You really can't- and the central message is a good one.

BUT, then I realized he was making that speech on a day to CELEBRATE FATHERS. NO ONE would EVER make a similar speech on Mother's Day. What's more, I had NO IDEA about the Coley study until I read that Newsweek article.

[marcdaddy33]

Hell, I'm the sort of brotha that loves to keep informed on a wide variety of topics and EVEN I bought into the idea that black men aren't taking care of their kids, even though that concept totally clashed with my experiences with BM with children in my personal life.

So if EVEN I, as a generally informed BM, bough the stereotype HOW MANY MORE bw buy it and have it color their opinions of BM? Hell, how many more BLACK MEN silently believe the media stereotypes about them???

[marcdaddy33]

Given that, OF COURSE a lot of BM didn't accept your mentorship. If society tells black men they are no good and won't amount to anything, if BLACK WOMEN go about telling black men that they are "no good", if NO ONE has faith in black men- and black men are sensing this- it is PERFECTLY LOGICAL that a lot of BM are going to Give up and not even try.

Even though SOME BM may be harsh in the way they present their ideas, if's perfectly LOGICAL for BM to finally start standing up for themselves.

[marcdaddy33]

the brothas on youtube are simply doing the SAME THING that black men were doing back then marching against discrimination: they are metaphorically screaming to society and to black women "I AM A MAN".

[Haitian1130]

" HOW MANY MORE bw buy it and have it color their opinions of BM?"

Umm..If that's a person's reality then they have every right to buy into that. Just like you buy into most of the bull spewed about bw because it's your "experience" and as a result, it "colors" your opinions of bw.

[marcdaddy33]

"ust like you buy into most of the bull spewed about bw because it's your "experience" and as a result, it "colors" your opinions of bw."

----------

Except for the fact that it has NOT been my experience (outside of the weight issue), just like it's not my experience that BM don't take care of their kids.

And how can it be "bull" if it WERE my experience when, in your OWN WORDS you said, ".If that's a person's reality then they have EVERY RIGHT to buy into that"?

[Haitian1130]

I stand corrected. I've been under the impression that you've been experiencing the plethora of "problems" bw have. If yours is only the weight issue, you're in luck.

And you're right. If it's your experience, then it's not bull....

[marcdaddy33]

Now THAT puts a smile on my face, Haitian1130. I very much appreciate it.

I am ESPECIALLY glad that you were willing to correct yourself. Too often in these debates folks aren't willing to say "I stand corrected" or "I was mistaken" or even "I'm sorry".

For my part, I apologize if I said anything that may have been offensive or hurtful to you.

PEACE.

[Haitian1130]

:0)

[ickyou]

You guys need to stop, with this Father's Day speech harsh critique. Have you ever thought that he was trying to use his leadership status as an example for the modern-day black family. Have you ever considered that he may be hurt, for he himself grew up without a father. And he made a comment not to long ago, at an NAACP event, that he will continue to talk about personal responsibility. And yes that means black male responsibility as well as female.

He also may have done it for politics...

[marcdaddy33]

as well as female.

------------

I will buy you a million dollar house on ANY planet you like if you can point me to a SINGLE time ANYONE used a day to CELEBRATE MOTHERS to criticize women.

As a matter of fact, Give me ANY example wear women are addressed AT ALL in the media , by barack obama, or any other politician for the problems in, not only the black community, but ANY community. NOPE... the problems are ALWAYS on the shoulders of the MEN

[marcdaddy33]

As I wrote before, I have no problems with the central message that he was speaking on in his message... but its ridiculous to use a holiday to CELEBRATE fathers to attack them.

"He also may have done it for politics..."

-----------

OF COURSE he did... which UNDERCUTS his who message of CHANGE and being a "new kind of politician" now doesn't it?

[ickyou]

He said in that NAACP event that he will continue to speak on individual responsibility, and he seemed to have been referring to the whole black community.

[marcdaddy33]

Call me when he SPECIFICALLY addresses BLACK WOMEN.

[ickyou]

A'ight homey, I'll let you know when...but if he does, he would most likely be saying his message to women as a whole.

[marcdaddy33]

so he will attack black men SPECIFICALLY on a day to CELEBRATE fathers... but IF he does address black women he won't address them SPECIFICALLY?

He will never address bw for the SAME REASON why he GROVELS and bends over BACKWARDS complimenting Hillary Clinton- to APPEASE the women voters.

[ickyou]

Obviously, he's a good Chess player, and if he's not good at Chess - he's good at Checkers. The man is a good politician, and I will admit, though he is said to be ushering in a new form of politics he's good at the old game of politics.

They probably should call him "Jesus Shuttlesworth", from that movie - HE GOT GAME. And I see brothas hatin' on his game, don't hate the playa, hate the game.

Don't playa hate, appreciate. True playa 4-real. LOL, Obama got game, off and on the court, LOL.

[marcdaddy33]

"Obviously, he's a good Chess player, and if he's not good at Chess - he's good at Checkers. The man is a good politician, and I will admit, though he is said to be ushering in a new form of politics he's good at the old game of politics."

-----------

icky, this is NOT something to be celebrated. All this means is that he will only ended up screwing us.

[ickyou]

"screwing us"

------------

When you say that, are you referring to black voters? If so, please explain.

The Executive branch of gov't does not have ultimate power - it shares power with the Legislative and Judicial branches of U.S. gov't. He's a politician...he makes promises and breaks them, like they all do. Barack Obama is not some SUPER-HEROE coming to save the day. He's only one man, a black man - for that matter. Though he may be a politician, I think he's still a breath of fresh air.

[marcdaddy33]

"When you say that, are you referring to black voters? If so, please explain."

------------------

Not specifically. I mean the whole country. Will he be as bad as GWB? Most definitely not- but if he's ALREADY transforming himself into a politician on the campaign trail after running as a "new kind of politician" who offers "change", then he will CERTAINLY GOVERN like a politician as well.

Proud as I am that a brotha's in his position, I'm not setting him out as "the savior" as so many are.

[marcdaddy33]

On most of the positions that he's held during the primaries he's waffled or made a complete turn around on. I understand that that is what politicians do, which begs the question: if elected which promises will he KEEP that he made to get elected?

I've had enough of politicians; it's time for a STATESMAN to be elected.

[ickyou]

Barack Obama was trying to use his quote-unquote star power and leadership status to address the problem in the black community. Also he himself grew up without a father, which seemed to have influence on his Father's Day speech. He probably is speaking from experience...So give the man a break, he was addressing one of the main issues at hand and that is the absence or lack thereof of black men - being responsible fathers.

[mrmouktar]

your not disproving anything. all you are doing is saying well maybe it did and maybe it didn't your conclusions arn't proving either side.

[MUN7001]

what sides are there, anyways, you sound stupid

[MUN7001]

good, fucking tell these people what its all about, Im tired of these idiot bastards, talking smack about people of color, talking smack about women, they have PERSONAL ISSUES, and trust me they'll disagree with you, if they find it convenient. To me personally, numbers dont matter, because its all about the individual situations, numbers cant describe every detail of someone's life. Either way, I totally respect you debunking the myths

[marcdaddy33]

WOW GARY,

You are doing a little bit of Straw-manning. You are busting a lot of "myths" that black men are NOT making arguments for. I don't know a single BM saying that Feminists killed Martin Luther King, et al.

And pointing out that black women started their OWN feminist movement is a DE FACTO ADMISSION that BW turned to feminism AFTER the CRM.

Feminists turning the justice system into a black male killing machine?  No, BM usually blame White Men, i.e. WHITE SUPREMACY, not feminists.

[marcdaddy33]

And you didn't provide a link on the number of black women being killed in jail more than black men.

Now, I'm sure that there ARE BM on the FRINGE who make the arguments that you are busting, but most of them are NOT what the typical anti-feminist BM makes.

Having said all of that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this video because you unwittingly BUSTED some of the myths that BLACK WOMEN and the wider society makes against black men....

[marcdaddy33]

For example, the idea that black men are so hopelessly unemployed while. In fact, as YOU have shown, there are MORE unemployed BW then there are unemployed BM and BM have only a SLIGHTLY higher unemployment rate:

Black women: 9.5%

Black men: 10.5%

This makes sense because there are MORE BW in the population:

BW: 14,635,000

BM: 11,882,000

What's more, black men have a HIGHER Labor Force Participation Rate than black women:

Black women: 61.6%

Black men: 67.3%

[marcdaddy33]

Also, people seem to forget (as you pointed out) that BW's incarceration rate has increased dramatically over the years. But I read some SHOCKING stuff that even I didn't know from one of your links:

"From 1980 to 2000, the number of women in prison increased nearly twice as fast as the number of men.

Black women are three-fourths of the record-setting number of females in state and local prisons, according to a criminal justice expert..."

Bw are SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT of all female inmates??

[marcdaddy33]

That is MUCH HIGHER than the black male proportion of all MALE inmates. And as you stated, THIS issue is not address by either Black Empowerment Orgs OR (Black/Womanist) Feminists.

"With an incarceration rate of 185 per 100,000 women, Black women were more than twice as likely as Hispanic women and nearly five times more likely than white women to be in prison in 2003."

[marcdaddy33]

"Harrison believes the growing number of female inmates has more to do with tougher sentencing than individual behavior. That could be a leading reason why the states with the highest rate of female inmates are in the South, which has a reputation for being tough on crime."

""Part of it is just being tough on crime," he continued. "But in some respect, it¹s part of the legacy of Jim Crow laws. African-Americans have gone from being enslaved to being imprisoned."

[marcdaddy33]

These last two quotes must kept in mind when we are discussing Black MEN in jail, just like we need to understand this ONCE we FINALLY start tackling the issue of black women in jail. Black women are the mothers of the black community and it is bad enough that too many BM have been dealt hard blows due to Get Tough drug laws.

I commend you Gary Booker, for this video even though I think you made a couple of Strawman arguments.

shutup already, its both the man and the woman that make a family, stop throwing all the responsibility on women, cause you dont want to face it yourself. Your dumbass doesn't understand, that he isnt trying to be one-sided like you, he is being scientific and debunking myths. Go read a book.

---------

Please SPECIFICALLY QUOTE where I intimated that all of the responsibility fell on the women.

"Go read a book."

lol. thank you for that advice.

[garybooker]

C'mon, be nice. :)

[MUN7001]

I really dont get the big ordeal, whether there is more black men in prison or more black women, there are still black people going to jail. Whether there is black feminists, or there is male supporters, there are still single families, so what's the deal. Please do say, jackass

[MUN7001]

you sound one-sided. By the way, YOUR AN ASS. Hope you realize that.

[marcdaddy33]

ok?

[garybooker]

"And you didn't provide a link on the number of black women being killed in jail more than black men."

Yes, I did. There is a USDOJ link about the trends of male and female homicides.

Thanks for the feedback. :)

[marcdaddy33]

GB SAID @3:51- "FACT: More Black female inmates are killed in prison than Black male inmates"

Sorry Brother Gary, but that information is not included in the link provided. I read every word and number and even checked other links on the USDOJ link.

But I'll assume that u meant more black female intimates are killed than BM intimates and you simply had a small mental lapse when you wrote "female inmate" instead of "female INTIMATE" and logically started thinking about prison.

[marcdaddy33]

Of course that information could be on the USDOJ website somewhere... but it wasn't in the link you provided.

Still, despite the disagreements this is a very good video.

PEACE.

[MUN7001]

see your so stupid , CANT READ A GRAPH. lol.

[marcdaddy33]

This comment from an individual who doesn't know the difference between "you're" and "your".

^__^

[MUN7001]

its the internet, you dumb sexist bitch ass

[garybooker]

Actually, check the first link. There is a line graph a little ways down that shows the amounts of female inmates killed in comparison to male inmates. Theres another one a little ways down that breaks it down into race.

[garybooker]

The point I was trying to make by the remark of the assassinations was that people highly overexaggerate the effect of white feminism on the fall of the Black power movement.

[potluck54]

Man you just saw Yellowjumprope's video and mad cause it was the truth!!!!

[SunScorpio8]

Thank you for exposing the truth - people's perceptions are off (sometimes mine is - at least I can admit). I've heard all those arguments and wondered which were true and which weren't. Now I can check out the references and SEE the FACTS for myself. Very even toned video and you got your point across. I could listen to you all day :-)

[garybooker]

That's right. Prison is very rough for sisters. Many of them get raped by corections officers, then there is the violence that occurs, and then there are a large plethora of health issues that sisters deal with in prison.

[unklwlly]

We as black men need to stop blaming the black women for our personal failures! Five stars

[yanixa33]

brilliant

[MaKiNthaMoViE]

Give thorough information.

[QuietOne1986]

Gary, you need your own radio or TV show broadcast all over the world. The world needs to see more young African American men like you. Seriously, you are my new role model.

On this topic, I just have to say that nothing surprises me anymore. Black men who feel inferior and wish to abuse others in efforts to feel better about themselves will always accuse black women of crazy conspiracies, no matter what the facts are.

[garybooker]

You know what's funny? Many of these same folks are quick to call Sean Hannity a racist, only to turn around and plagiarize his anti-feminist rhetoric in discussions about Black people.

[ickyou]

Of course, the word mainstream is my POINT. Blacks, for the most part, are not neccessarily part of any mainstream mov't we only comprise of 13% of the U.S. pop.

No duh, they started their own version of the "women's lib" mov't. They are and still to this day minorities. You fail to mention that without the mainstream "women's lib" mov't black women would not have gotten the idea to associate class oppresion and sexism with institutionalized RACISM - you fail to convince me,'nuff said.

[garybooker]

"You fail to mention that without the mainstream "women's lib" mov't black women would not have gotten the idea to associate class oppresion and sexism with institutionalized RACISM."

This is a very generalizing statement for what is a movement full of varying opinions.

[ickyou]

'nuff said.

[ATLMicki]

That sounds crazy. Are there that many people that believe in these myths? I'm glad I live a sheltered life.

[garybooker]

Yes. You can find these morons all over youtube.

[starlamotivates]

Great Video!!! The bunny is adorable!

[bigjayboogie]

keep exposing fake revolutionaries!

Great vid....

[matthewmilam29]

Damn, Gary -- you went off in that last few minutes. Don't break the monitor, pal :)

[matthewmilam29]

cute bunny. :)
