 A lot of this, like, intergender dysfunction is a consequence of white supremacy's effort to keep us divided so we're easier to conquer. So in Africa, they did it by separating people by tribes, creating arbitrary countries where they really didn't need to be. And then instead of Africa speaking with one voice, Nigeria saying one thing, Ghana saying one thing, Liberia saying another thing, but then within the Black family, they use feminism to lure Black women away from civil rights. So now I'm going to identify primarily with my womanhood outside, I mean, instead of my blackness, right? And then in the modern day, I think the biggest thing is like, think about it, if you're a real estate agent. Is it better for you to sell one house to a family or two houses to two single people? Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. So there's an incentive, there's literally a financial incentive for the power structure, whether we're talking about white supremacy or just like capitalism, to keep people individualistic, to keep people focused on happiness and what's in my best interest and romance and the options that I have as opposed to us coming together for a greater purpose. And I think that plays out with the racial, not the racial, but ethnic divide between Black people of the diaspora, especially my red light is bigger than I thought it would be. The biggest thing that I've been trying to get people to focus on is like, our bullshit helps the enemy and our inability to actually listen to each other and critique ourselves helps the enemy. Because even like, Manasphere Niggas, sometimes they're too afraid to say what's wrong with the Manasphere. They can't even criticize Kevin. And similarly, on the female side, there's a lot of women that they'll repost. They might say some good shit every now and then, but sometimes they say bullshit and it's like, I should be able to call out the people on my side who might not be consistent with the message to encourage all to call out people on your side who are not consistent with the message. So that's my biggest thing, man. What's your thoughts on the pink pill? By besting? Not necessarily, I'm not sure if that's what it is, but I know I've seen a MCR post about it once. I'm by the pink pill, showed a clip of it, and it was Helm, it was Auburn Preach. Yeah. But the woman was spitting, it was like, you know, you have to, pretty much it was like all about her. And then... Like the sprinkle, sprinkle lady? Her too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, if I'm being real, I think it's all under the same umbrella of divesting. It's all under the same umbrella of, as a woman, my job is to just exist, live a soft life. And you know, my dude should trick over me. My dude should, his job is to pay my bills and pay for my nails and hair and shit like that, which is really, I call it soft core prostitution. But people don't look at it that way. But pink pill though, it started with Crystal Kersen. Yeah. First of all. But ironically, she got a divorce from her white husband, you know. But we don't hear those stories. Of course you don't. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, man, I think also with a lot of these girls growing up without fathers, they feel like they don't need men. So if they're going to tolerate us, the least we can do is trick on them. I see another angle. I didn't say that that one is not true. I was watching, I stayed away from this show since this inception, but I only got into it. I was repotting my plant on Sunday. Shout out to Chris Kelly. Black man, he owns a shop, came out of COVID. So as I'm repotting it, I saw the show called Wrapshit. And I was like, all right, let me go ahead and get this shot. Love, Easter egg. She's actually the way I want to pitch to. And about like the eighth episode, like at first, like you got the main quote unquote character. And she's a very straightforward down on her luck. She wants to be an artist, but she's very conscious. Over the course of eight episodes, her other friend that started off as like a stripper, reform prostitute, when he got to a rap group, then you see based on their love life, they begin to switch. The reform prostitute, she go, I'm saying these names because I can't remember the names. But because of what her child is going through and what her child is trying to get was doing between her and her baby's father. Now she's starting to question like, maybe I should give him another chance because he's starting to change around too. Because he's giving in to actually leaning on somebody else when life is starting to hit him. Like, you know, nobody's looking out for him or whatever. And she's showing up like, I'm going to pay your card. I'm going to pay your card though. So the more he's opening up, accepting help, and the more the daughter is showing like, I want you all to be together. On the other side, the main character, she just got her, by her boyfriend, the one that looks to be doing right. Now she's turned the side work. But there was a point in the story at like, I don't understand, ninth episode, old girl that has a child. She was like, hey, you know, my baby father was like, hey, I want to take you over here. Is he trying to take me on a date? The main character was like, yeah, but don't you go for it? I leave him alone. She just got out of a painful relationship. The way that he did her like on Instagram Live, I'm not supporting her. And now she's messing with this Caribbean dude that's been trying to get hers from the jump. So a fabulous, a dope lyric. He got a lot of cordobos, but it's called Friends of Foes or something like that. Bad if you're watching this, I'm sorry. But he was like, I heard Femalyn, the whole friend is a bad team. And I've experienced that personally before. It was all good until one of her friends got into a situation and started saying, well, he doing X, Y, and Z and it wasn't causing to make a decision. And everybody's like, what's wrong with you? And I was like, I ain't had a signal and you already know what it was. So I see that a lot more. I get the, you know, not growing up with a father in the house. But I'll see the other part where your friends can also- The competition piece. Yes. They're looking at it and they're pouring their season to it because they're a trusted source. And she's like, well, maybe you're right. And I believe I see that more often than not versus the no father in the house. That's a good point. Because I've talked to someone with the father in the house and she, it's like- She still has that same mindset? She's hard. Like, my sister. And that's what I was going to say. It's both. My sister, I think it's not- When I say no father, I don't necessarily mean like a complete absent father. Sometimes I mean absent minded. Like not hands on involved. Like my dad wasn't hands on involved. He was there. But like when people meet me and they assume like, oh, your dad probably put you on a game. Nah, I learned all this shit by myself. He didn't tell me about women, money, nothing. Yeah. So I think similarly, a lot of the people who are setting the cultural trends, right, musicians, actors, this and that, they're coming from those single mother or no father or absent father or absentee, mentally father environment. So in their mind, it already cheapens the value of men. And then there's a general kind of zeitgeist is girl power, we can do this shit better than y'all. We don't really need y'all. And I think all that feeds into this sense of, well, if we're going to use y'all, y'all need to be making yourselves useful because you don't have any intrinsic value in my life. I can get my own money. You know what I'm saying? I can, the government is going to protect me. I can live by myself. So you got to be tricky or else what's the point? Even if I have a dad, some of these good dads are fucking their daughters up too. Yeah. Because they set the bar so high if you're not doing what my dad did, even though I'm his responsibility, if you're not doing that day one, then you're not. You know what I'm saying? And it's like, come on now, be reasonable. Be reasonable. When I was growing up, I would say the old Jesus in the neighborhood, they'll be the ones correcting. When the father was in there, they were the ones that corrected us. I've had someone I try to join again. I was like, bro, this ain't for you. Another one of my friends, he was like, man, you're the pookie of the neighborhood. I mean, not the pookie. Whatever the character was in Boys in the Hood, they're going to kill me for this. You talking about Ice Cube's character? Not Ice Cube, but the good brother. The good son. Cuba? Cuba's character? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cuba's good as a character. He was like, nah, you him on the hood. You got to make it out. You can't do this, but... This ain't what you want. This ain't it. So around the late 90s, early 2000s, all of them getting locked up, pulled out. I mean, he even took your wings. He got pulled out not because of what, necessarily what he did, but what he was about to do. He was about to unify everybody. That's not a good thing. Well, in the enemy's side. Right. The ones that's going against us. Right. So all of them are going. I just had people that's learning from rap. Yeah. True story. True story. I was looking... There was a Jewel Santana song. Yeah. That legit taught you. He was at least teaching you how to cook crap. I tried it. Mom, I'm sorry. I tried to do it to impress some girl. And luckily, Body Grace and God didn't work out. But that was my... I was like, I need to impress this and need to do that. I'm going to learn from Jewels. He's teaching us how to do it. So, it's that, you know, I can't go to my... I can't go to my next man to learn or get on with what he's doing. Right. Because he's trying to do something else. And it's kind of intuitive to what people think I should be doing. And to that point, like... What I've been kind of telling women recently is like, y'all don't give yourselves enough credit. Like, what y'all think girl power is, is really boy power. This is being manifested by a woman, right? Real girl power and real women's power is in their ability to regulate the type of men or the type of male behavior that we see proliferate, right? Because just like you said, there are a lot of dudes who, the reason why they got into a certain lifestyle is because they saw that was what was going to get them the type of results that they want with women the whole nine. Or even status among men to get women. You see what I'm saying? And then on top of that, when women in our community unfortunately choose to continue to replicate a certain archetype of black men, not only do we see more of those black men because the apple tends to not fall too far from the tree, especially if you're raising it in that same soil, right? The same hood, same environment the whole nine. But not only that, even the brothers like me and you, it tells us that if we want that outcome, which means progeny, which means legacy and things like that, I have to make myself, or at least make myself appear like the men that I'm seeing successful in this ultimate mating endeavor, which is what every species is trying to do. So now you're having the pookies and ray-rays as we call them, literally replicated, but then you're having the Russells turn themselves into futures to compete. Right. So over time, women's demand has caused an overabundance of shitty dudes. And a scarcity of really good men. And then nowadays, the good dudes are not saying, okay, I'm going to turn into future. Oh, I'm going to get my passport. Yeah. They're taking a whole different route. They're taking a whole different route, but the result is the same. You know, I haven't been a fan of... I don't have as much of a problem with passport bros as I do save yourself, Black Man, that movement. Save yourself, Black Man. Yeah, SYSBM. That's a new one in my ears. Yeah, yeah. I would say that was probably the foundation of passport bros. But the reason I don't mind passport bros is like, yo, if you're going to South Africa, I don't blame you. If you're going to Nigeria, bro, have you seen those bros? I've seen them. I've seen them recently. If you're keeping it black, I don't blame you at all. Man, you put up a slasher. Yo. Listen. Yo. Listen. Listen. I can show you some shit. But anyway, the point that I'm making is like, as men in particular, we can't afford to be pying the sky, hoity-toity, shit is going to be sweet. We have to anticipate problems. Like I talk about all the time. To provide or protect work for them, you have to kind of be pessimistic. If you're going to be a bodyguard, you have to anticipate there is a mugger on every single corner. So with that being said to your point, the dudes in Colombia, they're coming back and saying, oh no, it's a bunch of single mothers over there. However, which is the part that I think our women kind of gloss over in the States is like, even though they're single mothers in other places, they still have those intangibles that men here are complaining about. Because even Kevin Sammonds would say, men will go down in looks to go up in cooperation. Yes. Men will go down in, oh, you got kids to go up in cooperation. Yes. I don't know if our women are thinking about competition on an international stage. I don't think they're thinking of Colombian women want our men too. South African women want our men too. Are we being competitive? Because guess what? Men are running to Thailand to find wives, to Colombia to find wives, to some other places to find wives. Are men running to the United States to find wives? No. The answer is no. If they come here, they already got a wife with them. And again, it's because little dick energy or who hurts you. Who hurts you or you want a bitch you can control and then it starts sounding condescending towards the women as if we as American women are inherently better than these women. What you're not acknowledging is like, you speak one language, she speaks five. You know what I'm saying? You got your bachelor, she might have her masters. But because she knows speak English too well, you think you're better than her. And it's like, that's also some of that American condescension. But, like I was talking to Courtney Michelle today, I was like, yo, we got to evolve. This conversation passed just saying, oh, these niggas don't get no hoes. And that's why they running away and shit like that. Right. It's not that simple. There's a question I commonly ask when I maybe talk to them with a homegirl of mine or even somebody I may be interested in and they want to take a shot at a more deaf perception of me. And I usually ask them when they say something similar to I'm trying to figure out what I want to do. That's a common one. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do. Similar from a funny one. Maybe like, yo, this is working stuff. I just find it funny. This working stuff is ghetto. I'm trying to get like, I believe in some general hoes. I'm just trying to be at the house. And I usually ask them like, so what is it that you want to contribute to life? What is it that you want to contribute to society? And that usually, it's like a very balanced question where there's no offense that can be taken and it makes you go, hmm, I mean, it's a question I ask myself one time. When I was down in my luck, I said, what is it that I actually want to do? A legacy. Right. And I just throw that to them. And it usually goes around, I've only met like a couple that were like super duper career women oriented. But most of them it was just kind of boils down to some of the basics. Yeah. I want a nice man. I want a home. I want to be able to do X, Y, and Z. But the path you're taking is completely, as you said earlier, masculine, we're like man prowess. Stuff that we can, I believe that we naturally just take on. My thing though is like, there's this prevailing idea among women in general, but I would say black women in particular, that when it happens, I don't know. And what I mean by that specifically is when I meet a man who is dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, then I'll become dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. When I meet a masculine man, I'll become soft. When I meet a man who takes care of bills, I'll become a homemaker and shit like that. And it's like, yo, you talking about getting to the league, but you're not even on your high school basketball team yet. You talking about getting to the league, but you don't even work out. You know what I'm saying? And it's this fairy tale kind of idea that I'm every woman that's all in me. And it's like, no, it's not. It's not all in you. You don't know how to, this isn't about magic. This is about competence. The caliber of man that you're asking for, he has requirements. He has standards. Your job is not just to look around and sit around and be pretty. And even if, like, let's say you find a wolf of Wall Street type nigga. And even if your job, you got to cook the whole night and your job is to be pretty. No, your job is to get him deals as well. When he takes you to the government, to the governors ball, are you the person who can finesse a room and give him in front of the right people? You move in areas that I can't. Come on now. And you're not in practice doing that. What you're in practice doing is my job. Who the fuck I need you for? If I'm Karee, am I trying to draft another point guard for the center? So learn how to rebound. Don't worry about dribbling the ball. Like, that's me. I got you. I didn't realize how important this shit was, man. Like somebody DM me today, it was like, yo, is that just somebody I went to middle school with? It was like, yo, I've been watching your stuff, man. This shit, Loki saved my life. I don't know why yet. I asked him why he hasn't responded yet, but I'm like, God, hell. That's a lot of freakin' weight. That's heavy. But I think the main thing though is like, and I think for better or worse, even with my critiques of Kevin Samuels, what he did was he, Loki gave men permission to express themselves. Yes, he did. In a world that doesn't want us to, right? And I think, I think Loki, even for better or worse, the shit that I say that's good, that's terrible, it's just, damn, it's nice to see a brother say what we feel. It's nice to see a brother actually like, be intelligent and articulate himself. So when I see other brothers doing it, brother, however I can help, however I can support, man. That's the type of time I'm on. That's what, once I'm getting, that's what we're talking. And he was shook up like, nah, I do agree with him though. He was like, yeah, all these, all these women out here talking about something, the alpha woman, the alpha, whew. And he was going against the whole thing of, that's not a thing. These, you know, pressing on archetypes, I mean, I do agree to archetypes in some form or fashion, like there's something that you identify with the building one. But to make your whole identity after just these pre-set of things, you're limiting yourself. So he disagreed with me, but I was stating, I may disagree with, you know, Midtown and all that kind of stuff, but I understand why they exist. There's a place needed for them. It's just, when you stay in it for too long, that's what the issue is. In fact, my brother, he stayed in it too long one time. I had to like pull him out of what they call, Red Kill Rage. Because then his whole YouTube time, I was full of, let me just shitting on black men. I was again, but there's like another set. Like you have to, you have to get out. You're an echo chamber. Yeah. At that point. So to your point, I understand why they exist. It's needed. They got to get it out. I just believe there's not like the next stage for them right now. That's what I'm trying to be. Because in the thing, I've been talking about the most recently. And I talked about this with Tyrese. I talked about this with Zion. Even with Will Smith. Like, we are creating these women. Like literally following these women, right? But more than everything, more than anything, we're the ones incentivizing their behavior. We are. Who pays for OnlyFans? Men. Who built OnlyFans? Men. You see what I'm saying? You lose, like I was talking about Tinder Select the other day. Ain't no woman signing up for that. $500 a month for matches. Hell no. That's men. That's going to be sugar dead. It's going to be tricks. So these women who are embracing this whole high class escort aesthetic, bad bitch aesthetic. So if we starve the demand, the supply will starve. But we think that women are supposed to make these changes independent of the fact that we reward them for how they are currently. Because we know it's easier, at least those who get bitches. We understand it's easier to sleep with women now than it's ever been. So it's like a part of me still wants them to hold on to some of that independent, modern girl, you know. So like we got to make our minds up, man. Do we want better kids and daughters? Or do we just want easy access? Easy access is going to get dead after a while. Jaco said best, you know, one bitch doing for the same no more. And he don't really care the pain no more. What are we doing? We're at fault. Yeah. And again, that doesn't, because I see the two extremes of this. Like one extreme is like, you know, the Eve, I guess the Eve paradigm. It's all they fault. They were a curse and this, this and that. Lilith and all that good stuff. But then the other side is like, it's all men's fault. And it's like, both things have to happen. Like just like I was saying, women have to incentivize better types of men. Yeah. But men also have to set more boundaries. Two things can be true at the same time. We don't talk about the dudes who were calling Kevin Sam in the show. What you do for a living? I don't really have a job right now. You know what I'm saying? I'm on my mama's couch. We don't talk about that. This man obliterated men. Listen. It was kind of hard to listen to, but I was like, God damn. You see, they needed to hear that though. Yeah, they did. Women on the other hand, and this is my critique of Kevin Sam. God rest his soul. I've been doing this since college. You know, 2013. Women don't receive, I'm talking about from my mom, from my sisters, from women I've interviewed, from women in school, women I've dated. Women don't receive it that way, bro. So it ends up just being catharsis. Yeah. And domination porn for the men in red pill rage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? And that's been my critique of some even female creators, because like, you're not talking to women. Yeah. You're not, because they're not listening to that. Let's be real. Yeah. Your titles are black women are all going ahead. Women ain't clicking on men. You're talking to men. So tell the truth. And then you have some of them selling testosterone. Yeah. I saw that. I was shocked. I'm like, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Name no names. Mm-hmm. Okay. So you said, this is what you want to do for the, do for the men is to make that the next stage. Why? It has to be a, a selfish point of this somewhere. Then the next stage, as far as like, us taking ownership? Or just like, when they, when they are in that red pill environment, and then it comes to that point, it got to, well, as you said, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it got to, well, as you said earlier, eat raw. And you have, you want to make this landing spot for them? Mm-hmm. Why? Red pill rage is dangerous, bro. First and foremost. Mm-hmm. When women are angry, my foot's going to be cussed out. Shit gets broken, thrown, shit like that. Mm-hmm. But men are angry. People can potentially die. Mm-hmm. Like in sales, dangerous. Red pill rage, even the government is investigating this this aspect of the internet right now. And unfortunately, what they're not doing is making the distinction between you know, pressure fit and me, right? But ultimately like, for me it boils down to internal locus of control and external. And I think a lot of red pill rage keeps you in this sense of I'm the victim here. There's nothing I can do. It's everybody else's fault. So resentment builds and it disempowers you. And as a man, powers everything for us. So for me, it's actually changing the paradigm and being like, yo, you ain't gotta tolerate that girl. You understand? You, even with the yellow flags project, how can you be proactive in analyzing her? How can you be proactive in discerning, if you guys work, right? Like I talk about rose-colored glasses. For us, unfortunately, our rose-colored glasses are on before we have sex with a woman and then they come off after. For women, it's the opposite. For women, it's like, okay, what's wrong with this dude? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we give him the little, you know what I'm saying? Then it's like, oh, I love him and I don't know what's wrong with it. Throw it switches, right? So I'm trying to encourage men like, yo, get in the habit of taking that off. Get in the habit of thinking about, will I like her past hidden? Will I like her past opposite? Will I like her past this newness and the novelty of I'm impressing this girl and she fine and she likes me and this is, is this sustainable? You know, think about it like an employer. Think about it like a business owner. I don't just need you to help me take nice pictures for the company website. I need you to be able to fulfill these tasks as they're laid out by your job description, as they are intended by the gap that this company needs to fill from a skill set, from a competence standpoint. Right, right, right. I need a mother to my children. I need a grandmother to my grandchildren. I need somebody who can carry on my legacy if for some reason I have to go to prison or I go to the grade. Your looks ain't gonna do that. It's cool, it's cool, but it's not gonna do that. So for me, it's about, and unfortunately, most men don't get to that point until you experience a lot of women and you realize they're not sugar and spice and everything nice. But if you haven't done that, you're liking this. I'm old this and I didn't get it. So I'm like, yo, if I could translate that to them, like these dudes who want models, you don't want a model, bro. You don't, you don't want a model like they find, they look good. In my experience, any woman over a nine, cuckoo. And it's not even a fault. It's the same reason why like athletes are dumb sometimes. You know, if you're being rewarded for one aspect of your personality, you have no incentive to develop others. If you have a killer crossover, you're not working on your jump shot. You're not even coming to practice low-key. You know, so that's what happens with them. But again, men aren't thinking about this. We're just thinking about, I bought this bitch flowers and she ain't like the flowers. I was told this is like, and it's like, no, it's more than that. Yeah. It was a complex, man. It's complex, man. It's chess, it's chess, bro. But for a long time, I think it's been at least in the mannish sphere. It's kind of been the blind leading the blind in a way. Like men who are not networked with women. Men who don't have res for real. So they're just re-articulating the grievances of other men like that. As opposed to men on the other side or men who, I consider myself, somebody's been on the fence. Like I've stepped into this world, but I've also stepped into that world. So articulate to you that like, yo, it ain't what you think it is. It's not at all what you think it is, what you think you're missing out. You're really not. And I understand the companionship shit, but like also understand your peace. Also understand that as a man, you need to get comfortable being by yourself. For sure. Because that's what makes a woman respect you. Just like a negotiation. If I came to buy your car, right? And I give you a price for the car. You don't want the car. I mean, you don't want to sell it at that price. And I say, well, it was great meeting you. Have a nice day. I'm welcome. Hold on, hold on. Let's rethink it. But if you like, okay, how about this? How about this? How about this? I'm desperate. So you might even end up selling it to me at a higher price than you intended on in the first place. That's what's happening with these men. Now these women saying, I want $300 dates. I don't want cheesecake and shit like that. And men are like, I'm going to meet that demand. And it's like, are you seeing the niggas who are women? They're not meeting that demand. They're not emotionally intelligent. They're not financially well off, whatever the case may be. But he's gonna fuck your bitch because he understands something you don't. And we can continue to blame the women, but like, it's more than that, man. Way more than that. Way more than that.
