(ThyBlackMan.com) One can only imagine what black community would be like in 2016 if our men and women were united. Our unification, and love, have been under attack since our ancestors were taken to this land. Too many of us stereotype, and put each other down, as a whole because of a bad encounter. There is good and bad in every race so why is it when we are dealing with our own the terms “all” or “every” has to be applied. This behavior is counter-productive, and very dangerous when it begins to work its way into movement.

We’ve gotten use to “black men don’t love nor support black women”, and “black woman are about drama and bitter”. This poison causes us to discourage each other in love, and try to write each other out of the current day movement. Without value amongst our men and women no movement will be successful for our people.

The twitter hashtag #BlackMenSupportLeslieJones went viral as 2017-blackcouple-2017brothers reacted to the cyber-attack against comedian Leslie Jones. She has been treated harshly on social media as many saw her as unattractive as she doesn’t fit into the box of “what is beautiful”. Many black women responded with joy that black men were defending a black woman. Some even commented it’s about time, as if we have been totally undefended by All Black Men. Malcolm X’s quote is thrown around quite a bit, but did we forget the quote came from a black man?

The most disrespected person in America is the Black woman, the most unprotected person in America is the Black woman. The most neglected person in America is the Black woman.

Black celebrities are not the largest percentage of the black male population. There are many black men that support, uplift and fight for black women every day. We cannot continue to allow our view of black men to be determined by the media, and our personal relationships. Yes, that plays a part but we can’t blanket ALL black men under the pain that we have personally experienced.

In kind black men must begin to realize every black woman is not a single mom on welfare or a gold digger. All of us are not using our education, and careers to belittle black men. All of us do not view you as less than. It would be very helpful for black men to congregate among each other to address the treatment of black women. We all must hold each other accountable, and we cannot throw stones at each other and achieve unity. We must realize we are still marrying each other in high percentage, and black love is still beautiful.

The media has feed us so much hatred that we have begun to believe it. We are literally attaching our personal experiences to the whole of our community which we don’t know. If we open our eyes we, sisters and brothers, can receive healing from each other. Yes, black love is still beautiful. Some of us love outside of our race, and it’s okay. However, we ought not be ridiculed by our own for loving our own. It is not a waste of time to love a black man that loves us back. It is not a waste of time to love a black woman that loves you. We must get to a place of positive unity, and accepting of our love for community to heal.
