As controversial as it may be to say this.

Men catch more heat for our shortcomings because deep down people subconsciously look for men to be the leaders of our communities.

We are held to a higher level of accountability and responsibility.

I've said this before...

But the reason every time you ask women about their actions they go:

"Well men do x so I do y"

Even the most "feminist" women do this not realizing that they are admitting that men set the standard. Men lead even when we aren't trying to.

Black men aren't the only ones who take the extra criticism.

Look at white women, pretending as if it is solely white men who are the racists when in fact they are equally racist.

Pretending as if them being women somehow makes them morally superior.

Black men catch the most heat out of all men because on top of everything I mentioned it is socially encouraged to demonize black men.

So on top of the systematic issues....you have your own women AND fellow men accusing you of all things wrong with your community.

Look, at this point me and several others have showed y'all the hypocrisy. It's blatant at this point.

Black men just gotta learn how to drown out the noise and focus on building ourselves and in turn our communities will grow positively as well.

We have a responsibility.

We are leaders regardless of if you want to accept it or not so we gotta behave like leaders.

And kill me for saying this but we are the ONLY ones who can save us.

Fuck all that other noise.
