A lot of Black People, Black Men in particular, have information to share and stories to tell. A lot of you Negroes won’t read it if they did a 1500 word post so the next best thing is them using their words and skills to basically produce videos that without ai would be to expensive to make.

So when we have brothers who create video and tell stories with ai why do we attack each other calling it AI slop all the time? If the substance is there and it’s a good topic what’s wrong with using today’s available technology to do what we need to do to educate?

What are some things that neither side would deny is true or should be a common goal.

I usually do these by day but I felt like running them at the same time just to keep the conversations going.

The other thread is about sexuality, identifying what both sides of the gay/straight Black Male Community agree on. This thread is about religion. I’m want to see if we see different things in the different threads.

Let’s not talk about what we disagree on, let’s talk about only what we think we absolutely agree on.

What social policies matter most to both sides? What are the things that neither side disagrees on. Of course I don’t really mean 100% but let’s go for at least 85%.

What are the policy goals neither side will ever work against?

I see it so often from the LGBTQ+ Black Men. If we are discussing the fact that Black Fathers have no rights to children and how Single Mothers can be a part of the problem with the rise of YN culture then the first line of defense for those single mothers are the childless LGBTQ+ Black Men.

Same with the bonnets conversation, Black Men supported standards for being outside, LGBTQ+ Black Men jumped to the front line asking why were Black Men dictating what women could and could not do.

Same with DEI, white women and Black Women and LGBTQ individuals benefitted from that much more than us. When we said we honestly didn’t gaf they were again the first line of defense saying we should care because of our mothers and daughters, they never have input that helps us attain better rights or privileges, they just constantly say as men we should…

The list goes on and on. No matter what quarrels Black Men may have, the LGBTQ Black Man joins with our counterpart that we date, that we marry, that we have families with and they run to their defense.

But then comes time for Men’s issues. To discuss the things that affect men, and the LGBTQ+ Black Man wants to be included. Mf for what? They’ve not been interested in men’s positions, they don’t advocate for men’s rights, they take the opposing side in men’s arguments. Why try to be a part of men’s conversation? Even when we’re open to it, it’s just like letting a woman into the talks. They parrot the women’s talking points. The are willing to give concessions that don’t involve them. What assistance does a childless man offer Black Men in discussing the issues of the family? None.
