Patriarchy

 Breukelen Bleu

It was pointed out that the black women who spoke at this rally focused on their dead sons, and police brutality. This is a *WOMAN'S* rally, yet *BLACK* women decided ONCE AGAIN, that their *SONS* are their greatest concern.

.

.

Not the 64k missing black women in this country.

.

Not the 60% rape rates of black girls before the age of 18.

.

Not the 20x HIV stats for bw.

.

Not the eviction rates that mirror bm's incarceration rates.

.

Not the 6x school suspension rates for black girls.

.

Not the dwindling access to reproductive health, birth control & abortion in primarily black areas.

.

Not the collective of black women being worth $5.

.

Not the murder rates of black woman at almost 3x the rate of ww.

.

Not the 11x matricide rage of black pregnant women & new mothers.

.

Not the 50% Herpes rate.

.

Not the 60 cents on the dollar that bw make compared to wm.

.

Not the 2.5x infant mortality rate for black babies & 4x death rate for black mothers.

.

Not our underrepresentation in government, corporate america, higher education and finance.

.

Not our 80% obesity rate, 39% higher breast cancer rate, 2x as high heart disease rates.

.

Not the 50% higher depression rates than ww

.

Not the 72% out of wedlock birth rates

.

Not the abysmal marriage rates.

.

Not the 2x as high divorce rates than ww.

.

Not the 6x higher incarceration rates than ww.

.

.

Not. Any. Of. That. ^^^

.

.

When given the chance to speak to black WOMENS issues on a GLOBAL PLATFORM, black women decided their focus should be on the deaths and inequities of Rayquan'n'em. Not the scores of black DAUGHTERS who have faces the same peril.

.

Something is TERRIBLY wrong with this picture. Something is terribly, terribly wrong.

.

.

This is not even about them.

.

This is about US.

.

This is about US and what EVER it is that makes black women place their daughters, sisters, mothers and selves at the back of all things considered, and the effect it's having on our position as a whole.

.

.

Let's talk about this. Why, even when given the platform designed specifically to do so, won't black women CHOOSE BETTER by choosing OURSELVES?

----

I did not watch or participate in the Women's March this weekend, but I would not be surprised if what is described above actually happened. Can anyone else confirm that more time was spent talking about black men's experiences with police brutality than black women's and girls' experiences with the above?

Single mother story

  This is Breukelen Bleu’s story: My son left today for the summer. He will be attending two very prestigious summer programs, one of which will allow him to travel abroad. He was nervous yesterday and this morning, and that caused him to talk a lot and have a cloudy mind. He’s been emotional and moody the past few weeks, and this week was especially hard for him, because its the 3 year anniversary of an attack he endured on his way home from school in 2011. In broad daylight, he was attacked by three older black males, whom he didn’t know or had never seen before. Just steps from our front door, he was “jumped’, beaten, pistol whipped, and robbed for 3 dollars. The cops said he simply made eye contact with the wrong dude, and in a second, his life was forever changed. Trying to make a 14 year old understand, how the day after his 8th grade graduation (which just the night before he declared had been the “best day of his life”), he could be coming home from school…at 2pm on as sunn...

Who was at the gate

 ATTN BLACK SISTERS: Breukelen Bleu has a new video out. This is one of the most important, life-changing videos you will ever watch. It’s long but PLEASE check in and give this video a listen.  We recommend viewing the entire video, particularly the first portion which bring the hidden historical receipts.  The following excerpts contain present-day info.  EXCERPTS (brief description, not direct quoted):                  1:04:37 – They (black males) were the first to call us hoes, thots, bitches, chicken-head, pigeonhead etc. Every five years, these men come up w/ different words to describe how horrid out women are. NO OTHER RACE OF MEN does this. No other race of men has pumped out music that drag the image of their mothers and daughters so that across the world, people who’ve never seen black people, their first introduction to black people is black males calling their women bitches. There are races of males who HATE t...

KSC's snippets

I will disown, cut off, and if necessary, put my own son in the ground, before I allow him to denigrate and disrespect my image or the Archetype of Black Womanhood. To allow him to dishonor is mother, is high treason and should be approached as such. Anything less is admitting to the world, that he is worth noting, because he comes from nothing (Me). And that is not something I will allow my son to believe – ever. I’d see him gone, before I’d see him embrace THAT belief, and share it with the world. I’d see him gone. -Breukelen Bleu Love the line in Breukelen Bleu's video where she speaks of self-preservation as the number one purpose for all life forms. Yet, BW have been so brainwashed by the cultish black community that we do not hold this innate value that ALL lifeforms share. You as a male do not fina fault in this because BW have been using their LIFE to support BM to no avail. Game Changer: Shonda Rhimes is tackling so many important issues and giving away so many great lesso...
