Shahrazad Ali On How Feminism Destroyed The US Black Family

my position is that the black woman's disrespect and rebellion against the leadership and the authority of the black man is the direct cause of the breakdown in our black family structure now of course there are many black people who consider those fighting words because as black women we have never been subject to the kind of examination that our men have been subject to since we have been here we have been somewhat protected and shielded from any kind of critiquing about our personal behavior whereas our men have always been up for examination the book is not an attack on black women I have never said that all black women do everything that I listed in my book none of us have lived long enough to do everything that I listed a book but most of us do some of the things that I have listed in my book and I do say that it is not because of generalizations that we are all victimized by some of the negative patterns of behavior in the book but the book just represents our collective contribution this is some of everything that we have done or that we do daily that contribute to the breakup of our relationship the destruction of our man and the failure of our children to be able to function they did not tell us that all of that of being my own person and I'm independent would lead to separation loneliness celibacy and lesbianism they then tell us that if you give up the man you're gonna take one of these things and it's worse and it will destroy your nation they didn't give us that information they made us think that it was some kind of glorified position to brag about the fact that I got my own job on credit card in my own car so I don't need no man I don't even know how we got that mixed up ain't no I think I'm gonna do it have a beer with no man yeah we have some serious relationship problems that a nobody has been able to address us on because everybody wants to pretend that this is not going on you know over 60% of our women are single widowed separated on divorce they don't have a minute that just came out of Florida and they got a housing complex that the Urban League built which is a black organization that is for women and children only they don't they say they don't allow any man in there but I talked about them real bad that's the silliest program I've ever heard of you know no women I had man if they got a bunch of children they need fathers they need protection we hear about the drug problem that we have in our projects across the country it's one of the major places that we have a drug problem you know we talk about the great strengths that we have this black women well the welfare department don't rent government apartments to single black me those apartments belong to black women who are allowing this to go on in their home we have not looked at what part of the responsibility do we share yes black can't sell a lot of drugs and a lot of us black women get the money from the drugs and by somebody's fascicles we will drive - somebody's fancy cars he is not doing these things alone and without support from us whether they are good or bad see we have a lot of power we are very strong women I'm saying we're using our strength in the wrong direction we're using it to tear a man down tear our nation down instead of building it up having an education and a job is not does not necessarily mean you have a successful life I keep telling black women that to raise a child they say well I provided with food clothing and shelter that's my raising a child that's maintaining one to raise a child you need a parental coalition of a man woman we have sons who are by not having a father in the home they don't know how to respect women they take on the black feminine female emotion ISM their doubtful their indecisive they can't make a decision they don't know what to do about being a man but we can't teach them that we don't have that knowledge we have daughters who grew up in a home where they don't see any affection where there's no man there they go out into the world I try to meet they don't have no idea how to be no woman to no man how to make function in a house with a man cuz they haven't seen it most of our children just like us get all the information we have about how you be with a mate of television here's the only medium this shows us anybody being together those rules have not worked for us the white women's liberation movement we don't have anything to do with that we have not been under the control of the black man over 500 years so what do we have to get liberated from in front [Applause] that's the white woman in hub man they're going through that and that's their business we don't have any business being in there they only introduced it to break down the civil rights movement civil rights movement started with the black land a black woman and a black child standing together trying to plead for a freedom justice and equality and more benefits in the country that they had helped build they threw the white woman in there with the women's liberation movement and made it a woman against man thing that created a big separation between black men and black women because then everybody start going for self then they bring the welfare system in and tell us in order to feed and clothe and house our children we have to give up I mean you have to put the man out of the house when the white farm wife goes to the government for subsidy for the farm they don't tell her to get rid of the farmer they keep that family together but in the black community they make it a requirement because they want to keep endorsing into the black community that the black man is no good and that he is not deserving of respect he is not deserving of us letting him give us any protection our instruction and that we are better than them the major responsibility that the black woman has had on the earth for the over the trillions of years that we have has been one of nutrition and birthing children those two things have a great deal to do with the survival of any people to reproduction at a nation and feed them to proper food so that they can live those are very important jobs those are very powerful positions as it puts us in a position to decide who's gonna live or die and how slow they gonna die I will be feeding we have a very powerful position that's that's not a small role that we play we have just been taught to misrepresent and misuse that power the people who we have been counting on to give us the truth about how you get along have failed the white people don't know how to get along they don't have that information except they don't get along with nobody on earth so they don't have no information impart to us about how we supposed to get along they changed their relationship rules that will we have you know tons of black children around this country that I hear from who will have grown up traumatized by the fact that they were referred to as the outside child you know when we were having children like that they called it illegitimate children I tell the white woman start having them in their single parenting they changed the card for what they're doing so I've called are not people to change them depending on what we want to do what our needs are there is another need that has not been addressed in our community no because nobody will deal with it and that's one that God did not create three sexes we only have men and women now I have not said that we should reject the sisters who try and act like men and the men who try and act like women I'm not saying to reject them from among us but they need to be told we don't have to accept that as some kind of normalcy because that's not normal [Applause] they have set rules that they have forced us to follow that they don't even follow themselves they changed the rules to suit them when they get ready we can change them to suit us when we get ready especially if we have what we have now which is a failing system it hasn't worked for us we don't have to be ashamed that it hasn't worked for us but we do have to be ashamed of the fact that we keep plodding behind it and not trying to make the corrections that will help our people to survive [Music] [Applause] the one with educational background is [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] we represent the missing link as black women the black man has been dissected examined the white man the white woman in the black child but it has been us as black women who have never been examined we have been protected we have been insulated we have been kept from any kind of criticism about our personal behavior in the whole man outside of the home and we have been given the false compliment that we are the backbone of the black nation there is no doubt in any community in this country that the men and those communities are the backbone of their Nations there's no doubt in the white community that the white man is the backbone of his nation the European the Buddhist the Koran the Japanese the Hispanic all of those men are the backbones of their community and there's no doubt about it it is only in the black community where those values have been transposed and where they put that burden on us and tell us that we are the backbone of the black community which is a direct insult to the black man and implies that he don't have no backbone and that his women have to represent him I remind people all the time that God did not make the white man the white woman the black woman and then the black man he made the black man first and he created all of the rest of people afternoon in 1985 I was going about the country trying to still work to teach our people something trying to get them to stop eating pork and at that time I was having what I called get off those hold lectures and I would take the microscope out and I would show black people how even if you cook pork you couldn't kill the worm I would show them that the worm was still alive in the meat after heat because that's what they told us that you could cook it and kill the worm and so I would show him what it did to the brain and the spinal column and so there were many black men who wanted to stop eating pork they wanted to change their diets and they were in agreement but it was the black woman who I found who was the most adamant who refused to change their cooking heavens who didn't want to shop differently who didn't want to do any different meal planning and so I say well now if we are refusing to provide the black man with the proper physical food when we know food is less sustains life then what else are we keeping from him
