    Is what she said untrue though?

    I don't know. I am not a woman. But it's possible that black men are more aggressive. A study could settle the matter.

    What we shouldn't do though is condemn her for saying that. It may be her experience, and indeed it may be true more generally speaking. It has not been ordained black men and white men and Hispanic men and Asian men must do everything equally.

    ? I hate this sheriff Clarke ass ?

    YOU ? idiot. I am the furthest thing from Clarke if you haven't noticed.

    Dumb ? ass.

    black men aint afraid to go after what we want.

    not being a sucka an trynna get ass is not harassment
    ..it's call being the object of someone's desire

    No no no according to feminist just being attracted to a female is sexual harrassment. I can't deal with these stupid broads, can't even shoot at a chick on the street anymore cause of ? like this.
    Ironically, in the same breathe The same ugly ass feminist in Lenas dunam, w/e her name is. caught midlife crisis feelings, when Odell paid her ugly as no mind...

    You ? idiots. The world is not how you want it to be. It just is how it is.

    There is no reason why black men might not do this more often than white men. Black men are not the same as white men. Or Asian men.

    And I am not even saying that she is definitely right. I am just saying that what she said can't be dismissed as racist right off the bat.

    I like... don't get what she's saying with that tweet. Like I don't understand. Her stand-up is seriously terrible, but then again women ain't funny.

    Can one of the geniuses who flagged this explain, clearly, how it is coonish?

    I'm just about to step out, but I'll stay a bit to hear your explanation.

    I do believe a lot of men can be alil too aggressive and at times disrespectful when they approach/ interact with women...but to suggest Blk men are the main perpetrators ...can't cosign that at all

    Not surprised though she would post that

    She posted a joke that calls Hispanic men rapists some time back too

    http://www.colorlines.com/articles/amy-schumer-‘taking-responsibility’-racist-joke


    And was also accused of exploiting the bodies of blk women on her show and making fun of "black women names"

    Smdh @ her being one of the faces of modern day white feminism

    What does "main perpetrators" even mean? That's unclear and not obviously equivalent to what she said.

    She appeared to say that, statistically, black men holler at her more often than white men.

    And I am not even saying that she is definitely right. I am just saying that what she said can't be dismissed as racist right off the bat.

    Let me add this to this.

    Could it be that black culture is more permissive than white culture with respect to men hollering at women on the street -- is it less an issue in black culture than white culture?

    It's possible; certainly, black and white culture are not the same.

    Even if that is true, that doesn't necessarily mean that black men would be more likely to holler at women outside the culture (i.e. non-black women) than other men. They are, after all, not part of the culture.

    Then again, it may be that the more permissiveness of the culture seeps out, and black men are more likely to holler at women in general as opposed to just black women.

    I am not saying this is necessarily true. I am saying this one reason why it may be true that black men holler more than white men, if it is true.

    To insist, dogmatically, that black men could not possibly do this more than white men is just not defensible.

    This ? is correct. In many Afro-diasporic and African cultures, "hollering" is much more accepted

    Of course many white women are so racist and self centered that they think any man especially black that as much as looks at her is trying to "sexual harrase" her


    However saltines do it too; and Latin men are definitely the worst but the media paints it as only a black thing (see the street harassment video where they edited out the white men)

    Bruh...

    It really started with this tweet:

    Lena Dunham, Amy Schumer, et. al refuse to see that misogyny among men of color, while hideously prevalent, is no more so than among white men


    That's when she retorted with the question asking about who is usually the culprit of street harassment:

    “How would you know? Statistically, who is hollerin’ at you in the street more pa?”


    You want to give her the benefit of the doubt or not read into her tweet too deeply, fine ...do you

    Considering her history, I choose not to

    A lot of blame to go around...And I believe this rift between Blk men and women is largely over exaggerated...

    But come on now

    So there isn't a loud contingent of Blk men who go around proclaiming white women make better partners than blk women????.... perpetuating racist stereotype that blk women are agrumentative and obnoxious

    The most ignorant of any group are always the loudest that don't mean they represent the majority opinion. Don't fall for the ?

    Its not over exaggerated its real, and growing. Ive learned its concentrated in the 18-27 age group demographic.
    Blk feminist women aren't bluffing when it comes to their hate for blk men.
    Theyre advocating aborting blk male babies.
    Cosigning the killing off unarmed blk men.
    And are even ? on Malcom X, Medgar Evars , and MLK calling them chauvinist, and misogynoirs....
    Really?

    And you are right, the average blk woman is not argumentative, combative, or obnoxious... they're only that, when it comes to blk men.
