#Blackpowerisforblackmen now, guys.
Can't say I didn't see this one coming, though. Black women don't like black men, so it was only a matter of time before we started seeing critiques of black males worked into this whole debate.
This is my exact experience in my
Critical Race Theory class I took in law school.
That Jamilah Lemieux is one piece of work. Check this tweet:

#blackpowerisforblackmen because you can be the most righteous Black man ever and not have a single sister in your dating history. Not one.
This sort of tweet would generally get called homophobic, but it highlights that it is just black women angry they cannot get the black men they so desire, so they resort to angry, hateful approaches to life aimed at forcing themselves down black men's throats. Not just that, but society's throat.
If there is any one thing black people can be angry about with white people was gifting them narcissism. This is on full display here, as they cannot conceive of an issue that is worth talking about that doesn't at least tangentially involve them.
Black on black violence? How dare you not about sexual violence against women!!! UGH MISOGYNY!! TALK ABOUT ME!!!!!!
Only in black women's self-absorbed mindset can the sex routinely subject to violence, murder, robbery, immediate suspicion from police, lagging far behind in degrees of any kind, lagging behind in gainful employment and overwhelming incarcerated is the privileged sex. This issue is very delicate because it not only is it obviously not true but it undermines the concept of male privilege in general and exposes women for their rank obsession with their sexuality. If we start talking about how black men, as black men, are worse off then black women, then it opens the gate to talking about white men and white women. Suicides, the growing degree gap, the growing employment gap - all that comes in and does not make women feel good for multiple reasons.
First, is they sense the sexual marketplace is getting scrubbed of settling material. Women do fear not getting married to an alpha, but the fear of not being able to settle is even more scary because it means she will have spend the rest of her very long life alone. Imagine going from 40 to 85 without so much as a sexual encounter, kiss or just general companionship.
Second, is the destruction of their victim complexes. Women have very, very strong entrenched prejudices against men and if they are benefiting in ways that they have resented men for, then they greatly fear being judged by their own standards. Simply put, women do not want to be judged by the standards they lay out for men because they know they game in such a way that causes most men to fail.
As far as society, black women are the lowest of narcissists, generally. They don't have the ability to truly change in order to succeed socially. They don't pick up "How To Win Friends And Influence People" and apply the sage advice to better their personal charisma. As you have pointed out, Athlone, women expect men to be effortlessly charismatic and think that supreme levels of charisma and competence just happen. Since they expect that of men, they falsely apply that to their own life. They think they if they just show up, they will showered with praise and attention, just like they slather on an alpha. Of course, in their head, they are universally loved and worshiped. In reality, they are not. Odds are, most people are just indifferent towards them, not giving a damn about them.
As you already know, if narcissists can't get worship, then they seek hate. They behave in childish ways in order to garner negative attention, which fuels their ego and victim complex. They scowl in the streets and tweet about men expect them to smile and that is part of patriarchy. Desiring people to be happy isn't sexist, it is just the fact people generally like pleasant people. They don't understand that other people have different needs and outlooks that don't include them. Their desire to dictate other's actions and feelings is incredibly unhealthy, but only gets worse if people comply. That is why feminists loathe male feminists, as they comply but find them personally and sexually repugnant. I think Rollo coined the term, but the idea of combat dating is involved here.
If you want to engage these women, you have to have a narcissistic complex of your own as she will ruthlessly test your frame and the power balances between you two. It is never healthy and only draining, which is why one of the tweets complains about black male celebrities (wait, no complaints about the black male GM of the local Blockbuster?!) marry out at a 50% rate. Black men note this rank self-absorption is incredibly emotionally draining, so they marry women with less issues. Black women frame it as misogyny and submission, as many tweets say as much. What they fail to realize is who they chose to be is the problem. Not everybody wants to work themselves into an early grave with serious psychological issues that require great amounts of mental energy to maintain. All that residual emotional energy that is never used (love, happiness, all that) is forced out through anger, abuse and a permanent attitude that they claim is empowering. No, it is oppressive because it is oppressing your emotions.
As for society, I know that I tend to avoid black women like these tweeters. In my CRT class, there was one black women just like this. Constantly angry but never admitting it, always thinking everybody is judging her as a woman and black, when in reality, nobody is paying attention to her - which is the ultimate offense to her. All the minority men were dating white women, which was a huge issue in the class. We had to step around it for the black women, as they were all incredibly mad. We had to read a hateful article about how pathetic black men are for marrying the oppressor and how terrible black women had it with no romantic prospects (I knew better than to point out the racism presented).
Society does not know how to deal with these women effectively, as they are all ticking time bombs of insanity. No matter what you do, you are pissing them off. Which presents the best approach - ignore them. They pass by you in the street, screaming at you - ignore them. Don't worry, they won't be lonely, they are supremely in love with themselves.
