    HERE WE GO AGAIN...

    Here we go again with another documentary about how hard black men have it when in reality they are the main ones causing strife and discord within their own communities.. They off each other left and right and enact violence against black women and black lgbtq...Its so bad that them offing black women was deemed a health crisis by the CDC. If you don't believe me look it up!!.. and my God have you seen those disgusting foul videos on YouTube they make about black women?!? Kevin Samuels, Tommy Sotomayor , Fresh & Fit just to name a few ... Now THAT is something that needs to be discussed.

    Gaslighting to say the least

    This documentary should have came out 10 years ago where fake pro Blackness was accepted. Not now where many people are waking up. By people I mean Black women.

    With the femicide rates at an all time high it is very insensitive to put out a documentary like this that paints the collective of Black men as victims when they are perpetrators. Most of the statistics in real life dont back up this documentary. Whats "profiled" on them is actually what they do. They are profiling themselves at this point. Dont get me wrong I have great Black men in my life, but I'm not naive enough to think that the whole collective is great. These people are harmimg Black women and Black children and ransacking the Black community including other Black men. Its a no for me.

    What planet is Tina Knowles living on ?!

    I wish I could give this mockumentary a 0. Black men are running rampant killing black women and girls every 5 hours. They're not building, providing or doing anything that contributes to society. They continue to terrorize their own communities, then cry that they're victims. We are no longer giving a pass to community terrorist. We're calling them out.

    We are not our grandmother's! The reckoning is here.

    Misleading, Misinforming, and Disgusting

    Blk males are only 6% of the U. S. population , YET they commit 77% of the crime. Blk males murder blk women every 5.5. Hours and this doesn't even include the global numbers. Blk males are not victims, they are the victimizers. They love to blame everything on D'Wight Man but that's just a manipulation tactic they like to use. Long story short, this documentary is deceitful and disgusting.

    These men aren't profiled!

    The stories of the black women and girls these men terrorize constantly go ignored! We are a minority group in this country yet have the highest rates of domestic violence, sx assault, and murder primarily at the hands of these men. Statistics are not lying and their victims aren't lying. Tina Knowles refuses to even live in a black community for a reason. Why doesn't she move to Buckhead, Atlanta where homicide rates are up 60% since last year? Go for a stroll in Chicago after dark to the sweet tunes of gun shots and sirens with no security while on Instagram live and prove to us how "safe" these men are. Black women and baby girls are killed EVERY 5.5 hours, WE ARE NOT SAFE! Protect black women!
