    The Assignment Was Misunderstood

    Tina Knowles had some nerve to think she can speak on the behalf of everyday black women and their experiences with black men. Nothing has been debunked in this docu-series. If this mockumentary is meant to speak on the truth then the black community would exude excellence and prosperity!

    This is the real truth!

    "Black Men are dangerous" Look at the IVP and femcide rates amongst black women in the community.

    "Black Men are absent Fathers" Look at the single mother rate of the black women compared to their counterparts.

    "Black Men Devalue Black Women" Rap Music Industry enough said.

    "Black Men Don't Cry" They are definitely crying with this mockumentary. The tide is shifting, black women are waking up and seeing the BS rhetoric that's being spewed about these Black Kangs.

    Stop trying to gaslight black women collective by promoting the extreme minority of black men who love and respect their families and communities. They do not represent the collective of all black men.

    A. Smith, Tina Knowles, OWN are out of touch with reality and FACTS.

    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!

    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.

    This docu-series is a slap in the face to black women

    Here's a few examples to debunk these myths in this docu-series that no one told Tina to make. She got a lot of nerve I'll tell you that.

    Black men ARE dangerous. Every 5 1/2 hours a black woman is killed by a black man. They are killing pregnant black women at a high rate. BLM got exactly what they wanted because these violent men are now a protected class. Now the police have backed off of black men and they are wreaking havoc in the community and black women are now REALLY unprotected. They can now beat and kill black women in peace.

    Black men are absentee fathers to ALL races of women. They leave Black women, White women, White Hispanic Women and White Asian Women single mothers. They don't value fatherhood and they don't care about their children. Just look at the statictics and everyone already knows they are absentee fathers.

    Black men devalue Black women and they will tell you and show you 24/7 how much they hate and devalue black women. Black men value white women (including all ethnicities of white women) and put them on a pedistal. They don't respect black women, they don't marry black women, they don't protect black women and they don't love black women. They have devalued black women to where they refer to us as "females" not women. Another example is the black manosphere & Kevin Samuels and his followers.

    Black men cry for hours upon hours on their YouTube struggle channels like victims. Everywhere black men go they cry and they will whine about anything and everything and take no accountability whatsoever. I have never seen any race of men cry an endless fountain of tears like black men do.

    BLACK MEN NEED TO BE PROFILED!!

    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.
