check the ratio of black single mums to white single mums. It is easier for a black man to be a deadbeat parent than for a black woman to be a deadbeat mum. The criticism is harsher for the woman. Again my point is in relation to the workplace, even in africa men are more likely to be given a job based on their intellect than women. As a woman you prolly need to give a lot more than your intellect to get a job, of course it can also be argued that women can use this to their advantage but there is only so much that can get you. In the home front, black women do give a lot more than their white counterparts given that i has been imbibed in their upbringing. In terms of dating, black men would talk down on black women but would worship another woman of a different race with similar characteristics, how many white men or men of other races really go for black women in comparison to women of other races. At the end of the day i have lived with and still have a lot of black men that are family and friends and it is the same theme; The black male experience is not nearly as bad as that of the black woman.

All of the things you mentioned, you kept using "also" meaning you acknowledge that black men face these things. So, by statistics, isn't it clear that black men face these things more? How many black women have been killed by the cops compared to black men? Tell me! And what in the world do you mean by this, "As black fathers get killed, get imprisoned or abscond, black women have to pick up the pieces and take on the role of both parents.?" Are you expecting a white woman to do the job for her or you expect another black man to do the job? So, if a black mother dies, doesn't the black man pick up the pieces and play the role of both parents? So, black men don't contribute to the finances of the homefront and are not expected to still do the physical labor jobs in the house? Or are you saying white women don't contribute to the finances of the homefront and don't do chores? How does this victimize only black women? And who told you black women are the least desirable in dating? Are you following those OkCupid research that only use a very limited, skewed online sample? Have you even thought about this: who listens to the cry of the black man? So, because black men cry less since they know no one listens to them, you think they suffer any less than black women?

Black women also get killed by the cops, black women also get arrested by cops. As black fathers get killed, get imprisoned or abscond, black women have to pick up the pieces and take on the role of both parents. Black women are the least desirable when it comes to dating, black women also face racism, Black women contribute their finances to the home front and are still expected to take care of the bulk of the house chores. When do black women get a break really?

yemiosinbajo:

Everyone would claim that they have it the hardest. Remember that men generally would not come out to complain like women do because society expects the man to be "strong." Despite how much you see it in the new the number of black men being shot by the cops, the number of black men being jailed, how the black man is represented by the media to be "thuggish", how western laws favor women more, leaving the black man at the bottom of the food chain, you still think that black women have it harder than black men. Ever heard a white person call the cops on a black woman? It's always on a black man. Walk alone in a white neighborhood at 11pm as a black woman, then do so as a black man and let's see who gets the worse treatment.

Well it wasn't clearly spelt out in your earlier question. Of course black women have it harder than black men even in the western world. whatever a struggle a black man experiences due to his skin color, a black woman has to face twice firstly for being black and then a woman.

yemiosinbajo:


Well, I'm talking about blacks in the western world not Africa. We already know Africa can be patriarchal

yes, the expectations laid on the female gender particularly in Africa, makes it harder for women in the workplace , the home front and even from fellow women. This is a very touchy topic though so i will leave it at this.

yemiosinbajo:

So you think black women have it harder than black men?

Number 6 is a sensitive one for me. Even as a woman in nigeria, you have to work twice as hard to prove yourself in the workplace and at home. Black women face the biggest hurdles in the workplace, in the dating scene and in the family. Their tenacity is mislabelled and their femininity questioned.
Black women face the harshest criticism overall yet we manage to thrive!

Thanks, thats good to know.

Please can someone suggest how to go about drivers license? I didn't renew my Nigerian license before landing and getting the G1 looks like a long option.
Is it possible that my Nigerian license can be renewed without me being physically present?
