Thank you for reading and responding, Sonia! Yes, we have to unapologetically uplift ourselves and move forward. I am happy to report that some Black men have posted videos on Tik Tok and IG of how they feel black women should not support everyone- they agree with our sentiments. Not many, but some. The bottom line is, if you ain't "ridin' for me I can't ride for you. The men in my life whom I care about are my husband and nephews., and that's because they don't have the derelict vibes I see everywhere else---so far.

Thanks for responding!
