NBC's African American Women: Where They Stand Night #1 - Did you see it. ( VIDEO INCLUDED)

Once again MSM is trying to convince the winners that they are losers. Now in every other part of the world BILLIONS of humanitarian dollars are expended to educate women and it is considered a success when it happens, but ONLY in AMERICA can black woman getting an education be presented as a tragedy or be couched in terms of what Black men aren't doing.

Well as promised, NBC Nightly News began a five part series that was supposed to be about African American women, but ended up, as usual, being all about African American men. How the heck did that happen. All these wonderful stats about Black women were immediately juxtaposed by some negative statistics about Black men. they should have called the series "African American Men: Where They Stand". Now if Black men outnumbered Black women in college, would Brian Williams have referred to the phenomenon as an achievement gap?

This piece didn't say anything I didn't already know. SO MUCH FOR Investigative Reporting. Reading a couple of Back issues of Essence magazine does not qualify as research. BOOO Double BOOO! GO tell Brian Williams what you thought over at the Nightly News Blog.

64% of Black college students are Black women. Heard that before

The number of Black women businesses increased by %75 in the last five years while only 29% for Black men. NEWSFLASH maybe the number is going up slower for Black men because Black women are playing catch up.

Now this stat is central to the entire point of this blog and our slogan "Defund the War on Black Women": of the $850 BILLION Black folks control in this country, 62% is controlled by Black women. So somebody explain to me why we are begging anybody for anything? Tell me why we couldn't basically tell corporate America to stop subsidizing our degradation and have them act on it.

I don't have anything else to say about it other than I want that 30 minutes of my life BACK. Professor Tracey laid out a very through analysis in her post Be Revolutionary Not Reactionary.

The video that they have on MSNBC is much more in depth than the Nightly News piece.
