Arguing, eye-rolls, name-calling, and more goes on in a lot of black circles personally and professionally because some African Americans are simply tired of one another. The black man says, "I can't talk to black women..." The black woman says, "I can't find a good black man." These are personal issues, but they don't pertain to everyone. So please be advised not to put "all" or "most" in your speech when communicating with non-blacks about African American issues especially when the mainstream statistics don't apply to your community.
Many African American men and women are married, take care of families, pay bills, and get along with one another contrary to popular belief. Of course, couples have challenges like any other ethnicity and at times have their share of money, parenting, and family blues, but that's life. On the other hand, there are days where families are content and live comfortably. Oftentimes, the ones who complain the loudest about what a black woman or man is or isn't doing from political associations to home life is deeply disturbed. Stable mental health doesn't always apply to some of these people who have dived deep into everything that is wrong with the African American populace and forgot about or chose to ignore what is right. They are often in denial, hide their pain, minimize their childhood experiences, and personal feelings when it comes to the ever-popular question of "Why are you acting like this--making broad generalizations about our people? Acting like a fool in front of the masses who you know don't care for black folks?" They digress, attack, or become highly emotional. Some blacks have become experts in what is unrighteous, untrue, unstable, and unnecessary related to black people that they are no longer helping, but aiding the white empowerment agendas and others to systematically continue to keep black people around the world (not just in America) at their feet.

Spiritual African Americans see the enemy at work. Around this time of year, (Halloween, "fall" season) while many blacks are asleep literally and figuratively, those who are skilled in raising all sorts of hell are chanting in circles, making sacrifices, participating in occult sex, and doing any number of things to put demonic spirits to work. (Familiarize yourself with the way the puppets communicate with their masters,
here.) Not only do elitists work in boardrooms, but they also work in their unholy temples to declare spiritual warfare on the "bottom-feeders, ignorant, sheeple, ninjas..." and other code names that merely include and/or refer to blacks in those groups. (Check out some researchers black and white that died for talking too much, view
here.)
Many choose to debate issues we are already quite familiar with and most often do not directly impact us. A gentleman I heard online talked about the black church being dead adding that black women aided in its destruction, another gets paid to talk badly about black women and others daily, and men I personally know, met and read about have spent much of their lives dating primarily white women. Meanwhile, I have noticed more and more mainstream shows where black women talk badly about black men and who have shown interest in white men. Who is financing all these mainstream media scripts, photographs, magazine spreads, and more? Of course not Reggie down the street or Black ABC group? The support is provided by non-blacks who could care less that black people steal, cheat, lie, bad-mouth, and kill one another spiritually, mentally and physically. Positive, soulful music about love, respect and more (quality lyrics) are practically extinct. It is all considered "good" entertainment when junk is heavily promoted in the media.
So if one continues to watch shows that depict blacks in a negative light, attend events that degrade black people, listen to meaningless music that lower the spirit, connect with male or female hating groups, and do other similar things, then it isn't any wonder that the black woman or man has nothing to bring to a relationship, but junk.
What one puts in his or her heart and mind on a daily basis and the kind of people, places and things that he or she surrounds his or herself with will affect one's life and children and grandchildren. Choose wisely what permeates your eyes and ears, guard your heart, and recognize the mental, physical, social, and spiritual conditioning being used to keep you fighting your own people.
