Melanin Male Worship

Melanin male worship is a learned behavior that was taught to melanated girls and women at young ages by their peers, who came from older generations, to uplift, protect, support, and defend melanated men in their communities at any cost, going so far as to be the sacrificial lambs for these men who have a history of mental abuse, sexual violence, domestic violence, and femicide. While melanated women do backflips and defend them publicly, these same men pay them dust in return as women in their communities make safe spaces for melanin men, constantly placing these men on pedestals for their imagery when they haven't displayed that same energy in return for defending these men who never cared to defend home first. melanated women repeatedly going out of their way to make these men see the value they don't see in themselves, not holding melanin men accountable for their actions, blaming Caucasian men for their shortcomings, and fighting with women from other cultures that melanin men bring into their own communities, with ill intentions being used against melanated women. Melanin men are placed in unpredictable positions of leadership; they don't build up their communities from the inside out; they aren't career-driven; these men are scared that melanated women are requiring better partners of means from different cultures than our own; when we choose better, we do better.
