The article discusses a TikTok user known as @MelaninWisdom who went viral for her commentary on Black women’s understanding of their societal roles. She asserts that women from other racial backgrounds recognize their roles as wives and mothers, supporting their husbands and managing their households. In contrast, she believes that Black women have been misled by external influences, such as feminism and certain societal systems, leading them away from these traditional roles. She urges Black women to “wake up” to these perceived deceptions and embrace their roles as wives, mothers, and homemakers.
“Asian woman understand that, Arab woman understand that, the East Indian woman understand that… It’s only the so-called Black woman that does not understand why she was created. It is simple. You was literally created to be a wife, to be a mother, to be a helpmate to your husband. To love him, to love your children, to guide the house and shine in your role. That’s simple.
Everything outside of that, you have been deceived and indoctrinated by the so-called white man — yo’ daddy — who also gave you feminism and who also gave you Planned Parenthood to continue to destroy, you, your seed and to tear down the Black family. Y’all better wake up.”
The TikToker’s statements have sparked discussions about gender roles, cultural expectations, and the impact of societal influences on personal identities within the Black community.
