BLACK WOMEN SAY THERE ARE NO GOOD MEN... BUT YUNG MIAMI JUST EXPOSED THE REAL PROBLEM

Black women keep screaming, “There are no good Black men!”

But then a song like Yung Miami’s “Spend Dat” comes out and suddenly the culture tells the truth about the type of Black man it actually celebrates.

The scammer. The street dude. The man with questionable money. The man flashing cash, buying bags, paying bills, and spending recklessly on women.

THAT man becomes desirable.

Meanwhile, the hardworking Black man with a regular job is called broke. The responsible man building his future is boring. The man trying to save money doesn't have enough motion. The emotionally available man gets called soft. The good man gets overlooked because he doesn't have enough followers, enough jewelry, enough designer clothes, or enough money to fund a lifestyle he can't afford.

But when the scammer goes to jail, the street dude cheats, the toxic relationship falls apart, or the money disappears, suddenly the conversation becomes...

“WHERE ARE ALL THE GOOD BLACK MEN?”

Maybe you ignored them.

On this episode of the Black Men's Mental Health Podcast, Casanova Williams dives into Yung Miami's controversial record and the bigger cultural problem nobody wants to address: We complain about negative Black men while making negative Black men the most desirable men in our culture.

Let's stop pretending music has absolutely no influence. We can't scream that representation matters when it's positive, then suddenly claim “it's just entertainment” when the message is destructive.

Which one is it?

For decades, parts of Black culture have glorified drug dealers, scammers, street violence, fast money, and toxic relationships. Now we act confused about why young Black men believe those are the fastest ways to gain money, attention, respect, and women.
