Vybz Kartel has a message for black women everywhere.
The Dancehall superstar has always been vocal on social issues but his latest comments concern women’s rights.
The deejay took to Instagram recently to post a lengthy message about women’s rights and how it applies to black history.
The photo the deejay posted read: “From wehday… me notice black women taking up this women’s rights bullsht. So black women let me ask you a question…. what does the black man own that he can use to systematically oppress you? Absolutely nothing! So chill the f*k out and come let’s build the black family TOGETHER cause round here we EQUALS!”
The deejay went on to discuss what he believes is a brainwashed perception of what women’s right is.
In a since-deleted post, the deejay explained how we as black people have been brainwashed.
“White women had to fight for the right to vote, (black men could even vote before white women) the right to wear pants (it wasn’t allowed in the u.s. senate till 1993!) They couldnt serve on jurys, couldnt get a credit card in their own name till around 1974! Before that Becky needed her husband’s signature to get one..plus there are tons of other things that white women had to fight for but,” he declared before concluding “Black men have no systematic power to hold our women down even if we wanted to!.. WHICH WE DONT.”
According to Vybz Kartel, we are adopting an approach that was never a part of our culture and not designed for us.
“Africa has never practiced gender superiority at any point in HER history so careful what the media brainwashes you to believe,” Kartel wrote. “After all, they already f**ked us with slavery, jim crow, the civil rights bill (which was not a humanitarian clause but a COMMERCE CLAUSE), affirmative action and now multi culturalism. For me its #FamilyFirst so mi fly or sink with mi woman.”
