Damson Idris Calls Out Black Men's Treatment of Black Women in Powerful Message: ‘You Aren’t Men To Us’
Damson Idris has grown frustrated with the treatment of Black women.
Late Monday night (Dec 11), in a message directed at Black men, the “Snowfall” star highlighted his observations, stating, “I SEE SO MUCH UNPROVOKED HATRED TOWARDS BLACK WOMEN TODAY BY PREDOMINANTLY GROWN BLACK MEN. ESPECIALLY TOWARDS OUR YOUNG STARS THAT ARE JUST TRYING TO DO THEIR THING.”
He continued, “THE COMPULSION TO HUMBLE THESE WOMEN PERHAPS MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE MORE OF A MAN I PROMISE YOU, YOU AREN’T MEN TO US.” The Nigerian-British star actor cautioned, “A NEW YEAR IS APPROACHING. GROW UP.”
While it's uncertain what prompted this message, it follows a surge in negative criticism towards Black women, especially female artists, on the internet.
Last month, openly gay rapper Saucy Santana and controversial internet personality DJ Akademiks clashed online over Akademiks' disparaging remarks about City Girls during a livestream.
Akademiks criticized the Miami rap duo, calling for accountability and referring to them as "makeshift, chameleon, non-talented, lazy, non-passionate people."
Santana, who started as a makeup artist for Yung Miami and JT, defended them, leading to an intense online spat where threats were exchanged, including Santana warning Akademiks that he would beat him up and then have gay sex with him.
