There is a new revolution affront. Black women are finally
moving beyond their boundaries and dating out. They are finally abandoning the
notion that the black woman has to hold the entire burden of the black
community and are searching for happiness. However their reasons for the change
leaves questions. Of course we know that currently, the American black man
makes no apologies for disliking black women. They actually boast as to why
they date out. And black women have finally retorted, exclaiming that they
could care less. However questions abound. Why did these black men became black
women haters in the first place? Where does this notion come from and who is to
blame??? Now I know after I state how I feel about this I will get a lot of
flack. But one of the few problems black women have is receiving new info. Not
all, but some. So before you get all
heated hear me out ok?
72% of black women are single, meaning that most of these
women are raising children. A mans first example of a woman Is through their
mother. What we fail to admit or realize is black men are some of the most
sensitive men in country. These are the same men that will curse you out for
the old and the new if you do not acknowledge their attentions. So with that
being said, If the first woman breaks their heart, being their mother, they are
hurt for life. Angry in fact. Pile on the fact that black men know they are not
considered masculine as their white counterparts, they start to cower, point
fingers and instead of pulling themselves up by the bootstraps, they put all
the blame on black women. And to some extent, it’s their fault. Black women
coddle black men a great deal. I have seen them yell and scream at the female
children and hardly ever show love to them. But they let the male child do what
he wants. Black women are forced to be strong because they are raised that way.
Its hardly ever common to see a black woman give kisses and hugs to her
children, especially her female children. If I could get a penny for every time
I heard a black woman yell at her kids. I question as to why they had kids in
the first place. Anyways. This hate for black women is stemming from the lack
of parenting of black men’s mothers. I know of two black men who are loving,
hardworking black men. Married to black women. Yes! And the common denominator
is that they hold total respect for their mothers. When I asked them as to why
they are against the norm, to sum it up, they said that their mothers were on
them to be the best, they gave them love and most interestingly told them of their
history as a black person. My friend said "my mother would kiss me on my cheek and
told me she loved me, I would say yuck! But inside I was happy to be loved” the other said. “when I was wilding out in the
streets, my mother showed me graphic pictures of black men hung and beaten. She
then told me of the story of Rosewood and people like Phillip A. Randolph and Harriet
Tubman. She told me. All that we came through, and fought through, are their
deaths and struggles in vain? When you disgrace yourself, you are disgracing
our legacy.” He vowed to never be a bad boy again and is now in a lucrative job
with a lovely black wife.
I’m not telling you to feel sorry for the black men that constantly
bash black women. They are a lost cause. But you do have a HEAVY responsibility
to raise the next generation of black men to love themselves and black women
so the next generation will not have the
problem we have had. Now some of you hate black men so much. You want to raise
your daughters to date out as well. That is immature and silly. I have dated IR
my entire life, the early 90’s when black women didn’t even give it a thought. I
had my period where I wrote off black men as well. But after I started to encounter black men that were
actually good men and contributed to society. I had to think that to cut a
segment off is to cut off opportunity. If I was single. I would have my options
open giving me more possibilities to be with a outstanding man. Now, a black
man like this hardly exists. I’m not going to lie. But they do. You just have
to be savvy enough to tell. Keep your options open, by the way. The white
man is not the holy grail to happiness.
(I will dedicate a post to this) there are plenty of men of all nationalities
and cultures that can offer you the love you need. But in order for the next
generation to have more choices its up to you. Raise the next generation of
black men to be strong, proud and loving to black women. Our future generation
will thank you for it!!
So if the black man grows up angry and hostile towards black women it is his mothers failure completely? he has no responsibility for his actions. Uh am I missing something in the scenario?? Where are the FATHERS in this discussion?? Boys should be learning by example how to love and respect women by how their fathers treat their mother and as a second line of defense if the father is dead, deployed or out of the picture do to circumstances other than irresponsible reproduction, the mother serves as the example.
ReplyDeleteIf women are going to be held fully accountable (which they should not be) then how about holding women accountable to stop picking losers to reproduce with in the first place?? The best example black women can leave for the sake of their sons and the women who will have to deal with these men as adults is to pick men of quality and character to reproduce with preferably with marriage and a stable home in place.
It is not immature for a black woman to encourage her daughter to expand her dating options if the black men around her are not steeping up to the plate nor is it her responsibility to try to hold out to find the needle in the haystack good black man whose mother told him about the underground railroad. I am aquainted with an african women who shared with me that a large number of african women are marrying out because they are treated well by their husbands where at home in many african communites they are treated like married slaves (sounds like here in america without the marriage certificate) and their families support these unions and encourage their daughters to date out and live well and this is the mothaland (hotep and all that jazz). You say marrying a white man is not a black woman's salvation? neither is marrying a black man. God is her salvation but humanly speaking the man who marries, loves and protects her is the one of value and melanin has nothing to do with it.
In regards to the sons, I reiterate, black women need to choose quality men to reproduce with and stop picking bums. Even in the animal kingdom the female of the species uses discretion when selecting a mate. Why? genetic survival. She wants good stock to ensure their offspring survives.Why can't we human females do the same? but I digress.
First off. I really think you are getting the message of this post wrong entirely. You are getting emotional and not absorbing. I’m not saying you should stay with only black men. My boyfriend is a german/dutch man, I have been dating out my entire life. When it wasn’t in vogue. I hope you have read past posts. What I’m saying is that black women have been single mothers, meaning they have been raising children without men at least for the last 20 years. The black men of today? The ones that have pure hatred of black women are a product of that. It’s not the point that black men have left. They are gone. The point is that within this 20 year period. It has been black women and black women only raising these black men, so something in rearing them has been lacking. Sorry, they have to take responsibility. The first mistake is having children out of wedlock and picking mates that are not educated. But if I delved into that, it would be a novel-long post. Did you read the part where I stated I was glad bw were dating out? Did you read the part where I stated that the black women who parent correctly reared well adjusted children? The entire solvent to our problems is not dating out. Its about being a well adjusted person. In the end WE and only we are responsible for the future children. We are raising them. Ever child references his mother. Her behavior towards her kids molds them for life.
ReplyDeleteI never said that a bw should marry a bm. Whats a hoetep?? I’m saying that our lack in interaction in a correct way has failed us. So you date a white men. Then years later there will be tons of white men living off black women. Not working and impregnating bw and leaving. It’s happening now!!! our attitudes, what we will accept, what we allow will follow us. If we implant these same values, or lack thereof in our children, There will be another of generation of bm that will hate us and because they are faltering terribly, kills us because of our decision. I’m saying raise a well adjusted bm so we do not have to deal with the tommysontomayors of today. Please date out, but as I stated with the post on the 6 deadly sins of black women, you have a clean slate to work with now. don’t fuck it up.
