We have the men against the women and vice versa. Yes, this do causes the break up of the family and it has some Deep consequences that affects kids.
Kids that grow up without fathers tend to rebel and have low self esteem. Could this be a reason why we have so many kids killing kids? How about the kids that is selling drugs or... (continue reading)
We are about to enter a Historic election. First, there is the Old man who don't have a clue on what is happening not only in this world but THIS nation. His first thought on the war in Iraq was that we Must stay. For What? This war was started on a LIE and he feels that our pride is at stake. How could our pride be at stake for a Mistake? There were NO weapons of mass destruction. Bin Ladin didn't have any of his boys there. As a matter of fact, he wasn't even liked there. Now they... (continue reading)
One of the hardest thing to understand is relationships. Most of us wants one, but don't really understand it. We choose to be in one for different reasons. Sometimes, the reason can cause us more harm than happiness. We have to be careful and Honest when getting in a relationship not only to that person, but to ourselves.
Conviency seems to be the most likely reason for a person to get in a relationship. There are the ones that are tired of being alone. This is natural.... (continue reading)
Good Black Men
Good Black Men are indeed all around us. We pass them on the streets, in the
malls, and at work. Most we can't see because we don't know what a good man
really looks like. He usually isn't flashy enough or rich enough to turn our
heads. He might not wear a suit or push a Lexus. He might not have a body
like Tyson with a Denzel face. But, as you mature, you realize it's better
to find someone who's got your back rather than someone who turns your head.
A good man doesn't agree wholeheartedly with everything you say. He doesn't
just tell you what you want to hear and do the opposite. He doesn't d eclare
how sensitive, sweet, caring, sincere, etc. he is (he won't have to because
it shows). He has his own opinions and yours may clash, but he doesn't have
to degrade you to prove he's right. He even admits at times to being wrong,
especially if you are willing to do the same.
A good man is not going to meet every item on your checklist. He is human
with frailties and faults mixed in with all of his wonderful, strong
attributes. He needs your love and respect. He needs to feel that you don't
live to catch him doing something wrong so you can declare, "Aha! I knew you
were a dog!"
A good man isn't insecure about his woman having great achievements. In
fact, he is her number one supporter and becomes disappointed with her when
she begins to lose herself, especially for the sake of not hurting his
feelings, or only wanting to make him happy. His happiness comes with seeing
her excel in her dreams and accomplishing her go als. For as she excels and
is exalted, a good woman will bring her good man right along with her.
A good man doesn't necessarily give you a huge birthday or Valentine's gift.
He shows his love in the ways that are comfortable to him. Don't judge him
by TV standards. No one is really living a fairy tale. You'll miss out on
your own fairy tale by buying into the myth that our men are no good. It's
just not true.
A good black man is a man of his word. He says what he means and means what
he says. His word is his bond. He never leaves you wondering if he is going
to call or show up - he is dependable. A good black man has a love and a
heart for God (Jesus). As his relationship and love with and for God grows
so will his relationship and love with and for you grow... Our beautiful
black men we salute you, appreciate you and thank you for who you are and
all you've done.
Pass this along to some of the Good Black Men you know and a few women that
need to read it ... So that they can recognize a good black man.
