it's just frustrating when i see alot of black women act the way they act (in public at that!). when i made my original comments in this thread, some of the negative comments i recieved were exactly what i expected.....shallow & misunderstood (i'm not referring to your comments in any way, of course). i just get tired of seeing sooooooo many sistas that have a gift to potentially do anything they want in their lives, but can't because of their ways. here's a perfect example.....i have a coworker i work with here in the baltimore city public school system (BCPSS), and the woman is so outstanding at what she does, she could damn well run her own school if she could, but because of her trashy attitude, she'll never get there. again, it's an ongoing saga that i often see in many sistas. i'll just say this....i believe black women are the most beautiful creatures on the face of the earth, but they're also the least taken. now, if that doesn't draw a red flag, nothing will. i asked one of my friends "why do you choose not to date black women?" just to see what response i would get. he said "i'll give you three words........PEACE OF MIND". |
Welp, congratulations to those Black men who don't want Black women. Somewhere there's a pony with rainbows shooting out of its ass that cares.

This subject is as tired as they come!
A brother posted this on my college's alumni website before and the answer is quite simple, it's no! You can only be scared if you scare yourself. You need to know who you are and what you are about before you are willing and capable of stepping up to somebody and asking them to consider to date you, much less even think of "go with" you or even marry you. It has nothing to do with being a Black woman or man, it's about being able to know who you are and what you are/aren't willing to put up with. Everything is constantly pointed out at how "sista's" are and act like such and such. However, why don't people look at it from the other side of the spectrum. What is a "brotha" acting like or what what is a "brotha" about. It goes back to the old saying, when you're pointing one finger, there are three pointing right back at you. Whomever came up with this article was half-cocked and half-thinking to begin with. It sounded like a personal question that they wanted to make a public battle. However, it needs to be looked at why the need to air your personal and private battles? If a person doesn't want to date a Black woman, fine and good, because there is surely someone else who wants to date them. If a person has a problem with a "sista's" attitude, they should look at the attitude that is constantly given to the sista first. If a person doesn't want to deal with a "woman of color's" behavior, they need to look at what their behavior is first. This article verges on stupid and inane and should have never been posted, printed, or written to begin with. If you don't know who you are and what you are willing to bring to another person's table, then YOU, yes you need to keep it going. If you don't know what you are/aren't willing to put up with in a relationship, then YOU, yes you, need to re-examine your values and define who you are as a person. If you don't want to "date/go with" a woman that is Black or "acts Black" then do like they do it on Soul Train, keep the line moving, because YOU aren't the ONLY person in the world! Sisters are who they are, people are who they are, and yes, we all have quirks, annoyances, and behaviors that we can/could/should/would re-examine, but life continues to keep one moving. |

You are the company you keep so if you find yourself constantly surrounded by black women who act in an unbecoming way then maybe you need to check yourself. You speak of these "frustrating" black women as if you are different from them. If you cannot see each of them as your sister and more importantly a direct reflection of yourself then it is you who is lacking and has the severe shortcomings. I find it difficult to believe that you find black women to be the most beautiful beings on this earth when you constantly disrespect and degrade them by perpetuating asinine, ignorant, ass-backward stereotypes about them. If you do not understand the plethora of reasons why black women are the most beautiful, but least taken then you really shouldn't be contributing to this discussion except to ask for sources you should read to get a better understanding of the black woman and her place in American society and the world and how she has gotten here. As for your friend who is seeking peace of mind specifically outside of the black woman... Maybe he should be searching for piece of mind. I'm quite sure once he finds that missing piece of mind he will be capable of finding peace of mind in himself and also in his sisters. Another point that I would be remiss not to mention is that it is incredibly frustrating for what could possibly be intelligent discourse to be reduced to stereotyping and trolling. I say all of this for the purpose of achieving greater understanding as I feel somewhere in the muddled mess that you've been posting there is a slim chance that you might have some type of valid point or contribution to add to this discussion. I love a good discussion/debate, but only when it is done intelligently. Everything else is for sh*ts and giggles and the world already has too much sh*t and Dr.Phil has the giggles covered. |

" you're absolutely right about me using the word "most" in the incorrect manner that i was using it, so i apologize for that. " If you are repeatedly using words incorrectly then you have not contemplated your comments enough. Quote:
If you re-read the comment you'll see that I said you degraded black women by perpetuating setereotypes. You made statements based solely on your experiences as if your experiences are indicative of "the black woman" and you also made ignorant generalizations of black women based on your "experiences". You also made yourself look foolish by stating that you've had positive black women impact your life, but continue to lump the majority of black women in to a group of "shallow" and other unbecoming adjectives people. The fact that you do not find any of that degrading is part of the problem that black people face today. Also, it is fine to base comments off of your experiences, but how accurate do you actually believe your measley life is when extrapolating it on to the vast majority of black women? Your opinion seems to stem from an uneducated perspective and to be based in absolutely no fact. |

now, when you get your measley life together, then just maybe we can have an intellectual conversation. you're sad. truly sad.... |
my think is this.....what's with the insults? i have apologized for anythiing i said that offended anyone (i have no idea why, but i did....lol). and another thing......if you would've actually read my post, it states "the majority of black women that I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS". it doesn't say "MAJORITY OF BLACK WOMEN, IN GENERAL". my experiences are what they are, and the truth is the truth.what in the world?

So in my world, this is totally a myth. The Black women in my life are educated, loving, independent, have great jobs/careers, own their own businesses, property, and dare I say it....most are also married! They are all doing the damn thing so sorry, I just can't relate. If you are a queen, then you want and deserve a king. Period. |
I am so glad that MasonsInquiries isn't allowed to speak for all Black men out there.
Just reading the first thing you posted in this thread you sound like a bitter person who is jaded and have your own issues to work out about relationships and probably expresses them THROUGH your relationship which leads you to not HAVE a healthy relationship which is why you are posting the eff'ed up opinions on this board. That you are married is a surprise to me. |

DaemonSeid, i'm not bitter at all; just a person that has one question: "why"? the thing i don't understand is that this thread has a SPECIFIC title. i made my comments (some didn't come out the way i meant it to) and ultimately, i ended up apologizing for my "false" comments. rhoyaltempest, did i or did i NOT apologize for the statements that came out wrong? DaemonSeid, i never drag my marriage into my personal thoughts because frankly, one has nothing to do with the other. in case you're wondering, my marriage is doing fine. believe it or not, she actually agrees with me on this issue whole-heartedly. but thanks for showing such genuine care.......LOL!:p |
^^^ Pushing up on Xanthus territory as far as giving out too much info is concerned.
Does anyone here really care about his marriage? |

From everything you posted on this thread...this is how you sound: "I love my Black women and they are beautiful, but damn, they are mean and hateful bitches!" And I can't back a brotha up that thinks that way because when you say some bullisht like that then I am going to start wondering what is wrong with you. MI....you sound as hateful and as bitter as the women sitting around complaining about all men are dogs or whatever it is that they complain about. And you keep talking about you came to this lil epiphany of yours because of the experience you have had ? Every time you keep saying "a lot" or "many" or "most" you keep clowning yourself and making yourself look like a blooming idiot basing something empirically on something that happens in your little tiny corner of the world. It's been said once and it bears repeating..you haven't dealt with 'a lot' or even enough women on this planet to be qualified enough to do this and the opinions that contradict yours on this board prove that. Furthermore have you EVER considered ONCE that your experiences are also based on the company you keep? That probably the reason you keep running into these types of women that shape your experience is based on the circles you run in (or who knows, maybe you watch too much TV )? Maybe you need to up your game and the people you allow in and you won't come off sounding like a bitter old crab of a man that you are coming off as right now because trust me, not only have you been offensive to the women on this board you have been offensive to myself also and sorry to say, I dont hold sistas in such a low regard as you do. |

as for 'coments' and laughing be forewarned that it goes both ways. Except, more might be laughing at yours... So look, I don't have time to play around tonight trading barbs with a 'misunderstood' misogynist. So either say something meaningful or go find another thread to play in. |
