First off, MissDiamond, thanks for droppin' some knowlege!!! We all really need to keep redirecting ourselves as sistahs.
Secondly, as a friend of mine says, bruhs that are pursaded by caucasian women--it's just one less person to think about at Christmas time... Forget a bruh, 'cuz it's like trying to change a gay man, straight...
Thirdly or shall I say on the 3rd eye, Afrikans stuck in amerikkklan were unable to foster positive enlightening relationships simple because it could spell death for the relationship participants. The europee-on slave masters didn't want the slaves' sons and daughters risin' up and takin' over the plantation, that's why he killed the men AND women and sold off the children when families were formed.
When our enslaved ancestors were "emancipated", the first folk they would try to find is someone remotely related to them that had an impact on their lives. That's why extended family is such a treasure for the Afrikan family...
I have had plenty of bruhs knock me down spiritually enough to know that it's their issue. If I wanted to kick myself down, I certainly don't need a spiritually inept person helpin' me. And that's gotten me beyond the hurt. As far as bruhs dating, marrying and lovin' other women, the longer we assimilate completely into this culture, the more destituted our Afrikan families will be... Oh well, 'cuz sistahs are coming back with a vengence dating, marrying and lovin' other men... And not to bash a bruh for his finances, but if I were one of those women that had to have the funding by her man, why would I date bruhs? Hell, when my brother got married to his white woman, my parents asked me if I would marry a white man!!! I said I would marry a white man... Only if he were rich, like "Bill Gates" rich, 'cuz why date a poor one when there are enuf strugglin' bruhs out there that need lovin' too? My folx thought I was crazy...
But I cain't help myself to some nice, deep, dark, smooth, caramel, cream-filling, truffle tastin' chocolate... Don't let the smooth taste fool yah!
