So many times women get caught up in what they see, and lose focus of what they can't see... Black women have patience, and the ability to see potential in our black men. They need us as much as we need them. We need to build strong black families... the families our grandparents had. The ones where they were married until "death do us part." We need to raise our children to respect each other, and be strong in their convictions, and believe in themselves. Black men, I love you... and stay strong!

Good post. I would say that some of us were blessed with parents (I'm older, nearly 40) that put together strong black families.
