great responses pham!! i love the black family and want to see it grow stronger, not taking anything away from anyone else, but i can't wait to walk down the aisle to my black king. sisters and sorors we must believe in our men and lift them up. support him in his dreams and let him know you believe in him. don't lower your standards, but give the brothers a chance to be what God intended them to be. Powerful Leaders and our bestfriends.

question to the bruhs, could it be that since there are more educated etc. black women per statistics, that some of our men are intimidated by us and choose to marry women who are less independent or who are on a lower educational/economic level? men NEED to feel needed so maybe they don't feel like sisters need them.

There may be some merit in your statement about bruhs being intimidated. Some may be. With the number of educated sistas on the rise, bruhs SEE yall's economic independence daily. When an incarcerated bruh is released, his employment options aren't that great. He wont make the kind of money that pays the bills and affords him the ability to wine and dine yall like yall want. Many of yall know the brothas's plight, and refuse to date him unless he's "drivin'" this kinda car, or livin' in his own. You may not even acknowledge a brotha if his gear aint right; yet THAT brotha could be THE BEST MAN YOU WILL EVER HAVE. But you won't know it unless you lower yo standards a bit, and give the brotha some time.
