What this list tells us:
1. To be good in bed you have to be a thug or ghetto.
2. There is no such thing as a "good man"
3. Drama is fun, stability is boring.
4. The only thing important interms of "advantages are : sex, money, looks, material things.
Dang, are these truly the choices? Where is the good brother? Where is the Christian man? Where is the down to earth brother who's book and street smart?

Without sounding preachy, there are some good brothers out there, and some no so good brothers out there. We have to make sure our radars are intune to the good brother frequency only, so that when the bad brother comes around we don't even give him the time of day, but when the good brother does we know him, even if he doesn't come in the package we thought he should.
Maybe it is the conversation I had with my husband this weekend, maybe it is because it is that time of the month, but I am really weary of the fighting between black men and women. If it ain't downlow brothers, it's more men in jail than colleges. If it's not project chicks with 3-4 kids by different daddies, it't the hard successful woman who will cut as soon as she looks at you.
It just makes me said.
O.K. I'm done. Carry on.
