I actually thought about going. Then I was like: 'Not the same shyt.' I will pop a blood vessel up in there!
Again, there are black men for black women. Some "successful" black women have X-ed out many of black men who are every day guys.
Perhaps this is the reason why many of these women are alone: http://theshadowseries.blogspot.com/2010/03/medusa.html.
Medusa's are all over da place!
Black people discuss the most 'common' crap. It is always our tired azz issues. We gotta get it together.
There is so much to this life besides: relationships, race, and religion. Are we confined to the 3 R's?
Relationships: Come and Go.
Race: Will always be an issue.
Religion: A bunch of bull shit!
So much reason to expand/evolve!
Also, why in the h*ll would anyone listen to Steve Harvey's message on relationships? This man has been divorced 3 times...(do a fact check on that).

ReplyDeleteTo spend time lending credence to such trash would be a major reason why "successful" Black women can't find a man. Another trivial pursuit created by those who wish to control the lives and choices of Black women. The only shortage of Black men is in the minds of those women who believe it. Not even those pushing the REAL agenda into the consciousness of Black women believe that. If one's mindset is that of shortage, one will always experience shortage.

ReplyDeleteWhat determines success? Many of the women who will be there and buy into the message are the answers to their own issues. Potential for another waiting to exhale party perpetuating the victim and whoa is me mentality.

ReplyDeleteI get the feeling some females get uncomfortable when men speak contrary to events or situations regarding relationships among black couples. I'd be the first to say that I am a work in progress and never want to be an "expert", yet it appears that many of these "successful" black women tend to NOT listen to black men and override communication lines and not even realize it. It's pathetic how many cell phone minutes and lonely nights many females spend finding fault in some man's life and gaining useless strength listening to their "girlfriends" do the same. While men may not be as much in tune with their emotional needs, please know that grown men do and can think. Most could really give a damn about all those things that are deemed "success". This whole thing can get better if we start studying our grandparents and their parents. All these books, magazine articles, and phone conversations are overrated. Cook, Keep a clean house, stroke a man's ego, open your mind as well as your legs, and exude SECURITY (not in the fashion of nails, weave, and a mercedes). If a successful woman can't keep a man with this recipe.............................................. then the View, Steve Harvey, Essence, nor Zane can do nothing for you!

ReplyDeleteThey do because the truth is stinging. Not listening is the main problem. If they would listen and act accordingly they would not be in the predicament. Tradition is revered for a reason: It worked! Some of us so azz backwards that we cannot realize that this new way of functioning is KILLING us as a people. It is. All one has to do is look around. Note the songs that women label as anthems. They are all about being independent. Look where their independency has landed them. And, I don't believe for a moment that these women our age learned this crap from their mommas. They allowed the social dynamic of America, the sopa opera, to infiltrate and take over what worked.
