My Black Brother

Well well here I am again. Been a little under the weather. Had a mean case of bronchitis, but I'm starting to feel a bit more like myself now. Nothing very exciting has been going on in my life so I'd like to get into something I've been thinking about recently. The BLACK man. I've noticed that a lot of black women on Facebook and Twitter do a lot of man bashing. I have to include myself in this group because I do sometimes get caught up in it too. We call them scummies, we use them, abuse them, and make fun of them. In a sense we've turned into everything we hate about black men. Now don't get me wrong, there are PLENTY of scummies in the world. Unfortunately, we run into them a lot more often than the good black man. Sorry, getting off subject, I'll save the scummies for another post. For now, I'd just like the world to know that there are good black men out there. Plenty actually. I'm in love with the black man. There is nothing sexier on this planet than an educated black man. NOTHING. Our black men are educated, talented, ambitious, loving, funny, loyal, strong, creative and most of all misunderstood. The worst part is that they are misunderstood mostly by their own black women. Sometimes we confuse every black man with the one black man who may have hurt us. This has to end. I will no longer be guilty of making generalized statements about black men. I will not bring to light the flaws and weaknesses. Instead I will shine a light on all of my black brothers doing it the way it's supposed to be done. I just want to stand up for my black men. I mean...if we don't, who will??? Think about it.
