LOL, these muthafuckas are trying to make a killing off of the "educated black women is single syndrome"
Milking that shit dry for every last, ounce of profit.
This cat better watch out Tyler Perry might not take nicely to his turf being encroached on.
I give it about another 8 months before some other clown pops up with their "plight of the black woman."
Coming to theaters in Summer 2012.

hell yeah. There have been only 1 1/2 black men in the media trying to tell both sides of t6he story. Michael basiden (the 1/2) and Tariq nasheed. Tariq be going off on BW when its warranted. MB... well he tells it but he put a lot of sugar on it.

ROFL Pixie,hey there are the exceptions.
I just feel so strongly about this because I take the person as they come individually. I'm not naive to the realities of racism, sexism and the pure hatred and ignorance others can carry in their hearts.
However I'm confident and assertive enough in my makeup to deal with other folks based on their own merits.
With all the negative perceptions, assumptions, stereotypes and characterizations that being a black male in America can carry with it, I don't sit around feeling woe is me. I live my life just fine and would never let the ignorance of others influence my choices in life.
If I listened to others about what being a black man in America entails I should be speaking in nothing but fluently flowing ebonics, hanging around on the street corner and in the housing projects slinging rocks, copped a couple of slugs in me in a drug deal gone bad while running from the po-po and been to prison for a couple of stints, all of this and at the same time working on my presumptive career as a budding rap artist.
If one thing I have learned being a black male in America is never allow yourself to be a statistic.
Absolutely on the mark. It's the same thing with any -ism, you have to be aware of it, but you don't have to wallow in it. Take people as they come, and live life on your on terms

I think its reached a point where a lot of brothas that would have even given a damn just said "eff" it and just live their lives and can't be bothered with the whole subject any longer, it just becomes repetitious and serves what purpose in the end, only ending up right back where it started and the beat goes on.
Think about it, you never hear this nonsense in the Hispanic community, Asian community, White community, Native American communities.
Yet even folks who aren't aware of black issues could probably recite something they heard from one of the major media outlets on this subject matter.
I compare it to the Yankees hat, everyone may not be a fan or know what the heck baseball is, but it seems everywhere the NY logo can be found globally.

Thank you bro. This nonsense just leaves me shaking my damn head like are these folks for real.
My outlook has always been this is the allotted time I have on earth and I'm not wasting it on endless drama. Hell no. I don't do drama so that is a nonstarter. Which is why I'm so nonchalant about the whole BM vs BW thing, who benefits from that, what good comes of it, what does it accomplish, does it leave any positive traits in its wake.
I know the world isn't rainbows and marshmallows out there, but just live your life in a way that makes you happy, as long as you aren't bringing harm to others, do you.

I was going to start a thread with this link but I'll just add it since we already have one but at any rate, I read some of his book at a local library & to the point it basically sucks forblack men...AND THIS SHYT IS WRITTEN BY A BLACK MAN.
It's definitely slanted towards black women & pushing them (IMO) to date outside of their race...basically he panders to black women that are into this type of stuff sort of like Steve Harvey's book does just in another way! Again, this is my opinion only.
I wondered if you had started this thread, would DK attacked you, like he did me.
