Connecting Risk-Takers, Doers, and the Makers of Things.

“There are no good black men in the world!” cry countless women from Anchorage to Miami as many of them throw on their Freak ‘em girl dresses and stilettos to go to the club. The phrase has become so popularized in the black community that many people use it’s appeal as a marketing strategy. There seems to be dozens of black fiction books dedicated to this topic. When you drive by the bus stop, there’s always a young sista on the corner reading the latest “Niggas Aint Shit” novel. Tyler Perry loves talking about it as well in his “movies” and “plays” (I seriously try to support the brotha but damn, his psuedo-movies and psuedo-plays suck). It’s become so embedded in people’s heads, that they no longer know what a good black man looks like when they see one. Thus, the topic of this blog.

There are GOOD brothers everywhere. The problem is that all of the aforementioned have convinced sista's that there are none and true to form if you hear something enough times you will start to believe it.
I know there are =) I'm a FIRM believer in everyone is different - there is no such thing as a bad person, just troubled people. There are reasons people are they way they are and everyone is not meant for everyone. Going through trials and tribulations within a relationship that makes one say someone is a dog or attempt to categorize all men or women is natural. Its called life experience's and things you learn from. It is up to us to learn from the mistake made with a failed relationship or to harbor on it forever and be bitter.

Im a woman and I HATE shopping - I HATE spending money but we go around thinking all women love to shop, etc. Just as we have it n our head that all men are dogs. Unlike the older generation, we lack the communication factor in relationships. We lack the ability to compromise now a days - life has been all about getting money and fucking over whom ever it takes to get that money.

Ok - I'm ranting - lol. I just thought the blog post was interesting...CaT
honestly, most people don’t even know what they want in a mate - a good man to most women is what society tells u is a good man. Dude just offered to fly me to Trinidad and my friends are like bitchhhhhhhhh - thats a good man..keep in mind I just met him and dont even know his last name (I know it now,lol) and all my friends know is what Ive told him. He has the funds to fly me to an exotic place and all of a sudden hes a good man. What if he has a wife and kids? What if he has AIDS/HIV? I actually thought long and hard about the trip (mainly cause of the company he associates with and them insiting he is a great man) but I think Im going to pass. Thats not my style to have some man I barely know fly me across the world just to possibly have to give up the ass cuz he spent so much on me - nigga earn my pussy the RIGHT way. Get to know me and let me learn you and admire, and respect you…Im sayin, lol =) - CathrynMarie
