Men!

I must say that after traveling the WORLD, I still see and experience something new and wonderful when it comes to "black men."  Ok yes! I am one of those women who when the Sh*t hits the fan I pass the blame and vent about what I am NOT getting. However, traveling across the world, having the opportunity to see and meet other people and  experience other cultures; always sends me back to "black men." I am sorry, but there is NOTHING in this world like a black man.

 

Yes, society and even the brothers themselves, have mentally and physically beaten themselves down at many turns, but I have noticed, that NO MATTER where I am on this planet I always gravitate towards them. Whether or not they even realize it, I always feel safe, comfortable and happy when I am around them. By no means am I excluding men of other cultures, but right now, I want to express myself about the black man.

 

God knows I will not be speaking in vain when I say that we as black women have had our countless of problems, issues and heartaches with them, but I have encountered so many amazing, cool and positive brothers, that I cannot exclude them from my thoughts, blogs and conversation.

 

Despite what issues I am going through as a black single female, there have been quite a few black men that have kept me on my path of being a better mom, staying focused on my goals and just feeling good about being a black woman. I think about how hard it is out there not just to be BLACK, but to be a black man and still be able to give something positive to others. It is a blessing that I recognize with reverence.

 

So, to all of the brothers out there, I GOT you! I will always try to UNDERSTAND you and stand by your side. ALWAYS!  If we could all learn how to give this to one another; imagine how powerful we could be. Don't you think we deserve it?

 

Muah!

'Til next time.
