Thank you sistaslick. I needed the young men to hear from a sista. Some of the guys really hurt from this dilemma and it's dividing a once strong people. Some of them are young and don't understand what they are about to be up against as Black/African American MEN is this society. Did you know that a white man with a felony has 60% more of a chance of getting a job than a Black man with a college degree right now in NY, CA, and of course TX (my home)????? This statistic came from BET News and CNN. They think it's a game. Well, if it's a game somebody had better explain the RULES to them before death, prison, or drug addiction happens. And it needs to be a MAN not a woman. A MAN is subject to a different set of rules than a woman, so he is better suited to explain these rules than the mother. I know some women may get upset with this but who cares, I don't. They think they know but don't. Maybe they will feel me now! It's time to wake up, pull the pants up, put the blunts down, and be a real MAN. Seek the truth about your culture even if you are of two different cultures.
Ignorance is bliss, but it hurts you when you don't vote or can't vote, don't have a good job, can't support your seeds/children, using drugs, women putting you down, whites putting you down, all other races putting you down, and you running around thinking you got it going on. Find out the truth and have some pride. Real MEN stand up and be counted!

Great post BiggMike. Man I feel like I am on the wrong side of the tracks but I just wanted to come show y'all some love over here.
We as a society have a lot of growing and mending to do. I guess we have it hard b/c we are recovering from years of being told that our skin and hair were too dark, to kinky, too this and too that by our European slavemasters-- and we've held it, carried it, and passed over those same untruths to our children both consciously and subconsciously. Even on the all female hairboards we have these same dilemmas and issues with hair---particularly the relaxed versus natural hair debate. Do the sistah's who relax their hair hate their true blackness? How natural is really natural? Should you press your hair straight or use curl defining products if you have truly accepted yourself and are really satisfied with the natural hair God has given you? Its so amazing that these issues really run so much deeper than hair. Just my lil two cents.
they yah sound is real funny but bigmike that was funny u said ur nick name was jet black lol but another funny name i heard towards a dark skin fellow was period like after a sentence jus wanted to share the new jet black isnt that bad but un called for and by the way did u accept it ??????? and what do u feel on ethiopians just wonderin ??????

Us males are out numbered so we are in trouble without role models. That's why the women are doing so much better than us because they have mama, grandmama, and now great grandmama, great great grandmothers that are still living, mentor programs, and now business women too.
Ask yourself what do we have?
We have each other! Males
That's why I volunteer at the Dallas Juvenile Justice Center so I can help all these young fatherless boys. Somebody got to do it.

That's why I use this emotion because it's true in many cases but not in all cases.
You see everbody wants to be like the "Have Not's", you know the people with the permant tans, But nobody wants to have their economic problems or family problems.
Did you know that their are 5 females to each Black male? This in itself causes many of our problem. Too much competition for one group and not enough for the other group.
