I wish some of you studied the Black community as much as you studied the White community. Because it’s pertinent to know both. But I’ll entertain this conversation. It’s a loaded one that’s pretty complex with many dynamics, even though people will try to simplify it by saying, “some communities are just more intentional than others when it comes to dating”.

You can only pass down what you’ve learned and pursue that in which you see value in. Let me try to be short and direct lol. You can’t and wouldn’t have the opposite of this without the strategic dismantling of the Black family unit via mass incarceration, the drug epidemic, economic castration and miseducation of the Black community, that began in the late 70’s and ravished what once existed physically, psychologically & emotionally for the next 2 1/2 decades.

Black girls overwhelmingly have been raised to be independent, to seek the highest levels of education (nothing inherently wrong with this) and to never have to depend on a man because of this—by single mothers who were placed in situations that called for that. That upbringing subconsciously narrates the rest of their lives, unless realized and attempted to change in order to sustain a healthy relationship with a man. This also statistically causes Black women to become ready to for marriage much later in life. They call it “settling” down for a reason, because you will never be able to find a man that that checks all 40 boxes on your list. The goal is to find one that presents, safety, security and a level of stability. Someone equally yoked, who’s open to self-improvement and whom you can build with.

Black boys at a higher rate were also raised by single mothers, women who tried their best to turn them into men but even the best mothers are incapable of giving a boy everything needed to become a man. Many never had examples of solid male role models who exemplified love, commitment and the importance of social structure. They in turn were raised and socialized to “survive”. If you’ve ever been in that state of mind to any capacity you would have a deeper understanding and be more empathetic.

Are there Black men who actively destroy their own families without any help or outside of the conditions I previously listed—due to infidelity, ego, lack of discipline etc. absolutely but even that is all traceable back to a mental health element that many don’t want to address. If you simply think that Black men are just more promiscuous or less serious than other races, you’re sadly misinformed.

Intentionally dating and marriage are byproducts and privileges of healthy examples, conditioning, upbringing, values and positive mental health. Now that we are aware of these obstacles and why our people have and are currently facing them in our community, I vote we stop these comparison games and put all of our energy & time into becoming more and wanting more, using our own metrics.

This Bronx apartment building had over 100 open violations before it suddenly collapsed on Monday.

Tonight we questioned the landlord about the lack of repair work.

He literally ran away.
