And secondly the average black woman is secure in herself that she does not need a white man to catapult her into a higher albeit imagined societal status.

absolutely nothing.
If only they knew that the epitome of manliness in the eyes of any blackgirl is her father.
The love she translates to other black men.

If only they knew that we think the world of them.
I am happy with the one I have,he is not perfect,he is but a man but I wouldn't trade him for silver or gold!

There is no "they". There is "you", there is "me", there is "that girl" and there is "that boy". Stereotypes are bad!

Some black men are strong, and some black men are weak. That's what I'm trying to say. It's an individual thing.

@ziddy this is the first time that in the many threads we have shared. . . that I must disagree with you brotha. . .what spoilt says and experiences is a reality for black women everywhere regardless of the continent,

I think you misunderstand her. . .what she is trying to convey to you and the black men on this thread. . . is that given the black man's history and circumstances we (BLACK women) have waited. . .we have never in drobes turned our backs on black men the way that yall (BLACK men) have done us. . . Not certain about other countries but i do know in the states that educated. . .well-to-do black women out number men. . . they are plentiful, with all the characteristics that davidylan and all other balck men seek, however we lack one quality, characteristic we were not born white. This is not fiction or fantasy. . . and yes legally you have the right to marry whomever you choose. . .but the bigger picture is this what about our black families. . .how do we instill the traditions/culture into the next generation when they no longer have strong roots to hold on to. . .and typically continue to move further and further away from their blackness. . .

There is no other culture more open and forgiving than ours. . .we accept others despite the hurt they have caused in our past and continue to do in our present. . .no other woman can ever love you in totality like a black woman. . .

She has been where you been. . .side by side with you and even when you left her behind for a so called better life. . . if and when you return she takes you back with open arms. . . ready to raise your children and instill values and morals that surpass any other. . .this not to say that we are better than any other woman but that we are your other half. . . your neck if you will. . .when the world degrades you and call you names as your neck I help you hold your head high and give you the strength it takes to face this cruel discriminatory world another day . . .

I nag you because I care, because I want the best from you. . .because this is what I pledge to give you. . . I wont allow you to slip because the world wont and I will only be doing you a disservice if I don't tell you the truth regardless to how much it hurts. . .

As the mother of civilization. . .do you know how it aches my heart to see you turn your back on me. . .to throw away the beauty and hertiage we created. . .

And if you want freedom of choice I have afforded you that as well. . .I have given an array of colors and textures to choose from (there are black women as fair as Ms. Jolie to as dark as Ms. Whoopi) why must you treat me as if I am not good enough to be your queen. . .

I think I will end here and allow you digest what I am saying and pleading to you. . .

I AM NOT A RACIST BUT CANT YOU SEE. . . YOUR INVOLVEMENT WITH HER IS DESTROYING THE US IN WE. . .

you nailed it. yep. you did! thank you.

i know i was rambling quite a bit and being very cynical in all my previous posts. but i want to thank you again for putting this matter in a way that was so much better than the disgusted angle i was coming from. the whole matter is just getting downright ridiculous. i'm not racist at all and i love all people. i have great black female friends. very educated, well spoken, cute, respectful and everything but it almost seems like they are invisible to our men and unappealing to men of other races who can never appreciate black skin and beauty like you rightly noted. this topic just touched on a raw nerve again. grin.

This is exactly why started this thread. . .because I think black men need to re-evaluate the potential damage they are doing to "the black family" etc. . .

Re: Marriage Squeeze: Is This Only An African American Woman's Problem? by Nobody: 4:29am On May 05, 2007
i'm still in the siddon look phase. Glad you love the black man so much. its just sad that most black men have another agenda and see the black woman as dispensable. My uncle has been complaining to high heavens that most of the guys his daughter grew up with are busy with white women while his poor daughter is counting her chickens in mummy's kitchen.

Dont worry, very soon you will return to tell us the testimony that you too have been "taken".

Well if i want one. . .any piece of one. . . that I can have. . .but I am searching. . .seeking to build an empire with one and that requires more than settling for a piece of a man for the sake of saying I have one. . .oops i think that's for a different thread o!
