Marriage Squeeze: Is This Only An African American Woman's Problem?

Can I get a "second that motion". . .up in here. . .

Plus aint nothing like a black man, Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm

The strength and determination they represent is unmatched to any other

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

I think you misunderstand herwhat 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 waitedwe 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 educatedwell-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 choosebut the bigger picture is this what about our black familieshow do we instill the traditions/culture into the next generation when they no longer have strong roots to hold on toand typically continue to move further and further away from their blackness. . .

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

She has been where you beenside 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 otherthis not to say that we are better than any other woman but that we are your other half. . . your neck if you willwhen 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 youbecause 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 civilizationdo you know how it aches my heart to see you turn your back on meto throw away the beauty and hertiage we created. . .

And if you want freedom of choice I have afforded you that as wellI 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. . .

Everybody just dey talk "i'm taken" . . .
May God help us.

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. .

Everybody just dey talk "i'm taken" . . .
May God help us.

Ameromoge are you taken? " i'm recruiting" 

See the children are what the mother isso we safe there culture preserved. . .
