Dear Black Men

Dear black men, please like me
I promise to you I'm not loud or ignorant, bossy or rude i don't have an attitude problem i don't fight; i barely yell, i will walk away before i put my hands on you, you wont catch me in a group photo bent over showing my a** for likes or comments, i would rather write and read then watch reality TV shows. I like more intellectual conversations; i don't talk loud to be heard my presence speaks louder; I promise to never degrade you, but honor you and respect you the way i want to be; I wont blast you on Facebook, twitter, Instagram, or make a big scene when we disagree; I'm not bitter nor angry inside I am not materialistic so i don't like temporary things; I don't follow the crowd and i speak my mind if you slippin Ima catch u if you fall ima pick u up if you loose everything tomorrow i still be there so please like me and understand that we are not all the same
