it's not an ego trip

It's not an ego trip, just our faith in our Black Men has slipped into a depression. You used to be Kings now your value has lessened.Most assumptions are based on what is viewed and frankly most Men's mentals are skewed. You win the bread but don't want to feed us because society says "women, you can never trust", and because you are able to provide what some can't..."Golddigger" is our label!

Yeah I am a little biased you see I'm a single mother whose childrenAre getting let down by a Brother! He always gives that famous line " I love my kids, they are the reason I breathe"but never calls to see how they be. Food on the table, clothes on their backs, shoes on their feet... I bought that! Homework, birthdays,concerts and plays, Eczema flare ups,Asthma attacks and Hospital stays...while he is at home, I struggle alone. 

Yes we are disillusioned by lies and confusion so forgive me for refusing to be just another conquest. "White Man's" rap! Give it a rest. It is not an ego trip but Black Men have lost our Respect. Your word was your Bond, what happened to that? Priests of your homes,Proud heads of the Family. You passed to your sons great work ethic, honor and integrity. It's not an ego trip you used to be full of wisdom and inspiration, true Leaders of our Nation...never afraid to take a stand, made us proud to be at your side and take your hand.

 It's not an ego trip we just want you to see the potential you have inside! Stop blaming others and looking for free rides. Stop calling yourselves N!66@s and us B*****s, stop the Games and pull up them britches! Stop dimming your light, let it shine...hold your head up walk and talk with Pride. GIVE YOUR QUEEN A KING TO STAND BESIDE!

to takiyahalee: that poem was derived from the heart to be shared and expressed in a way that will cause critical thinking. if it rubbed you the wrong way, then maybe you need to evaluate how your attitude is towards black men in general and yourself as well. whatever you went through in your past, i'm sorry to hear that; but lashing out blindly at stuff not aimed at you ain't gonna make things no better. I'm not here to stir up any confrontation, just merely a way to uplift and encourage love and peace for everyone.

I never intended it to make you feel I lashed out, and nothing I do is done blindly. You said what you wrote was from the heart and you wanted evoke critical thinking right? You accomplished that but you did not expect a response. I apologize if it caught you off guard and made you feel any type of way, which it clearly did I was just giving a woman's perspective as to why some of us wild out. I have a question: when you read my response, you thought I was a bitter mad black woman right?

yep. i know that pople's entittled to their opinions, but at least let it be honest and not out of malice. again, i felt that what you wrote was based on your own experiences and not thrpough life's observations. mines is partial; some from mines and some from my education. and, i don't have nothing against my black women at all, it's just that some of yas'll be really trippin with the attitude and stuff, making us feel like we ain;t . then some of ya'll want to know why we dating outside our race. all i'm saying is for black women to instead of always writing us off over minor issues because ya'll got them too, at least try to understand and love us. wouldn't that a little easier? i'm glad that you did respond, but damn be easy man. i look forward to hearing from you again one day.
 

takiyahalee says:

Now I feel you are insulting me, first you tell me I don't think before I speak, now I'm being malice and dishonest. I write based on what I see, hear, and feel. I can not help that some women prefer to act like fools, but your assumptions of me are based on words you read but did not understand. I am far from angry and bitter, I am in Love with the most beautiful black man God has ever created, but I will not sugar coat my opinions, thoughts, or words. And yup we do have issues, I admit mine everyday and God is working mine out. Everyone wants to be understood and accepted, and eventually as more dialogue opens people and their views will change. Nice chatting with you, Stay Blessed
