Keeping It Real: Good Black Man are indeed all around us.
We pass them on the streets, in the malls, in captivity behind the walls, and in the hall at work. Most we can't see because we say we want a good man, but do we really? We want the flashy or rich guys to buy us the good things. He has to wear all the bling bling or push a Lexus. Sometimes we want the "body by Fisher" or a face for “GQ." But as you mature, you realize it's better to find someone who's got your back than someone who turns your head.
A Good Black Man doesn't agree wholeheartedly with everything you say. He doesn't just tell you what you want to hear and do the opposite. He doesn't have to declare how sensitive, sweet, caring, sincere, yada, yada, yada, he is (he won't have to...because it shows). He has his own opinions & you may clash, but he doesn't have to degrade you to prove he's right. He even admits at times to being wrong, especially if you are willing to do the same
A Good Black Man is not going to meet every item on your checklist. He is human with frailties & faults mixed in with all of his sexy, sensual attributes. He needs your love & respect. He needs to feel that you don't have to catch him doing something wrong so you can declare "Aha I knew all along"
A Good Black Man doesn't have to give you a huge Birthday or Valentine gift. He shows his love in the ways that are comfortable to him. Don't judge him by TV standards. No one is living that Fairytale--for real.
BLACK MEN we salute you, and thank you for who you are, and all you've done.
Pass this along to some of the "Good Black Men" you know, and a few women that need to read it! Ya Dig?....
