TRUTH. Thank you. There are as many trifling Black women as there are trifling Black men — we need to check ourselves and our own sisters before we jump on the “blame the Black man” game. I come from five generations of good Black men — you don’t get to be with men like that unless you bring your A game — nor can you find such men wasting time in the club, the bar, or even in SOME churches! My grandmother and mother taught me well: if you want to be with people who are about something positive, YOU need to be about something positive! Although I have not been blessed with a husband, the Black men I have known well enough to consider marrying have been busy working for our people — I don’t even look outside of that realm, and while there has been heartbreak, there has been no need for bitterness and blanket statements about “all Black men are dogs.” I know better, and it’s about time all our sisters grow up enough to learn better and do better.

its time to make a change..Where I can recognize the pain of our sisters I cannot accept the continuous blame game played by some ..It is time to move on grow up mature and forgive…Sometimes its simply about the woman in the mirror/ going to that place where it hits us all front and center..Throwing back our heads and shoulders and stepping out on faith believing once again that we are all of that and the chips..Why? because we are? I do not hear you!!!,,Sorry for any typos

I really don’t want to judge anyone since we all have varied experiences. And those experiences shape and mold our thoughts, beliefs and who we are. But Wow! This article is unbelievable. It is filled with every negative stereotype of black women that exists. I hate that some of you had angry, bitter, black mothers,sisters, aunts etc, but we all did not have such an unfortunate experience. Maybe the energy and childhood baggage that you are bringing to relationships are being reciprocated. There is a saying: ” You attract what you are.” So it is unfair to label all black women as angry. The guy with the white wife sounds ridiculous. He just happened to be blessed with a good woman who happens to be white. She is not good because she is WHITE. @ Robert and Kenya Thanks for bringing a balanced argument to this nonsense.

@Kenya,if a woman sleeps with a man without commitment or discipline, is it fair for her to require some afterwards? With sex comes responsibility, and since most of the responsibility falls on us as women immediately, we have to be responsible when choosing who we decide to reproduce. If I sleep with a man, and we are not married, there is no commitment, but I continue to sleep with him and get pregant, I am basically volunteering to be a single mother. There are a lot of talk about fathers not being in the homes, but oftentimes the woman is seen as the victim and that is not always the case. There are a lot of bitter women raising children because they don’t know how to handle a failed relationship, and deliberately keep the child or children away from their fathers. Some women aren’t honest with themselves or their children as to why the father isn’t in the home, all the children will know is that daddy is “no good”, and that is unfair. Mothers have influence over the child starting from the womb, whatever she feels the child feels, her thoughts are placed into the mind of the child, so if a mother is pregnant and is feeling resentment towards the father, what would the CHILD feel towards the father? That is why I posed the question, what would the sons of our community think if they read a lot of these male bashing sites? How would they view us as Black Women? Would it kill their desire to even BE with a black woman, and if they grew up to be Black Men that looked to other women, then they will be quickly labeled sellouts or what have you. The reason so much is on the WOMAN is because we are the FIRST teachers, but what we teach isn’t always correct, we teach based off our emotions at times, blaming the man, but not being honest enough to look at ourselves.
