Statistically its true. Black woman at least have the highest rate of being single mothers. Probably cuz all the black folk are to busy smokin crack and slammin jungle pussy to have a family! hahaha
True!@ I'd rather be single and happy than miserable and married. I hear that! I've watched my mother go through too many bad relationships (and still going through it) just to be in a relationship and not single. She even was engaged to a man just to say she was engaged knowing the relationship wasn't good anyway. SMDH ladies know your worth!
Girl, you know it! There are more women than men on the Earth, especially in America. Then, when looking at the south eastern region....SMH! Most of the single black women I know don't hold high standards, which means people expect you to lower standards that aren't high. What ab.....NO!
The thing that piss me off is the fact that black women would even get on television and help participate in this craziness. Like those women on that FOX NEWS episode! Im like come onnnnnn now! Dont make us look even worse than what media already portray us as. Black women got to stop going along with this in the public. That would be a first step in clearing up this madness!
WONDERFUL video. It's hilarious that Black women will give these raggedy "experts" their hard-earned $ in order to hear people (namely raggedy Black men) tell them they ain't shyt. That pretend doctor with that donut-shaped hair pattern from RHOA pissed me off too.
P.S. You look pretty and have excellent taste in snacks (e.g. Nilla wafers), lol.
I totally agree....I think media loves to view us as, black women, "difficult" from our attitudes to our hair and even our relationships. I am 23 married for 2 years to a Mexican gentleman and the feedback that I often get is "oh you had to go outside of your race because black men aren't any good". This is not the case however I believe we stereotype our black relationships. there are a lot of bad men and good men of all races.
IMO: Let's not lower our standards. Instead let's open our dating pool. There are plenty quality men that are not black. Ladies, give them a chance too.
Balding fooly....LMAO!! I agree the good doc was lacking in tact. BW are single bc we are choosing to be with the best man for us! BW have always been under the microscope for every negative study done on this planet! SO SICK OF PPL & their views on us.Can't just be a woman who wants quality or to NOT have a house full of kids w/o a husband?I'm not going to accept bulls$#% to say I have a husband.Been married & it is so overrated especially when some can't respect the sanctity of matrimony.
i dont watch the "housewives of ATL" for other reasons..but, i heard that 'doctor' is not even a real doctor and got fired from the college he was a professor @ when they found out his credentials are fake. I warn my little sister all the time to not take the first guy who asks her to marry them. I've been married for 7yrs so I am doing great. But I know a lady who married a guy who doesnt have a job and she was so desperate to just 'be married'. She is stressed with bills and miserable now.
@mrsjlong Regarding the "doctor", are you kidding me? I wouldn't be shocked since he spoke terribly, but to take your butt on national tv with that foolishness? Lmbo!
@brwnbarbie24 Yes, darling..I am soooo serious...He was a professor at a university and then he went on the reality show "Gilligans Island" as the professor also. All the girls at the college swooned over him. They even had a picture in the blog about his fakeness. He used to have dreads and they did a dreadful number on his crown area of his hair...they were very long and I see that he has a low cut now..someone commented on the blog picture, like " did he SNATCH his dreads out?" ..LMBO...
I agree! Ha, ha, do you realize you say "for 1..." alot? Still waiting for 2,3,4,5,...lol! But I feel ya...I'm tired of the branding...it's hard for alot of women...period!
Tell em girl! If I can't get quality, I don't want it. What God has for me, it is for me. If being me (as God called me to be in terms of standards and dignity) involves/entails being single, so be it! I can do 'bad' all by myself. I'm not even looking for a 'man' anymore. I'm looking for a fellow aspiring spiritual giant who HAPPENS to be male. No less.
@TrueHealth27 And, come to think of it, it might be good for OTHER women to take notes! Cause from what I've seen, the main reason why THEIR rates are lower is 'cause they don't have cultural traditions that demonstrate to them that is is neither valid nor OK that, just because they're women, they should be treated like 'trophies/objects', and/or 'doormats'!! Luckily, having worked those plantations as EQUALS with men, Af Am women CLEARLY established that! Our ancestors were warrior queens!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for saying that. They keep beatin the dead horse. I listen to TJMS M-F when I'm at work and I sick of hearing Jacquie Reed complaining about it and it goes on and on. Now, I just turn off or turn down whenever I hear a story about this subject.
girl i so feel u! why are black women being called out when the reason all revolve around all you said. its so annoying!!! with all this negative talk about us just puts out poor images of us which are false! we need a book written about why black men have self hate or why do we have a epidemic of down low brothers. i just am so over it!
Or these shows saying black women shouldn't look for a black man, they should settle and date outside their race. Women outnumber men in so many other races, e.g China ,yet we don't see other races having these ridiculous conversations. What about the rate of divorce in white households. If people fall in love outside their race, that's great but why are black woman scrutinized as wanting something different than any other woman. As a matter of fact i think this media attention is detrimental.
I did not see the ABC show about this. I will stay single until I know that I am with the right man for me. He may not be a black man, he may be hispanic or asian. I don't know. I do know that I'm not dealing with any more b.s.
I soo agree with you. Thank you for sharing your experience too!! I also agree with what you say: it's better to be singe and happy than miserable and in a relationship. As your followers, we only know a portion of your life/personality and even from that, personally you have inspired me to be happy just doing me and not waiting for anybody <3
Girl I feel u on this topic! That guy (I really have to question if he is a dr) Sheree is dating really made me mad when he said that ketchup and afro thing!
Also it made me made that he was talking about why black women can't find a good black man when he obviously isn't in a committed relationship! You know Sheree is gonna dump him in the next couple of episodes anyways lol
@radiant812, that puzzles me too. All of these so-called relationship experts are either single their damn selves or have had multiple marriages/divorces. According to my research, Da Lub Docktah is single with 2 kids.
It's probably wrong for me to reference Bad Girls Club lol..but...one girl said something that stood out to me. She said "men know their worth." It's true. If a man knows he's not worth a damn...he is well aware. And if a man know he's a great man...he knows it and expects a just as great, if not better women. Men are expected to have high standards, but they want women to lower thiers smh. I'd rather stay single with my high standards..as many women do. Good topic...I'm over it just as you are
