I watched a video of a young sister paying homage to Black men. While I agreed with what was said. I felt a sadness that went along with it. My sadness was a result of what I see and what I've seen. The Black man's condition was caused externally but they persist internally. He and only he, and not his woman, can change his condition. When his condition changes, so will that of Black women and Black children.

YOU CAN NOT SERVE TWO MASTERS.

I was talking to a friend today and was sharing with her the importance of shedding the past, accepting the past for what it is and leaving toxic things (bad memories, stale relationships, old negative employment experiences, etc) in the past. None of us will ever have the opportunity to re-live and redo bad choices, mistakes, and negative experiences. So, the question begs, why spend your present and possibly your future harping on it??? Life keeps moving forward. There is no rewind button, only play. If you're still crying over that man or woman that got away or over a "great" relationship that didn't last, please understand that it served its purpose for that time period. Move on and create new memories and enjoy new experiences... The Lion King movie is a perfect example. When Rafiki, the monkey, pops Simba over the head with his cane, Simba winces in pain and says, "Ow! What was that for?" Rafiki simply responds, "It doesn't matter. It's in the past." I like Rafiki's thinking. :)

love this channel and the way it makes me feel.

As a African male from Philly, I salute you. You are representative of what we need to see..to encourage and strengthen us as men..

Continue to vibrate positively and teach others.

Great channel!!!

Thank you and you have a great vibe in here!

Respect

realmanallen72 is blocked because his channel is devoted to Black women bashing. No wonder the Black marriage rate is down... If he represents the way the majority of Black men think, we're doomed...lol!

@realmanallen73... I appreciate your sentiments; however, the types of women you describe do not represent the majority of Black woman just like the preponderance of young Black males hanging out on street corners all day smoking weed with their pants sagging do not represent the majority of Black men. Our race is no different than all the others in that there are negative representatives in every race. For example, there are plenty of white female prostitutes (more than there are Black), but when you think of white women that's not the first thing that pops in your mind. In addition, there are more white women collecting welfare, yet no one ever dreams of calling them "welfare queens." Some of what you say does exist; however, it's much more exaggerated. Peace and Blessings unto you, my brother!

(2) I don't mean no disrespect toward you. I don't think you are like that AT ALL! But it seems to be a bit pretentious to conveniently look the other way at BEHAVIORS like this going on in OUR communities. Now, don't get me wrong, MOST of my African American Female friends could EASILY walk down the aisle with a good man, or even have dinner with you at a cotillion. Heck, we might even catch an Alviin Ailey or Garth Fagan performance at Howard U blackburn center. However, EVEN THEY also often admit that they feel TOTALLY misrepresented by the way MANY of da sisters are actin uptown in PG County. Ya dig what I'm sayin' sister? All I ASK is that MORE sisters simply express their views AGAINST the behaviors that Maury Po-bitch is using to reflect you negatively on a daily basis. A HIGHER STANDARD IS NEEDED TO SHOW OUR WOMEN THAT THEY ARE BETTER THAN THE NONSENSE! And I think you could give that an EXCELLENT start. I already see that from your page! May the Creator bless you!
