"What is an Elite Man?"

Over the past two years, the entire country has been talking about the term "Elite Men" however I often hear it used out of context and turned into something negative and divisive which is not what its intent is. In this video, I will answer definitively what the term Elite man means so that all women can understand why they need one in their life.

Oddly enough I've never heard of the term "elite man" and I am a 39 year old woman. I think its just another term some people would love to claim to separate themselves from other folks to make them feel better. A man who treats anyone respectfully and respects himself, cares for their family and are honest hardworking is just a man---which is a great thing .

Real MEN are out there in the world without the labels written over their chest like Superman or something.

I couldn't agree with SUPERSLYFOXX1 any more. How conscious is one whom plays into the divide of a system by emphasizing on categorizing and labeling? Let's just go back to basics. How about just defining manhood which includes his critical responsibilities to himself, his family, his community, and society. These are the things that makes a MAN.

@Superslyfoxx1 Then you're agreeing with him... By using the term "Real MEN" you've done the same thing as he, all you've done is switch the words around. Stop nitpicking, I understand that what this man is saying does sound a bit systematic but you both feel the same way about the same thing. No matter how you look at it, you both feel the same way about this subject the only thing that you've changed is the level of modesty if you will and an "elite" or "real" man wouldn't separate himself.

There needs to be a wide spread promotion of the ELITE MAN in the wider black community.

@superslyfoxx1 There is such a thing as an "Elite Man". For example Proverbs 31:10 describes a capable wife with specific characteristics that separate her from the average woman. The capable wife is not just a "Woman" she is a desirable woman with high moral values and a Godly disposition that most women do not have. This verse in the bible was written with "Elite Men" (so-to-speak) in mind, to look for and choose women with these qualities. Not that men or women label themselves as "Elite".

This is from the 1950's. Out of date and obsolete. An ELITE man is now the master crinimal, the one who knows how to steal, murder, etc and get away with it. Our top politicians, businessmen, celebrities, are all like this. It has absolutely nothing to do with morals, etc. Good is BAD and BAD is good.

[psychmaj323]

you're absolutely correct here! But women also will need to watch out for men who claim to be Godly but aren't living as so, many Christian men behave in similar patterns as folks who are not. So, words and actions have to be taken into consideration

Those two top comments are comical!

When one of your girl friends beat on their chest talking about how "STRONG & INDEPENDENT" they are - I'm sure y'all don't say shit to correct them or fuss over 'labels' .

Shit, women like y'all coined the phrase "GOOD BLACK MEN"

But the moment this dude asserts what an elite man is?

..Instead of listening. Y'all focus on contradicting him & tellin him what he 'meant' to say.

..Only to end up sayin the same shit he said!

You 2 are a fuckin joke, LOL!

[superslyfoxx1]

@chiefnavarro1 okay..

[chiefnavarro1]

@superslyfoxx1 well seeing how those women caused the mess they are in and the men they were messing with were the cause of being born to a women like the women they were messing with, yes those real men should be praised for breaking a cycle that the women before him caused.

[superslyfoxx1]

@chiefnavarro1 Well thats cool if you feel like being a man needs special attention extra perks and glitter fallen upon men. I wish women who raise children all alone, have jobs, cook and clean and basically kill themselves could get the same cape on their back. People should live the best way they can live and the validation will come within stronger families. Women being stronger since the 70s does not demonize men. It helps build stronger unions.

[chiefnavarro1]

@superslyfoxx1 i dont think thats fair, since the 70 when second wave feminism came into being being a man has been demonized. i think its fair to wear a S on your chest if you are a real man in this day and age
