I'm not going to spend to much time on this topic only because it is the topic of conversation every where else. But for those of you who are not in the know, I'll take the time to bring you up to speed. Rapper, producer Slim Thug interviewed with Vibe magazine and expressed his thoughts on black men and women.
"Most single Black women feel like they don’t want to settle for less. Their standards are too high right now. They have to understand that successful Black men are kind of extinct. We’re important. It’s hard to find us so Black women have to bow down and let it be known that they gotta start working hard; they gotta start cooking and being down for they man more. They can’t just be running around with their head up in the air and passing all of us."
Some of you may strongly disagree with his views, but I have to agree with him whole heartily. In the Bible Adam was persuaded by Eve to eat fruit from the forbidden Tree of Life. There are many stories in the Bible where the women where used a source of enlightenment and much help in hard times for the men of the Bible through their own acts of hardships and persecutions, and with much reward in the end. It's a known fact that woman are smarter than man, and with that being said we have to build our men up and have their backs just as much as we expect for them to have our backs. We are all flawed beings with much more to learn from each other and God than we could ever learn alone. If this is not the foundation for any relationship, than why would one's wedding vows include "for better or for worse". Statistics make it clear that not allot of people understand this thus the high divorce rate. I'm not saying to lower your standards because there is a standard for each on of us. But each individual on each "status level" is just as flawed as the next with not one sin being greater than the other. That's just me and that's all I can give you on that.
