Brothers Say They Wanna Be "The Man"
But what does that mean exactly or should I say what does that entail?
I read several articles about relationships and communication between black men and black women. I came across a few articles that vaguely try to explain why black men date outside their race and others that talk about their issues with black women.
In almost all of the articles I read, the resounding words 'black women will not allow a black man to be the man' keeps poppin up. So ask my brothers, what do you mean and what does being 'the man' entail?

'black women will not allow a black man to be the man'...
Perhaps this is an excuse for men not to commit to any one woman... at least that's what it sounds partly to me. Then again there are some women who could be at fault, but every individual scenario is different. It truly takes two people to make a relationship work; moreove, I think that these articles are so worthless in the way they attempt to group Black relationships into one big basket and apply the same solutions for every one of our relationship situations. I think that’s insane.
Listen to this utube clip Sister Cassandra, because I feel that we as women need to listen really well to decipher what potential suitors say to us before we get involved too deeply with them and we also need to look at all details of their lives before we commit our hearts to them. In doing so, we won't get stuck with men who say silly things like "Black Women will not allow them to be men".
