Judging the book by its color

Dear readers,

There are many misconceptions that are vocalized about black men, some of these myths come directly from black people themselves. We are told that black men don’t take care of their children, are drug dealers, and thugs. They lack ambition, cheap, financially bankrupt, don’t love sistahs, dishonest, thieves, murders, uneducated, loser, and project rats. They are on the down low, cheaters, and are still slaves to the white man. What say you about these educated, well read, self-motived, demonstrating proper etiquette young black men? I happened upon them looking through the carts of free books at BMCC. No one bribed them or promised them a reward for expanding their knowledge by reading. Take a good look at these black men. They are the next generation of Doctors, Layers, Scientist, Congressmen, Mayor, Governor, Educators, and Business men. Before lumping all black men in a barrel take a good look around, you might be amazed at what you see. I was.

The Representative

If you’re dating this type of person, a representative, here is something you need to know.

Representatives are people who show up, and portray the role of the ideal mate; or in the words of my son, ” the one this just right  for you.” This person can be a man or woman, presenting themselves as the quintessential person to have a romantic relationship with. They exhibit qualities that can woo the best of us.

The problem with these representatives is that their intentions are wrong, and they are not who they say they are. Their primary goal is to mislead, scheme, deceive, breakdown, and destroy their victims, while pretending to engage in a meaningful relationship. when these representatives have accomplished their mission, they move on leaving behind a path of emotional and financial bankrupt people; who have no idea until it’s too late that they’ve been bamboozled by a Representative
