Message to Men: These Are The Keys to Gaining and Keeping the Respect in Your Relationship

There is this public stigma that has plagued black women for years. The stigma I am referring to is the black woman’s supposed disrespectful and controlling attitude. In the past couple of years, this specific attitude focused stigma has been singled out as one of the primary reasons why some black men flee to other races of women. As a woman, I have to admit that in theory it applies to some women but not most. However, men do play a very major part in changing a woman’s attitude during a relationship. As Sir Issac Newton’s law of physics states, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction” this is also the case for women in relationships. Outlined in this article are specific questions I would like to address to men in regards to why a woman’s attitude can change.

I’m Just Saying… #18: Mind Your Business

To most people, advice is a proposal that is given in order for a person to make an appropriate course of action. Sometimes the advice given is on a voluntary basis, but often times it is solicited.

They never really want to hear the truth about their situation. They only want someone to side with them in the grievances that they may have about their relationship or that person. For the eyes that may witness these words I strongly recommend that you mind your business, but let’s explore the reasons why.

Are You in an Imaginary Relationship?

I know without a shadow of a doubt that most of you in reading the title of this article instantly said to yourselves, “NO!” Well, I am sorry to be informing you that yourself or someone you currently know is engaging in an imaginary relationship. I have heard story after story from countless people claiming they were wronged by the opposite sex, but take a closer look at their situation and you will realize that the cause of the failure was of their own doing. The problem always lies in a word called “reality”. It never seems to exist for some people. I have three specific personalities in mind.

Message to Lil’ Kim: How Much Homage Is One Suppose To Pay?

It is the year 2010. We have a black man as president and the country is still at war. There are far more pressing issues to discuss but Lil’ Kim and Nicki Minaj apparently now have beef to cook. Why? In my opinion, it all seems to be centered on a little concept and word called “homage.”
