DEAR BLACK MAN...I WANT AND NEED YOU
Dear Black Man,
Don’t you know that I want to love you. I want my love to be your love. I know that they tell me that there aren’t enough of you out there for me to love, but that’s never been my vision nor reality. I know that they tell me you don’t have the education that I have, but I know to the contrary.
For years I have told you, that “I got this. I don’t need your help.” But today, with my advance degrees, robust portfolio and home full of the best furnishings, I realize, Black Man, I need you.
No, I am not afraid to say this. I want and need you. I need you like the ocean needs its beaches. Miles of sand that lead love hand in hand to the water. Water, that we need to sustain life.
I need you in my life, I need you in my laughter. I want you to protect me from my fears. My Daddy wants to still protect me, but he also knows that this is your job to do…he’s told me this before.
Now they want to tell me that it’s partly my fault. They tell me that I ask far too much of my Black Man. “Why must this Man that you ask for have education?” and “Why must this Black Man have ambition and drive?” This is what they inquire. They ask me these questions as if you don’t exist. As if you are extinct. But I know to the contrary.
Not only do you exist, you flourish. Your ability to grow and achieve inspite of your conditions is your best attribute. Yes, I want the best and greatest from you, because I know that within you, it exists.
Black Man, I love you. I want you. I need you. But do know this Black Man, I’ll expect nothing but the best from you. You shouldn’t want it any other way. I love you, but I love me too. I’ll never succumb my condition for yours. Why would you want me to?
Come to me with your frustrations of the day, I’ll ease them away with the softest touch to your brow; the most tender touch, indeed. I’ll massage the evening away in your shoulders. And I’ll be quiet tonight, because I know you need touch not words. I’ll let that project that you’ve been promising to get to, wait until next week. I’ll contain my fright when I see the “Daddy-long-legs” in the basement; because I know that tonight is not the night. Your worries have been intense today, and because of that, the centipede gets a couple more days of freedom and life.
I am here for you on your WORST days, but promise me, that you won’t leave me on your BEST ones. If we can make that pact with each other, I guarantee you that you have a deal. I will love you Black Man, no matter what they tell me. I know what I want and need. I want and need, you, Black Man- contrary to popular belief.
With Love,
The Black Woman

I understand what she is trying to comvey.. but I don't like this piece at all.. it sounds too needy. As if, she is begging Black Men on behalf of all Black Women to see that we are worthy and to come back to their own race.. If men started using the head on top of their shoulders, instead of the one in between their legs and look at their mothers, grandmothers, aunts or whomever the strong Black Woman in their world is/was, then they would realize that since the beginning of time we have been in their corner! They fell off, not us!!

*sigh* black women, we need to stop with the overflowing praise and affection we tend to shower on black men whether they are deserving or not. This is why so many of them think far too highly of themselves. It's time for us to stop lauding praises on black men as if they are some sort of ideal because they are black and start seeking out GOOD men, be they black or not.
we've held them up, carried them on our backs even, for far too long and defended them against all others. yet all i see now is black men of all sorts coming out in droves to s*** on us with glee. the utter disrespect i see these days - it's in no way deserved and there's no excuse for it.
wake up, people. a letter about a black woman's utter love for and devotion to black men are the last thing we need right now.

My opinion/comment/statement/view stated here, in any other discussion or in real life is NOT SPECIFIC TO ALL MEN. This is a generalization, lighten up! Im not a male basher, and I dont think that all men are bad. What I DO KNOW is that SOME MEN have fallen short of their role in the Black household, community and society. Men today don't have the same characteristics, traits, priorities, or values that say... my Great-Grandfather did. It works both ways, there is fault in both men and women. Unfortunately, its been identified, documented, statistically reported, and proven almost on a daily basis thru various media outlets, that the bulk of the problems/issues begin with the Black Man.
