What Part of the Game is That? The Myth of Black men being Intimidated by Strong Black Women


Wassup yall. You all have heard somebody say it one time or another. "He is just intimidated by a strong independent Black woman" or "He cant handle a woman like me". Some either said it to us in sour grape mode or when Black women generally talk about Black men in relationships in today's world.

Brothers we have been sold out. Sold out by the man. Sold out by some of the brothers. Sold out by our sisters. Its okay, because hey strange enough, we should expect it, given our history in the country.

Black women, we love you. We love you strong. We love you weak. Stop trying to be stronger than us. That's the problem. While I will agree that some men have dropped the ball. All of us haven't. Don't exclude us because you think that we dont fit your bill. And who told you what a real man is supposed to be like. What is he supposed to think? Where does he suppose to come from?

Ladies, seriously. Does our credit have be 800? Do we have to spend all our free time with you? Do I have give up my female friends? Must I already have a home, so I can sell it or move out of it and we buy a home together? Must I be 6 foot tall? Must I have a 6 pack? How long will good men have to hear these kind of conversations? Do you really need to know what I am doing with savings accounts. Do you really need to know where am I going to be in 5 years?

All these questions. Is this what it means to be with a strong woman? I doubt it. Truthfully, its not an issue of your strength. Some of yall just have bad attitudes. When you cannot get what you want, you pout. You call up your girls. You watch bunch men hating movies and listen to a bunch of men hating songs. Just because you can loud talk, dont make you strong. Trust me, your breath is stronger.

I say we go back to the drawing board.
After all, where you going.
You not gonna settle.
I figure to get all the things you think you want, its going to take about 5 years. Good luck trying to find Mr. Right.
