In all of my blogs about relationships and stuff, I purposely make a distinction between males and “good men.” In the course of me writing and talking to people, I’ve been asked (mainly by males) What is a good man? I really had to think about it, because there is no blanket answer. I’ve every guy I’ve dated was a good guy, but not necessarily a good man. Some guys are good men but just because he’s a good guy doesn’t make him the right good man you me (or you). So what is a good man?

With the recent statistics about Young black girls and STDs it seems like sex in the Black community is on everyone’s mind. Last year we all debated the responsibility of rap and hip hop in continuing the objectification of black women. Now everyone’s interested in the black church’s role of lack thereof in sexual education. Read the rest of this entry ?

*Disclaimer- Since I failed to do so the last time I will warn you that this is not targeted towards anyone particulary any men that I know or that are in my life. The men I know are wonderful and would never be gulity of such foolishness. 
According to the Urban League’s State of Black America Report, Black Women are facing both the best and worst times in our history. Condi’s historically high position in the current presidential administration, Michelle Obama being hailed as the new “Jackie Kennedy O.” and Oprah just being Oprah, just a few examples of modern black female achievement. Business owned by black women increased by 147% in the last ten years and sistas are working more than brothas nationwide. And yet we are suffering. Read the rest of this entry ?
This letter was featured on the Steve Harvey Morning show today. A friend of mine was so outraged that she asked me to post it to see what other people think about it. Is this the way men think about fidelity? Speak on it!!
DEAR STEVE,
WHATS UP MAN IM WRITING IN TODAY TO GET ANOTHER MALE PERSPECTIVE ON A SITUATION. I’VE BEEN MARRIED NOW FOR 11 YEARS AND I’VE CHEATED ON MY WIFE BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED, AND AFTER WE GOT MARRIED. WELL RECENTLY I’VE DECIDED TO STOP WITH ALL THE LIES AND CHEATING BECAUSE I’VE FATHERED 4 KIDS DURING MY MARRIAGE BY OTHER WOMEN, SO I DECIDED TO CONFESS MY SINS TO MY WIFE AND REPENT. WELL AFTER I DID SHE BROKE DOWN AND TOLD ME THAT SHE WANTED A DIVORCE, I DID THE USUAL BEGGING AND APOLOGIZING TO GET HER TO STAY, I EVEN PROMISED THAT WE CAN GO TO MARRIAGE COUNSELING TOGETHER. WELL I SLIPPED AGAIN BUT ONLY ONCE AND THAT WAS A WHILE AGO AND I HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL EVER SINCE, HOWEVER A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO MY WIFE OF 11 YEARS CAME TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT SHE’S PREGNANT, NOW THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT IF THE CHILD WAS MINE BUT I KNOW ITS NOT BECAUSE SHE REFUSED TO SLEEP WITH ME EVER SINCE I TOLD HER ABOUT THE CHEATING SO WHEN SHE CAME TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS PREGNANT BY ANOTHER MAN I CLICKED. I GOT SO ENRAGED THAT I THREW HER AND ALL OF HER CLOTHES OUT, I TOLD HER I WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF ANOTHER MANS CHILD AND SINCE SHE HAD THE NERVE TO NOT ONLY CHEAT ON ME BUT TO DO IT WITH NO PROTECTION THEN SHE NEEDS TO GO AND BE WITH HIM!!! NOW DON’T GET ME WRONG YES I DID DO THE EXACT SAME THING MORE THAN ONCE HOWEVER SHE DON’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT MY OUTSIDE KIDS THAT I FATHERED SO SHE CAN’T EVEN BRING THAT UP. BESIDES ITS DIFFERENT FOR A MAN TO CHEAT THAN A WOMAN, SHE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE MY WIFE AND BE MY WIFE AND BE FAITHFUL TO ME AND ME ONLY. I SUSPECTED HER OF CHEATING THOUGH BECAUSE WE WAS A COUPLE THAT HAD TO HAVE SEX AT LEAST 5 TIMES A WEEK AND AFTER I CONFESSED SHE DIDN’T WANT TO DO IT ANYMORE. ANYWAY STEVE MAN PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK I SHOULD DO BECAUSE AFTER I TOLD MY MOMMA WHAT HAPPENED SHE CURSED ME OUT AND TOLD ME THAT IM NO SON OF HERS, BUT I EXPECTED THAT REACTION FROM A WOMAN, SO STEVE MAN-TO-MAN WHAT DO YOU THINK? AM I WRONG? BESIDES BACK IN THE DAY MEN USE TO HAVE 10 AND 15 DIFFERENT WIFES AND I SAID I WAS SORRY!
Well what do you think? is there a double standard when it comes to fidelity? is it justified??
