Do Black men value their Black women?

This is a topic that many people are compelled to talk about. Do Black men value their Black women? In history such as the endless fighting during the Jim Crow era Black women can be seen tending to their men. Always being the ones at home who are holding everything together. Just like today with the Black Lives Matter movement Black women are always at the protests fighting for their Black men. For some reason in today's society in our culture and music, Black men are always looking for the "baddest woman." They want the long, real hair light skinned girl or the exotic girl from the Caribbean. A lot of hate is turned towards Black women describing us as bitter, loud, or angry. As soon as we show any emotion this is what is told back to us. Again, I'm not saying that all Black men feel this way as I know many people who are in beautiful Black relationships. I'm just saying do our men appreciate us like we appreciate them? In a video I watched by a blogger by the name of Funky Dineva he mentioned a study about  Black men and women. Black men on dating apps were more likely to respond to women of a different race than their own. Whereas Black women likely responded to Black men more than others. It is very interesting and worth talking about. The link I provide will link to the discussion, video, and study!


Enjoy!

Date who you want!

Sometimes as women we aren't told to date men on our level. Sometimes we aren't able to have higher standards because as women we should just deal with whatever. Why is it that men can have trophy wives and strive to have the best looking woman? As woman we should be able to say no! We may be seen as "bougie" or having standards that are too high but that's okay, we should be allowed to hold ourselves to a higher value. It isn't wrong to want a man who is has a degree, who is financially stable and has a future. As soon as women start noticing their value then some of us may not feel regret or feel bad for ending up in a bad situation in the future. I'm not saying that some of the men with our ideal standards won't be a problem, I'm just saying we can have those ideals without feeling bad.

Here's a link to 6 things that women may accept from a man who aren't at their "level"

"My crown may tilt, but it will never fall!"

This blog will be dedicated to all the women who feel as though they need the strength to keep going. Sometimes if not all the time it is hard to be a woman. We have to put up with so much and then are given back little to nothing. This isn't a blog about complaining but rather focusing on what is wrong and then overcoming the struggle. It's about being a strong woman, and for me its being a strong Black woman in a nation where we might not be appreciated as much as others. It is about being the woman I always knew I could be. I hope to inspire other woman to make it through the day, and know that they are worth it too.
