What is a good black man?

I hear this "I'm a good black man" line quite often nowadays. The black men that use this "I'm a good black man" rhetoric are usually the ones who can't get no pussy, don't got no money, don't have no game, don't got no style, etc. They blame thugs for they're lack of desirability just as black women blame black men for all of their issues. For example; when these men get rejected by black women and see these women with black men that perceive as being thugs. They make sense of this they assume that black women only reject them because they're not thugs. When the truth is black women are rejecting them because they perceive them as being lame all across the board.

When black women and the white media come out with their anti black man rhetoric these men are usually the ones that distinguish themselves from the masses of black men and reinforces the hatred towards us in general. They usually use their personal accomplishments to elevate their social economic status at the expense of the majority of black men. They want people to believe that they're the cream of the crop when in reality they are just mediocre men. This is disgraceful in my opinion and not just because these frauds are putting down their own. It's disgraceful simply because other races have used black people to boost their social economic status. I don't see why any black man with any sense of pride would want the world to believe that most of us ain't shit and they're the exception. It's pitiful in my opinion.

Another thing that I can't stand about these good black men. Is that they use white women to make black women jealous. I've seen these poor excuses of men say shit like "black women like thugs and they don't want good black men that's why I started dating white women" or "white women stuck with by me when black women wouldn't." These niggas already know that the thought of a white woman getting a decent black man throws black women into a rage. These niggas ain't dating white women because they love them. They're doing it for reasons that have nothing to do with love. We already have people who's going out their way to devalue black men and white women unions. But when bitch mutherfuckas like the ones I've described come out their mouths and say she like this it's almost like white chick saying that she only dates black guys because they got big dicks. Those type of statements don't represent black men who prefer white women or white women prefer black men.

I want to tell ya something that's coming straight from my heart. There is nothing I love more than being nigga. I love exactly who and what I am. When it comes to my black brothers I love all of you. I love my street niggas, my jail birds, my black male scholars, my black male athletes and entertainers, my blue collar niggas, and my white collar niggas. All I want is good things for all of us. The last thing I want is to see black men hating on other black men because we're different from one another. We're in a country where we're surrounded by enemies. I think of whites, Latinos, Asians, Indians, and Native American men and women dislike us in general. So what sense does it make for us to be hating each other?

 

Good luck with this one brotha...

I'm not looking for you to wish me luck. I would rather you define what makes a black man good.

 

This is a prime example of what talking about.

 

I know. It's a flawed premise though.

 

^^

 

Should I give you some examples of the type of men I'm talking about? I can show you hundreds of these dudes right now.

 

No, that's not necessary.

 

Your every day, hardworking person is what a good black man is, which is what most black people and everybody else is. I don't like the good black man shit, because we aren't some endangered species.

 

And I do believe non-blacks buy into that "good black man" shit, as well. I've seen several blacks(me included) have somebody(usually white) say some shit like "you're the whitest black guy I know", or you're "so white", or "you're not like most blacks", or something about having a cool black friend, as opposed to just their mufuckin' friend. Hell, my friend told me a couple days ago that he was proud of me for going to the army and me about to get my AA and some other shit. I was like "uhhh, what?" Then he's like "you know, because for every one of you, there are 10 Aaron Fields(some lazy black dude we went to high school with who doesn't work or go to school and freeloads)" and I was like "Dude, Arron Fields isn't representative of all black people. Fuck that shit." 10 to 1 ratio my ass.


I don't want people to be happy for me that I'm doing something for my race as simple as taking my ass to community fucking college. People say that shit and expect you to take it as a compliment, like it's not a big "fuck you" to the rest of your race. Hell, this one chick a few years ago said I was "really well spoken"(and yeah, she was racist, and admitted it). I'm thinking "why the hell are you surprised". The only time that shit doesn't piss me off is when somebody says I speak well for a stutterer and work thorugh my speaking pretty well.




Do I hear this kind of stuff all the time? No, but it's not something that happened just a few times.

Mufuckas wanna act all nice and be your friend when you aren't one of the "usual blacks" or "usual suspects". This shit played out countless times back in high school.

 

:smt085

who thinks like this let alone talks like this?! People are fuckin' stupid.

 

I knew some people in high school like that. Some of them were my friends. Not close friends, but friends, nonetheless.


Welcome to America.

 

Makes me ashamed to be associated by race with such ignorance.

 

Sometimes, I feel the same way about black folk's ignorance.

 

You have a point. In an ideal world, we'd all be judged on our own individual merits.

 

Oh, how sweet that would be.


Ah well.

 

How did you fuck up then correctly use the possessive "their" in the same sentence? A good black man would've caught that.

 

:smt043

 

wow, I didnt even catch that. thats funny but we dont need to dwell on that too long. LOL

yeah it cuts both ways .... the good black man phrase. It is as tho we should get a cookie for getting a job or something. BW need to get a grip on reality. that is what they need. the reality is that BM are not obligated to date/marry them because they are black.

we just have an obligation to our wives and children. end of story
