THERE ARE SO MANY SHORT-COMINGS THAT I COULD SIT HERE AND LIST ABOUT BLACK MEN AS TO WHY BLACK WOMEN SHOULD LOOK TO OTHER RACES, BUT I DONT/WONT...SIMPLY BECAUSE I KNOW ALL BLACK MEN CANNOT BE CATOGORIZED/STEREOTYPED. I KNOW YOU SAID ONCE BEFORE THAT YOU ARE MAKING REFERENCE TO THE BLACK WOMEN YOU OR YOUR FRIENDS HAVE ENCOUNTERED, BUT AS I READ MORE OF YOUR POSTS, THE MORE GENERALIZED THEY ARE BECOMING TOWARDS ALL BLACK WOMEN. THE BLACK WOMEN YOU HAVE ENCOUNTERED DO NOT REPRESENT ALL BLACK WOMEN AND SHOULD A BLACK MAN CHOOSE TO BE WITH A WHITE WOMAN, THAT IS HIS CHOICE SIMPLY PUT...MAYBE THATS JUST HIS PREFERENCE AND JUST MAYBE HIS PREFERENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT A BLACK WOMAN HAS DONE TO HIM IN THE PAST...ITS NOT A WISE MOVE TO POST (CONTINUOUSLY) DEROGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT BLACK WOMEN ON A MESSAGE BOARD THAT YOU KNOW HAS BLACK WOMEN ON IT. SEEMS TO ME THAT THE WOMEN ON THIS BOARD HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH MEN- WHITE, BLACK OR OTHERWISE, AND IF SO, FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN, THEY HAVE KEPT THEIR GRIPES TO THEMSELVES OR TO A MINIMUM. YOU'VE STATED HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT US (BLACK WOMEN) ALREADY, WE KNOW WHERE YOU STAND, CANT WE JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT FROM THIS POINT ON? IT SEEMS THAT YOU HAVE HAD SOME PROBLEMS IN THE PAST WITH BLACK WOMEN, INSTEAD OF CONSTANTLY PUNISHING US (BFRU BLACK WOMEN) YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER FINDING WHATEVER BOARD THOSE BLACK WOMEN FREQUENT AND LET THEM KNOW HOW YOU FEEL! :mad:

I NOW RETURN YOU TO MY NORMAL, LOVABLE SELF ;D
