To see women with men who looked like they just got out of prison while you have a graduate degree from one of the best universities in the nation? To understand the fact that even when brothers find a sista often it's a living hell because of the attitudes, which by the way, they never can see as being problematic because it's all they have ever seen in life.

I do admit that there are sistahs who are tainted by their negative experiences with black men, so they constantly disparage them. Also, I cannot ignore the adverse effects these tirades have on black men; however, I can't see how adding to the negativity helps. If we constantly tear down each other, how can we build each other up? When you see a piece of paper on the floor, do you point it out to others who have walked by it, or do you simply pick it up? It seems like you're leaving the paper on the floor while being disgusted that it's there.
