Thank you man. I was ready to continue the arguement then I read your comments and they on point. No matter who you are in this world, and no matter what kind of stereo types you have against you or what your ancestors had to deal with you still gotta progress in life for yourself despite those things put on you. And believe it or not, everybody including white people got burdens place on them and DON'T get everything in life exactly like they want it to be. Do what you have to do because it's going to benefit you and your family the best, and afterwards don't look for the recognition look for the initial goal that you had to be accomplished. As far as understanding each others struggle that's impossible. Black females think they have it worst while males think they have it worst so how can we understand it? My mother had to raise me, my sister, and my brother for just about all of our lives by ourself, which had to be a hardship, but she overcame. My brother, sister, and I had to grow up without a father which wasn't a hard thing. Yea, women were forced to play that role too, but really NOTHING can replace a father figure like a father figure. Me and my brother especially had to go through life with that void. My brother is not doing great and I know he would of made it a lot better in life if my father didn't leave us, but on the bright side I'm on the road to sucess and I'm sure he won't be left running in the same place his entire life. The fact is, both of us got struggles and no matter what we both gotta deal with it. You were on point Tres.
...i think out in the world concerning jobs and education...or even excelling in life...black men do have a hard time...Black Women have come so far that we kind of surpassed our Black Men...gettin better jobs and better respect out in the Job and Education fields...but i think thats also very much due to the fact that there are many black men who RUIN it for good Black men and their recovery is much harder for them as it would be for us....HOWEVER...considering the amount of things and crap black women must go through...pregnancy, periods, or things concerning our bodies....also television...the media...the image they created for women....it is also HARD for us...but its hard in a differect aspect...I do agree that black men are the most imitated which leads to stereotypes and further hardships....
but who hasnt had it hard?? there are people outside the united states that face WAY more than we do....
count ur blessings
