David McGruder Morehouse College class of 2010 WOW!!! beautiful blog from a beautiful sistah’....your truth speaks volumes. IT GOT ME THINKIN’ cuz there is an interrelated problem associated with your blog. Dig this right here...the depreciation of our SISTAH’s is a problem for the African-American race TRUE (as you so eloquently stated) BUT the most serious of African-American pathologies is the routinization of illegitimacy as a way of life. Today at work I waz readin my VIBE and this writer (HER NAME SLIPS MY MIND) wrote a piece on “BABY MAMA DRAMA” or some bull**** like that, what got me was that this sistah’ has an opportunity to use her pen to speak to the masses and denounce the practice of “BABY MAKIN”...but wit some 5 paragraphs of rhetorical flourishes this woman arrives at a neutral zone...not going either way!!! I cannot as a BLACK see how the fact that 70% of young black children born in the U.S. today are illegitimate coupled with the fact that some 65% of black households are run by female is not a red flag for us as a people to “STAND-UP and Listen”. It’s a major problem when illegitimacy is normalized both, statistically and morally. BUT AGAIN THE BLAME FALLS ON THE MEN. In most societies a young man cannot just readily impregnate a woman and leave because they are protected by their fathers and male relatives....FOOD 4 THOUGHT!!! We cannot sit-by and allow our race to ethically deteriorate and morally corode....SO MUCH TO SAY but time and space will not allow it to be so...so.....YA’LL GET AT ME davidm_preach@yahoo.com Peace & Understanding, PREACH Thursday, June 22nd 2006 at 9:57PM

WILLIAM W. HEMMANS III Florida A&M University class of 1995 Amen Sis and there are brutha's out there that still reverence Black Women.I pray that more sistahs will grow to think like you because they play a major role also and do not realize the domino affects they play for all black women. Those types I call females anyway. But honestly I as well as many black men have been caught up with those types... Saturday, June 24th 2006 at 2:27PM
