As I recently watched my Sunday morning fix of “My Black is Beautiful,” I was shocked by Dr. Tiy-E Muhammad’s advice to black women: “Stop being ‘so independent and show your vulnerability.'” The licensed psychologist admonished that black women don’t show that they “need” black men and that is why they are single. While I respect the fact that Dr. Tiy-E, a fellow native Chicagoan who recently found “fame” as Sheree Whitfield’s love interest on the Real Housewives of Atlanta, is licensed and I am only a self-proclaimed psychologist, I strongly disagree with him. Could it be that black men are actually tripping over themselves and not black women?
Here’s three things black men need to do first, before ever expecting that black women will become the vulnerable, submissive partners that it seems most black men would like:

Maybe you all need to stop having so much damn attitude and acting like your s**t don’t stink you all are so full of yourselves and REFUSE to believe you are ever part of the problem. Maybe THAT’S why you all can’t get a man.

Pollypureheart: I’m glad that I am happily married, so unfortunately, you can’t apply that rationale to me. But even for my sistas who are single, perhaps it’s by choice, considering the lack of good, quality men. I think that getting attitude from a woman should be the least of concerns for an unemployed, ex-con, like so many black men that I described in this post. Thanks for dropping by!

Pollypureheart, you’re the one that seems completely full of “so much damn attitude” and also anger. Why so angry? Clearly you have no grasp of the relationship dynamics between Black men and women. If you did you would understand that it’s a lot more complicated and in-depth than just dismissing women’s feelings as attitude and stating that Black women are full of themselves and/or acting like their “sh*t don’t stink.” So sorry you have the perspective you have- women like you have no concept of womanhood and do not understand the importance of not overgeneralizing and projecting onto an entire demographic of people.
