You very statement is extremely DIVISIVE and your kind of thinking is a very good example of one major reason for a continual Black Disunity

 

Good, maybe we DO need more division in our community.
But divided along the RIGHT lines.

 

 

And, that would be the wrong kind of division @Pioneer1

Before establishing any non-familial relationships, AfroAmerican men and women should have their sh8t together (mental, physical, financial, spiritual) to the highest degree. 

 

@ProfD True, but I think that is unrealistic, though, for the most part, unfortunately. 

Today, a lot of relationships are made between people that are not balanced no matter what culture, imo, and that's a reality.

And, if I am right on this, then what can be done to help us, as Black folk gain self-confidence and then engage in healthy relationships as a whole, whether with a Black mate or non-Black?

 

As for me, personally, I was ready for my relationship with my husband. I was mature before we met and had several marriage proposals before him. So when he came along, I knew I was ready.
