The Source For Black Male Perspective
If you’re a man like me, you’ve known this woman. You’ve bought her drinks at the bar, she’s sat across the table from you on dates, and she’s laid next to you in bed. She’s been a lover, a significant other, a friend with benefits. She’s perfect, possessed with everything you might ever desire in [...]
I’ve got tons of friends, but contrary to the way others might approach their friends, I manage my friends with expectations. Some people use categories such as; associates, acquaintances, homies, friends, or whatever other terms they develop to explain their relationship with a person, but I use expectations. For this very reason, there are many [...]
Today’s post is a Guest Post from a good friend of mine, Ayanna Abrams, Psy. D. She graduated from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, and is completing a postdoctoral fellowship as a Psychotherapist at Emory University Student Counseling Ctr. I thought this would be a good way to present this post. I had long thought about [...]
Not too long after graduating college, an ex-girlfriend from back home asked me why I didn’t come around anymore and why I didn’t spend time with my best friend from high school. I didn’t have an answer, the best response I could come up with was “I think we’ve grown apart.” The truth was, I [...]
Your television set is obsessed with showing you other people’s faults so that you spend time telling yourself that you’re at least better than that person. That’s why reality TV is so popular and the shows have nothing to do with where they began. Think about this logically, the shows that we grew up watching [...]
Before my laptop crashed, I had a list of people who made it without college degrees. I wasn’t talking about people who dropped out of Ivy League schools. People always want to point to Mark Zuckerberg and say, “See you don’t need a degree to succeed.” My reply, “Aight bet, just get into an Ivy [...]
As men, one of the things we like to spend our time doing is categorizing. We put everything into categories from our sports, to our music to our women. I’ve gotten to know my fair share of women in my life, so in today’s post I want to discuss 5 archetypical women I’ve known and [...]
In the past month a few things have happened, three to be exact; the NFL Lockout ended, all of our enemies are officially “non-muthaf*cking factors”, and the reunion episode of Basketball Wives has aired. Your first question is, “What does the lockout have to do with anything?” It’s fairly simple, after the NBA Finals [...]
A while back, I was asked by a website (which will remain nameless) with a predominately African American audience to write a post about why I find black women beautiful. I passed on that unpaid opportunity. Not because I don’t think black women are beautiful, they are. I passed because the idea of dedicating an [...]
I never understood why they send kids to those “camps” when it seems like they might be gay growing up. I imagine that it’s a bunch of people all sitting around you praying and telling you who you should be. The church is good for that type of behavior. Well, last week I think I [...]
