June Bug, you are correctamundo........Jacque Reid's external attributes are beautiful. But as far as her overall character, relationship and marriage potential???.....does anybody really know if what really counts "under the hood" is just as beautiful? I always notice in the media.....when women have troubles in life and especially trouble with men, they are always coddled and felt sorry for. Thats when you hear someone tell them......."you know, you are a beautiful girl/woman/young lady, and you deserve better than that" Just because the female is beautiful externally, she deserves something for that? |

Thanks Memdear. I'm sure you see as I do that people are quite entertaining when we pay close attention to whats around us. Looking at Sherri, I couldnt help but wonder if she was sub-consciously trying her best to look like a white woman? Of course white women dont have a monopoly on having straight hair, but damn Sherri what were you thinking when you chose that particular hair assembly??? LOL SMDH. |

Thanks for saying that Miami. I believe we all here have pieces to the puzzle. I'm accustomed to paying attention to details. Details that can easily be overlooked or not taken into consideration. Sometimes, I like to analyze details like the way a lawyer or a mathematician would handle a case or solve a problem. Edited by Mrsincere, Jul 11 2010, 07:41 AM.

Dont be disappointed.......It's possible Hill ran into too many Sherri Shepherd types or Jacque Reid types whose main concern is being cheated on? And perhaps the woman he got with didnt come with that "I'm wonder woman" "I have to be wonder woman to deal with black men", but at the same time, "I need a man to help me teach my 5 yr old boy how to pee etc". Perhaps the woman wasnt looking at what Hill was driving when he approached her, but was more focused on his character, potential and what he had to offer as a companion? Maybe Hill frowns on dealing with women who will reject a brother for not having a car, but later in life decide they need a man to help them raise their children? It's very possible enough black men have experienced hundreds of thousands of black women who have operated with black men just like that on some level in the past, and to this day are completely clueless as to why life is paying them back , and why enough black men see "no potential" connecting with women that have or had that mindset. Just a thought!!! Edited by Mrsincere, Jul 12 2010, 05:31 PM.

Nobody mentioned Jimi Izrael, the author of "The Denzel Principle".......who was on the panel and totally disrespected/shunned by the women on the panel (and women in the audience). They would audibily "boo" all comments he made and make counterpoints to all of his inputs.........the reason ? He wasn't rich or famous like the other panelist. Here was the guy who WROTE the book that sparked the conversation and ABC special; and he was minimized to defending himself to a crowd of women who as Sherry put it, "don't know him like that"........disgusting; every woman on that panel will be single......forever. Or they will marry a sucker/ goldigger. |

Nirvana.....I dont think Jimi was as prepared in his responses as he could have been. I recall in one of those videos he was trying to make a point by using an analogy. But the example he used , if taken on face value, sounded kinda ridiculous. When someone uses a ridiculous analogy to make a point you run the risk of your point being lost. The individuals listening will focus on the ridiculousness of the example, instead of trying to get the point being made. And thats exactly what the women on the panel and the audience did when they heard Jimi's analogy. Even when I heard it, I knew immediately the women would focus on the example he used and not the point he was trying to make. One of the things I didnt like, was all of the men on the panel did the balancing act on a few occasions when they were talking about a particular issue with women. I dont think a man needs to claim "but men do it too" when he is talking about women issues. I find that to be a weak characteristic. I dont know why a lot of men are like that. If they are discussing women issues amongst each other, many men dont have a problem saying whatever is on their minds. But as soon as they have women in front of them, they try to adjust what they say as if they are afraid of getting a negative reaction. I think this is a problem in enough men. Many men dont stand up to their women when there is reason to address some foolishness. It's also why many male judges administer rulings and laws to be lopsided against men. It's also why a black president will have no problem addressing men about accountability on Fathers Day, but would probably never talk to women about their accountability on Mother's Day. In this society many men are conditioned to fear women. Conditioned to avoid being honest with women. It's easy to get to the point when you write a book. You dont have anybody ready to pounce on you the minute you say something they dont like. It's another thing to be strong enough to hold the same position and intensity of your message within a public forum. I have a feeling, Jimi's book probably has a lot great points in it. But in an open forum? He may need to work on his presentation much better in the future. Thats what I liked about Shahrazad Ali who wrote the Blackman & Blackwomans Guide. She addressed men and women issues in public forums the same way she expressed her POV in her books. She didnt deviate or water down her message because she was afraid to offend a gender, panelists or the audience. Edited by Mrsincere, Jul 13 2010, 10:55 PM.
