Reebill:

I wasn’t speaking on your comment. I was referring to comments that I received off-line.

I appreciate your post and agree totally with it.

Your post was excellent.

President elect Obama is a great example for men to follow. I think that he brings hope to our community as a whole. In some respect I do think that the lack of hope is the root of the problem some men have. Obama’s, being elected has shown us all, that we can achieve the impossible.

(Note: I saw an interview with Will Smith and he said that he was in Africa and some of the people kept shouting at him impossible. He didn’t understand, so he asked, why? A man told him, they say it because African Americans take nothing and do the impossible. He was referring to rap music but I think it is so much more. OBAMA!!!!! )

With that in mind I hope that the necessity I feel for this blog will diminish over the next 4 years.

However, now, I feel for the women who are out there hurting, struggling and feeling lost and confused. I feel for the women who want a good man and can’t find one. I feel for the women who thought they found the love of their lives only to find out he was after their bank account.

These women need to know that there is nothing wrong with them. They are not crazy or stupid. These men set out to find someone that they could take advantage of. Some of them look for women who have children. They do this because they know that she will always maintain a decent place to live and keep food on the table. For some of them this is their career. These men do not want to be the man in the relationship. They want to be freeloaders and parasites

I do not mean to spread hate but to inspire women to continue strive for a normal relationship. However, we need to be aware that these men are out there and are looking for unsuspecting women. These relationships hinder the growth of our community because it leaves so many of our children in poverty.

Some of us are in good relationships and I am very happy for those who are. However, it is not the majority.

I hope that you will continue to make your comments. I respect your opinion and look forward to reading more.

I would however, like you to keep in mind that this blog started out as a slightly comedic view on the subject while seriously discussing the issue. At times it may seem a little off colored but somewhere in what I write you will surely find a point.

From now on I will say that this comment is in reference to off-line comments.

Thanks for your post.
