Now I know for a fact I speak for a large number of Black men and I will say this we love you and we need you Black woman, for so many years we've fell victim to the stereotype that all black men and women do is make each others lives difficult we spend so much time trying to undermine each other it takes away from our foundation it erodes our spirit and it derails the quest that we should be on together .
A friend/mentor once told me that if a couple cant struggle together then they cant be together , a stain can remain for a time it can be washed away but once the fabric is torn its torn , it can be sewed back together again but you will always know that at some point that the fabric was torn, inner strength can keep the fabric of love and can remain strong for years .
(this was on my mind the whole Qtrain ride home this evening I had to get it off my mind)

"...if a couple cant struggle together then they cant be together"
this makes me think about my relationships... i'm the type who don't want to struggle during, for or in a relationship because if i have too is it really worth it? something thats for you should come with ease. But the fact that you had to get this off your chest and share gives me a new perspective of my way of thinking. in life sometimes we have to go through the storm to see a brighter day...
"... if a couple cant struggle together then they cant be together..."
This is such a powerful statement. I've always held out, in hopes of finding my true partner in life. We will have to battle against what this world throws our way, hand-in-hand. Fight and stand strong together? Yes! Fight against him? Never! I love the Black man.
@bluebutterflies the struggle doesnt always have to be fill with stress it can be oh so beautiful .
I love the very core and essence of what the woman represents we allow so many outside entities poison our spirits, to feel and to be greeted with love from the time the moon rises to when the sun sets can be so intoxicating with honesty,love and respect .
