Avoidance

People weren't scared to do you wrong, why avoid accountability? Folks can't avoid consequences forever because at some point, all of us will account for everything, good and bad 

Take Out Your Own Trash

 

It's easier to call out others for their flaws than to look at yourself. Black men have more than enough issues to contend with so black men have no place to criticize black women for ANYTHING. Fix yourself before you try to fix anyone else.

Today's Thought

Not one lie was told. People love deflecting blame to social media for the way they are.

Chancellor Lee Adams, the son Rae Carruth nearly killed, graduates from ...

Congratulations to this young man for continuing to defy odds. Think about it: Chance's own father tried to have him killed due to not wanting to pay child support to his pregnant girlfriend. Carruth's actions left his son disabled😥. Rae Carruth has been out of prison since 2018, but if we're honest: He should've gotten life with no parole or the death penalty. Now, he wants custody of his son. Why? This is the same scumbag that tried to have him killed to get out of paying child support. If it wasn't for Chance's grandmother, this young man wouldn't have gotten as far as he did. I hope the judge doesn't allow Carruth to see his son because based on what Carruth has done, no amount of forgiveness can undo the damage this man caused.

Thought For Today

 

If someone can fall out with another person, what's stopping them from falling out with you? Everyone isn't real. I understand everyone won't gel with each other, and I'm cool with that. Most times, people fall out with each over petty reasons.

Provision

One of my FB friends asked this on his page, but it's a good subject to write about. From a man's POV, it depends on whether the father is active in his boys' lives. If the father's active, he should be schooling his sons on the 3 P's: Provision, Protection & Profession. Since the question asked deals with provision, that's what I'll speak on, so here goes. If a man's father is showing his son what manhood is about, the boy will grow up knowing how to provide for his future spouse because that's what he saw his father doing. If a boy has no blueprint to manhood & he meets a solid woman, he may have a problem providing for his wife unless he suddenly "gets it." Times are different. Back then, men could afford to be sole breadwinners because goods & services were cheap, so there was no need for the wife to work. Now, it's almost impossible for a household to survive on one income unless the couple is frugal. I think a lot of men have a problem with paying 100% of the bills because of fear: Fear that his wife will take advantage of that, and it's a valid reason. No man or woman wants to feel used & there are some spouses that take each other for granted, like it's expected of them to do this, that and the third. If we're honest, one spouse does all the providing and the other spouse contributes nothing. God forbid something happens to the sole provider, and then what? Can the other spouse step in? I have no problem paying 100% of the bills, but I will be making all....ALL decisions, just saying.

I think if a man was raised with old-school values, he'll have no problem being the main breadwinner. In fact, he would be honored to finish the job his wife's father started.
