SummerRain said:lol. You ain't right for this one Shimmie!!!
When it's all said and done, I feel like if I give up on black men - I'd be giving up on my son. So no, I haven't. But at the same time, I can't say that I have full faith and trust in black men in general. Maybe a particular one - but as a whole....eh. not so much

I am raising a bi-racial boy, but bi-racial is a technical term and most people don't concern themselves with technicalities. He will be considered black by the society at large, so I am raising a black boy. How can I give up on black men?
I am careful about what he reads, what shows he watches, and what music he listens too. I try to expose him to as many positive black figures as I can. I push him to be his best. I give him love and I keep my fingers crossed.

SummerRain said:I was raised by my father. My grandparents have been married for over 50yrs, and with my grandmothers recent failing health - I've never seen my granddad be more gentle, nurturing and protective. My uncles are all hard hard working men, we had a family business. I recall my aunt losing her job, my uncle took on 3 - worked 24 hr days at times, not just to make ends meet. But to provide in the ABUNDANCE.
So I could never turn my back on the example they've set. Now MY generation of black men???
See me tomorrow on that one! lol
