I think that "thug" is the wrong word to use because it is associated with alot of other negative attributes such as violence, disrespect, crime and abuse. No intelligent person wants that in their life. However here are some things that black women need to understand.<br />1. You get what you pay for so if you want a thug mentality guy understand that you will get alot more negative behavior than positive and is it really worth it.<br />2. I hear the phrase "I want a man who can fight and protect me". The ability to fight is not an attitude, its a skill. Im not a thug nor am i an overly aggressive guy. I am however a former golden gloves boxer, i have a black belt and currently study MMA combat. If a "thug" tries to attack me, I'll put im down with 3 moves not because i have a tough attitude but because im trained to. Besides most of these young wannabe thugs cant fight anyway, thats why they have to shoot everyone.<br />3. Understand that we all excercise strength in our own way. It take alot of strength and confidence to not take the easy route and sell drugs but to study, work hard and live a respectful life. Thats tougher than anythug can do.<br />4. finally, do you want your sons to be bad boys and thugs because if you do, dont raise them to be nice and respect women. dont raise them to be somthing that you yourself do not desire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21083673.post-64230578796562035672009-10-16T20:00:35.095-07:002009-10-16T20:00:35.095-07:00To All My Angry Black Men:
I am so sorry that you...To All My Angry Black Men:<br /><br />I am so sorry that you are highly upset with the women who are attracted or in love with the thugs. Let's get it straight Black Men, whether or not you categorize yourself as a Educated or a Thug, you are still a man. But from an educated and college graduate I will tell you why women are attracted to the thug like mentality. Remember there are men in suits and ties that are thugs too. Look at Gangsta Bush. Although none of us like him, he just takes what the hell he wants and think nothing of it. You don't have to go to prison just to be classified as a thug. So don't get it twisted to think that that is what a thug is. A thug represents strength, protection, aggressiveness, physicality, and a take charge mentality, etc.... Really, in all actuality that is a man. Many guys have not embraced that because they are afraid of the consequences that comes with those characteristics. So many of the street mentality men, do not fear the law and or out-laws, therefore, they do not worry about what the repercussions are. Unlike men who usually, are highly educated and very successful careers careers are concerned about the risk of loosing monetary and superficial values for the family rather than the physical and safety values for the family and the woman prefers the physical part more than the monetary. That is why when men go and work two and three jobs, you hear the classic case of the women infidelity outside of the relationship and the first thing the man says is "I gave you everything you wanted" but he was not there to fulfill her physical needs. Not saying we as women can have everything we want just like men can't have everything you want. Nonetheless, we have to decide what is most important to us and the majority of Black women like strength and sex. Especially if we are financially independent now. Only thing is lacking is protection and sex. Just like when men say the classic saying "I don't need a woman to do nothing for me because I can cook, wash etc...." All he needs that woman for is SEX. We all need companionship, whether we admit or not but DON'T HATE ON A THUG MENTALITY MAN, HE DIDN'T MAKE THE WOMAN CHOOSE HIM, the hormones in the woman is stimulated by him because of his strength. Some woman are turned when a man take charge. I am. It is very stimulated. That is why dominated men when over nice guys.<br /><br /><br />Peace<br />aleapoffaithprod.comdenise leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591080734621827374noreply@blogger.com
