As I continue to develop the BlackMomsClub and connect with other Black Woman online on this is very clear to me - Black Women love to talk about Black Men. We talk about dead beat dads, we talk about single motherhood, black men with white women, down low brothers, and everything else in between. However there isn't very much focus on the real issue, the thing that we are all trying to figure out ... How do we, as Black Women, create and maintain healthy relationships with Black Men? Whether your a mom or not, if you have an interest in the opposite sex, I'm sure this question has crossed your mind, but it's not something we talk about as much as all the other stuff.
That being said, I thought it was high time I devoted a section of this blog to talking about Black Love and Black Relationships. I want to focus on the good moreso than the bad because we hardly ever talk about the good stuff like strong Black Couples, or Good Black Men. I also want to here from readers about their experiences with Black Love.
This is an important topic to me because if my son, or any black child is going to grow up and create strong black family structures, they need to be able to imitate the positive interactions they see between their parents.
So that being said, Black Love Lives! Let me show you how much it does...

Black Men Vs Black Women: Fixing Our Issues
“Between The Lines”: 50 Solutions To “The Black Dilemma” by: Anthony Asadullah Samad
Solution 13:
It is time for black men and black women to call a truce. All black men are not triflin’ and all black women are not mean and evil. The dysfunction of the family that now has the new “black family” being 59% single female-headed households stems from the dysfunction of the black male-female relationship. The black community has lost its balance because the black family has lost its balance. We have to restore the black family unit where both men and women are present. Black relationships don’t have to be traditional to be balanced, but every household must be covered. Whether they are men-women, gay-lesbian, man-sharing, women-sharing, whatever they are, black men and women cannot raise a community distrusting/fighting each other.
