My house sits near a highway and you can still see old streets and sidewalks that dead ends abruptly at the highway line. They didn’t even bother to complete the infrastructure in the severed neighborhoods
Women are not stupid. We don’t intentially pick out men with “abuser” written across their forehead.
These men are INVITED into our intimate space because we SHOULD be able to trust them. And they take advantage with intention.

They also jump in relationships to avoid dealing with themselves, But expect their SO to fully take on their emotional issues that they refuse to confront.
Like, if YOU don’t wanna deal w/ your issues why am I the villain for not wanting to deal with it either?

They need to be active to have energy. Otherwise they’re sluggish and lazy. It’s a vicious cycle.
I’m happy your man is staying healthy and true to his nature ✊🏿🫡🥂

I honestly think coming into contact with men on a regular basis puts you at risk of abuse no matter the industry or form of work. Look at what’s going on with the military right now.
@primediscussion
Whew. Right. Cause even if you’re being nice looking for a reward then you’re a manipulator, not a nice person.
Be upfront with your intentions and expectations.
@imani_yvonne2
Venting and complaining is the only type of verbal communication a lot of men can navigate. And they think that’s considered a “conversation” lmao
@imani_yvonne2
Black men be so angry about their place and circumstances in the world.
Rather than banding together and fighting the system itself, they attack black women JUST so they can still feel superior to someone. It’s an illness.
What we don’t talk about enough is the TIME that women spend doing housework keeps us from reaching our full potential. That extra time could be used on a hobby, a passion, a goal.
Marrying for love is a modern concept. It’s actually a new found privilege in our society. That’s why we should rejoice when ppl get divorce. What a privilege it is to be able to leave a situation that no longer emotionally fulfill you.
@miakhalifa
I wasn’t really talking about the money aspect of it. I was generally talking about love, and how strong it used to be because there are some people old today who are still together happily in love and together for years. That was the point I was trying to make. But I see what
Dating is lit. But you really have to have thick skin, self esteem, self control, stability, and ppl around you who loves you. Keeps you from sinking your all into randoms so early.
The city was on fire. 2007-2012ish
No Uber. Social media was rudimentary. Weaves had just gained traction. Parties had to be in places that can hold 500 guests. Wet Seal was fashionova. We were all broke and hung out where the drink specials were.
I went on 1 date with a judge twice my age. After dangling promises of gifts he sent me a long paragraph about how he doesn’t pay for sex. Tuh! He was blocked so fast.
@LIBGyal
That’s why you have to cut them off immediately and make it impossible to reconcile. Cry alone with your dog and fav snack in the privacy of your own home.
@fxcknxggafree_
I’ve used a locksmith twice this year. I do think we need more ppl in trades like hvac and pluming because they make our homes livable.
I agree. Young adults are very vulnerable and adult relationships are life altering.
Let them date someone their own age and experience love appropriately. Don’t rob that from them.
The United States government doesn’t care about their own children being murdered, you think they’re going to give a shit about another country’s children?!?!?
BW have been told that we’re going to be independent, single, and unhappy because we focused on education.
And BM thought we would desperately and regrettably rush to settle and that’s not the case.
What’s crazy about the Alabama Brawl is that the yt ppl boat had no business being there. And it kept a ship full of black ppl from docking. Inconveniencing all those ppl. They 100% deserve getting their ass beat by the whole boat.

Chile!!!! The dirty looks I get with my pure bread Rottie from ppl with multiple huskys is blood curdling.
Not that I’m poor but it’s assumed because I’m black with locs.
McDonald’s worker in the US: $9/hr
McDonald’s worker in Denmark: $22/hr, 6 weeks of annual vacation, a union, 1 year of paid family leave, life insurance and pension.
America must join the rest of the industrialized world and ensure that our working class can live with dignity.
Ima say this. Emory has their shit. But that school educates some smart ass, talented, well rounded, black people. And we don’t applaud ourselves enough. I’m always so impressed with the ppl I went to school with. 💕
BREAKING: A state Senate committee has now passed the bill to break Atlanta into two parts, along with a bill to create the City of Buckhead City.

Very true. When they realize they cant posses, control, or benefit from what they love about you they turn very envious of it. And start making it seem like it’s actually a flaw.
My hill:
a woman has more to lose than win when she exposes abuse. The compounded trauma of the abuse plus the judgment and gossip is a lot!!
Telling the world your darkest secret is not the healing exercise y’all are making it out to be.

@DGTALEmpress
The gag is most girls are out of their league. At our core we are hard to please. All of us.
The game is skewed to ensure that men have easier access to sex without doing any actual work.
You know why women shouldn’t pay for dates? Because the preparation usually costs more than the date.
We’re financially sunk before we even get dressed.
@IcyTheARTIST
The exact wording he used has been a neo-Nazi, white nationalist anti-Semitic slogan for decades, going back to the early KKK. So, yes, a lot of people seeing it are going to assume it applies to Jews, because it’s often used that way.
@LIBGyal
I’ve had to actively find avenues outside of black men to direct my love and energy towards. I have a lot inside and I’m learning that it’s not a weakness or flaw. But I’m also learning that pouring it into men isn’t the best use of my energy.
@imani_yvonne2
They start trying to take control in other, more sinister ways because in their head you’re dominating them and they have to beat you. Meanwhile you be just living in your light.
This is my issue with Black owned businesses in Atl. Too focused on making alot of money and flexing online and not curating a positive atmosphere for people to connect.
@Wicked__Vixen
Ppl are just showing how unworthy they think they are. They really think you have to be perfect, and struggle to “earn” respect and care.
It’s unfortunate
@imani_yvonne2
Bingo! Covid is just showing yt ppl their privilege and how dangerous and destructive it is. They’re struggling because they have to reconcile generations of lies that has exalted them
