Are they toxic? Or are they just going through normal growing pains in a relationship?
Normally, couples who are together over some years take breaks in between as they grow individually and together, that’s not toxic.
Jhene & Big Sean are the only toxic relationship we’re rooting for
we STAN 😩

If you’re Black and grew up “spoiled” and/or “bougie” you went through a phase where those two words were very triggering for you, folks loved to call you that to water down your blackness. Now look at everybody, desperately wanting to be called spoiled and bougie.

I love Black men, I really do, but Black women are going to have to allow Black men the space to figure some things out on their own. We do not have the emotional capacity to examine, unpack, and correct our shxt and everyone else’s. That’s way too much emotional labor.

Mental illness is having a chemical imbalance within your brain. A chemical imbalance (for the most part) does not control who you’ve been socialized to be.
If you’re going to make bold claims about mental illness please at least fact check or converse with a MHP first.

My mom taught me every man you deal with is not meant to make it to your husband list. If more women had that mindset they’d be happier. Just because you’re feeling him doesn’t mean he’s supposed to be your husband. Enjoy that man for what he is then go about your day.

Some thoughts:
1.) For the folks opposing this tweet, why is it so difficult to say “you know what, that wasn’t my experience and that’s okay?” You don’t have experience something for it to be true. Truth is not measured by your experiences, it’s actually the other way around.

2.) For all of the people saying “get over it” I’m curious as to how you all navigate as adults and communicate in your everyday life. Bringing up a topic does not equate to ill feelings or an argument about said subject. It’s okay to simply discuss things, that’s how you learn.

Again, ladies, do not protect these men, because they will not protect you. Protect yourself, protect like-minded women, and protect these kids.

Can we finally discuss how the “logic” menfolk speak about is really just a lack of empathy, then correct it?

There was a Nigerian movie I watched, this man bought a car for his wife. Cool. She then proceeded to ask if it was in her name and he said no because what is his is also hers lol, she said no it needs to be in her name or else it’s not hers. Y’all agree with the woman or nah?

Can I be very honest with you? I've noticed the folks who created trap brunch, trap yoga, etc aren’t Black folks who grew up in “uppity Black world.” It’s the ones who grew up in the hood, have now transitioned out of the hood, and no longer know where they fit in.
The new blacks love the "hood" aesthetic but scared of the people who created it. That's how you get shit like "trap brunch, trap yoga, trap & paint, trap gardening, trap wiffle ball etc etc"

If all women raised the bar for what they expected from men they would have no choice but to reach it, but patriarchy has tricked women into believing men are the prize so that’s not happening.
