To the GOOD black men...

I think our brothas have been given a bad reputation. Yes, there are some dogs out there, but they're making our good men look bad. So ladies, when u meet a GOOD black man, treat him right. So this is dedicated to all our strong, hard-working, educated, loving black men....


There’s Nothing More Beautiful Than A Black Man…

The truth of the matter is
There’s nothing more beautiful than a black man
Whether 5’2’’ or 6’7’’
Yellow fabulous or chocolate heaven
There’s nothing more beautiful than a black man
Long and lean
With deep brown eyes
Wavy hair or dreads
With strong thick thighs
There’s nothing more beautiful than a black man
Bald head with a goatee
Cornrows or a fade
A little thick, a little thin
Oh, the choices to be made
There’s nothing more beautiful then a black man
Scholarly or not
Wall Street or hip-hop
I’ll sing your praises
To the mountaintop
Head of the home
Provider and lover
Obedient son and loving brother
There’s nothing more beautiful than a black man
A mighty protector you’ve proven to be
Sacrificing your life to keep me free
Working for crumbs when the table is bare
Praising the Lord, leading the family in prayer
There’s nothing more beautiful than a black man
Holding my hand when fear emerges
Remaining faithful, suppressing your urges
Proving your strength by turning the other cheek
Having high hopes when the situation is bleak
There’s nothing more beautiful then a black man
Treating me like the queen I was born to be
Never disrespecting, dishonoring, or disgracing me
Giving me credit when credit is due
Oh black man how I honor you
There’s nothing more beautiful than a black man
