Like Mr. Furious with a really nice handbag.

Wow.
Just…wow.
So, um, yeah, fuck you Dateline for this condescending-ass “report” and referring to Steve-cotdamn-cheating-ass-Harvey as a “relationship guru.”
And fuck you Response Guy for…being you.
Ugh. I’m with you Sid, I’m just going to walk away slowly.
i like my brain and i don’t want it to asplode, so i’m not going to watch this.
OK, wondering when it became news that successful black women had a “hard time” finding a successful black man? And the reporter left out the gay element from their fancy graph. It couldn’t have been better done if Soledad had done it herself. :::slow drawn out applause:::
Yeah, it was a joke that Steve Harvey is a relationship expert. Of all the people out there (many who are successful black women!) they choses Steve Harvey. And he is going to sit up there and lean into the beautiful black women practically drooling talking about “get you an older black man.” Dahell! Ugh. Looking like he smells like moth balls, Irish Spring, baby powder, and Old Sprice.
As for the response guy, why did you post that? He gave me a headache. I had to turn him off when he started talking about “how you gone leave somebody just because the lights is turned off.” Again I say, dahell! I have never had my lights turned off in my lifetime and don’t plan to start now - especially as a “successful black woman.” Betta get the hell up outta here with that nonsense. For the record, naw, I ain’t gone be with someone who can’t keep the lights on. Guess that means my standards are too high, right?
:::rolls eyes, drops mic, exits stage left::::
Danielle–I tried to frame a coherent response to all this nonsense and there was just too damn much. Really.
Mrs. E: You probably made the right choice there.
B– LOLOL, I think it became news when people saw that, with Oprah and Michelle, there were actually, you know, a lot of successful black women out there! Amazing! And with one in the white house, we should talk about their issues!
I wish Steve Harvey would disappear in a puff of moth-ball/irish spring/old spice scented smoke. LOL. I can’t believe anybody takes that fool seriously. And his leering was pretty creepy. *shudders*
As for the response vid…if you can puzzle out what the sam-hell he’s talking about, it does seem to boil down to “you bitches ain’t allowed to have any standards at all!” I mean, he managed to shit on religion, earning power, education, basic adult responsibility, looks, and just about everything else most people don’t even consider subjects for debate. I did fall out at the lights comment. That was comedy gold right there.
*eyeroll*
After reading the comments, I am afraid to watch this because I will want to punch someone and the only people in the house are me, Jeff and the kid. And I don’t want to punch myself.
LOL, excuse the typos…I was really into the moment.
Black men are a bunch of sorry, no good for nothing, no job having losers anyway. I say explore our options and open ourselves to be loved by men of other races. Its time ladies to let go of the past and embrace the future. How long are we going to keep carrying the Black man on our collective backs?
Oh boo. BOOOOO. I don’t buy that at all. Those are my friends, uncles, stepdad and brothers you’re talking about, Mary, and those men are not good-for-nothing, no-job-having losers. If that’s the only kind of black man you’re meeting, I encourage you to check your social circle, because you need a new one. :-/
I didn’t post this to hate on black men. I hate the “sad-lonely-black-ladies” meme, and I just stumbled across the response vid, which I thought was hilarisad and needed to be shared for lulz. The irony of *that* guy trying to dictate what women should be allowed to want? HILARISAD. But like Danielle said, fuck that guy for being himself, not for being a black man.
I don’t carry anydamnbody, and the men of my acquaintance get along just fine without my support, which is why I love and respect them all. Hell, I’d be a mess without the love and support they’ve given me over the years. Are there black men who are good-for-nothings? Of course. Because there are men and women of every hue who manage to be so. To suggest otherwise–to suggest black men on the whole are worthless–does a disservice to good black men, the non-black partner you’re heaping that golden-savior pile of expectation on, and yourself, because the right partner for you just may *be* the black man you’ve ignored because you expected him to be a shiftless loser.
