Men. Don't. Care. About. Your. Credentials. Ladies.

didn't watch, but I bet CTG folded like a cheap lawn chair off his opinions he had the other day

 

[ThrobbingHood]

This chick said she helped her Mom study for CDL when she was 9 years old???



Problem is Black Men have been trained not to Challenge black women no matter what. And we've taught to lie to them.

When you come from a two parent household, you’re less likely to do the woman worship thing. I love my moms but I ain’t scared to push back on her or any woman. That “yo mama black” shyt don’t work on me

It’s funny you mention This. I was a listening to a podcast today discussing Snowfalll. In particular when Franklin told his mom F U!

They said cursing at your moms in the black community is sacrilegious, because the black woman is GOD in the household. The operative word being “household”. This is what happens when there’s no male presence, there’s no balance, order or anyone to be checked.

I’m all for uplifting our women because we know how hard we have it collectively, especially our women. But this idea has now extended across the whole spectrum, which means the shyttiest of our women are infallible and immune to criticism. And we’ve seen how that’s worked out.

This is why black men need to stay in the household. My dad loves my mom but I’ve seen him check her when she gets out of line. If he wasn’t there, I could only imagine the amount of shyt she’d get away with and I would’ve ended up resenting her, like a lot of black men from single mother homes are.

 

[Canon]

Envy brought it up lol

damn alright

I watched like two minutes of this and there is no way I could take her personality and tone on a daily basis . just abrasive.

 

[Bumblebreh]

She’s one of those women that don’t understand that we men don’t care about your credentials. We fukk with you for you. Not because you have a degree and own a business. They project this onto the men because they assume men would want this quality in a woman. Just as long as he treats you well and can hold you down if god forbid something happens is all that matters.

Most men do care. If you are in fact planning to build a future with a woman and you both spilt expenses. It should matter that she can financially contribute. Most working class households require two incomes.

 

[avon barksdale]

It's her preference ..


The same people dogging her ask them to get with a fat 450 person and let's see their response

Of course you don't want someone broke. No one's saying that. A woman who contributes is enough. Money and credentials are significantly lower on most men's priority list than personality, compatibility, and looks. I don't want a competitor, I want a partner.

People aren't mad about her preferences. They're mad at her shytting on working class Black men. Doubly so because she's only been married to white men.

 

[NO-BadAzz]

Yea professional women date down but Eboni is in the top 3% and culturally as we as Black people are the poorest of any group so it stands out more when you making serious money. On top of that Black women, especially late generation X and millenials have been fed this Black girl magic BS. It's really a mess the state of dating and marriage in the Black community.

I would like to ask this, no attack, just a thought to a statement you made and I wanted to dive into this realm, black folks, women have always been fed some type of elevation phrase.

My question: Do you see other groups of women getting tag with these kind of phrases "Black girl Magic" to so call uplift themselves over their men?

2. What does black girl magic in your opinion do to the state of mind of black women and teens?

3. When the women of the 60s and 70s, were fed, the black woman is beautiful and power, kind of the lines of "Black girl magic" do you think it changed the software inside of them?

Anybody can answer, I quote you because you made the statement which I agree with

Black women in the 60s and 70s needed the validation because there was an open attack on the natural beauty of Black women. I think today the messaging went away from acknowledging Black beauty and became something that separates Black women away from Black men. Even in those old commericials and ads. Black women were in a lot of them and holding habds and being together with Black men.

You don't really see that because the point is to separate Black men from women in part because Black women are the fastest rising demographic in the consumption of luxury goods. Its all a marketing ploy.

 

[F*ckthemkids]

In my past life I knew a girl like ebony. She would talk breezy and as soon as someone checked her it was “oh…I didn’t mean it like that.”. Every single time without fail.

Ebony knows what she’s saying. She just doesn’t have the spine to stand on it.

This culture that everyone has to be an entrepreneur. Everyone has to be a “boss” is going to make for a whole generation of single ass women.

I don't know an MTA worker who is not eating well.

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

I don't know an MTA worker who is not eating well.

Exactly. A lot of dudes in transit make 6 figures. shyt, BART station agents get 6 figures to sit on their ass all day.

A lot of women do not know what working level professions pay. Hell bus drivers make 85-90k in NJ after 10 years and pay starts at about 55k.

 

[FluffyEyes]

Her preference is her preference
It's all the juelzing and pressed explanations after the original interview that got her looking crazy
This is a classic example of when "I said what I said" would be useful

Literally. Now she done showed her classist and fake talented tenth ass colors and she looks absolutely fukking horrible out here.

No one should be taking relationship advice from Ebony OR Iyanla so the fact that this conversation has gone on this long is fukking ridiculous.
