This is why black women have to start putting themselves first and making good life decisions.
The odds are very much stacked against us in many ways. But if black women play their cards right, they could win at the game of life.
But they gotta avoid a lot of pitfalls.
They need to leave self-haters, toxic family members, black female haters, users, incels, and sorry people behind. Focus on self-love. No illegitimate babies. Fukk any negative sorry dude trying to bring you down. Only return positive energy of men who are willing to literally prove through action that they are in your corner. Use NOPE liberally. To many blk chicks let dudes play on their emotions. They put up with a lotta shyt unnecessarily. I see too many black women with bums on their couches, taking in user family members, worrying about everybody but themselves.
They need to put those degrees to work. Start researching scholarships and grants early in high school so they can go to college without huge student loan debt. Focus more on saving and stacking money and getting established and in a good financial zone. Take care of their health, focus on homeownership, building wealth, eliminating stress, AVOID hateful anti-bw rhetoric and go to counseling to address years of gaslighting, being told they are ugly, unworthy, masculine, nasty., ect. Focus on self-care, mental health and stepping out into the sun. But right now there are a lot of toxic influences weighing heavily on black female psyche that they need to shake. And when they dare to focus on themselves, some become angry or defensive. Don’t waste energy on those types either. Just continue to work on the glow up and they will find like-minded men on their growth journey who are positive and interested in building a black family with them. Not none of these “SUBMISSION” “IM DA PRIZE!” “NON-BLK WIMMINZ IS BETTER!” “YOU DA ENEMY” incel lunatics.
The good news is that I see a LOT of black women breaking through in spite of the odds. We just gotta fine tune some stuff and then it’s up up up!
I might put a BW Life Tips thread in the Salon.
AAAAALL of this is correct.
The real problem is that all of this is taught to girls in other cultures and not us. Most Black women can win and have normal relationships/marriages (even if they don’t last forever

) if we know how.
Many of us don’t know how to focus on ourselves when we should, when the party should stop, what type of guy to take seriously, etc.
A lot of Black women are figuring out this landscape for ourselves because we didn’t grow up with the proper dynamic in our homes, and some of our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, etc aren’t willing to be honest about their own mistakes and bad decisions that may have led to unhappy lives. This may cause the bitterness they pass down to some of us.
I can’t say a bad thing about brehs because my father is the ONLY messed man in my family. Everyone else has been married forever (or tried to fight for their marriages), providing for their kids (even paying mortgages and paying for grad school), extending financial help to extended family, employing relatives, etc.
The men in my family go above and beyond and the guys I’ve dated are pretty similar. Here’s the thing though: the women they are with knew they found a good thing Ana’s held on TIGHT. Women marrying into my family with no education and sitting pretty as housewives 10-20 years later. It can be done IF you know how to pick the right ones. Many of us aren’t taught how to spot and keep a traditional guy, which is why so many of us are struggling in the dating world. I’ll keep it 100.
There are definitely men who are trash, but if you are strong enough to not let any and every man play with your emotions you will be able to spot those guys out on date 1 or 2 and walk away. Many of us DON’T walk away, which is where the drama starts.
Hell, one brotha was fine and had it together, but something felt off about him so I backed away.
Come to find out he knocked up some white chick out of wedlock and isn’t even with her anymore

. When I found out I said “I knew it!” He pretended to have it all together, but he was truly reckless. Being 6’5, gorgeous and flush with money didn’t make up for his character. White girl didn’t see it coming; I dodged a bullet
Like you said, cutting out the negative voices on social media, cutting off users, and focusing on our mental, emotional and physical health will help us get back on the right track.
