Stop comparing ourselves to White people when it comes to marriage.

[ShaneTheRogue]

I got married for multiple reasons, because I wanted to, and because she deserved to by my wife and not just my “baby mama” that’s just a few reasons. Love was a factor also. There’s ALOT of reasons why i got married to the person I did also though and not just ANY woman. I’ve been in long relationships that also ended abruptly so me taking long was also due to that.

I won’t sit here and act like getting married was a big drastic shift of something but you also have to take into account me and my wife were happy in almost every part of our relationship before getting married. We’re also both level headed adults that conduct ourselves as such. For us it more so about the commitment we made to each other… we would be fine without getting married it’s just something WE wanted to do and I fell she deserves the title of WIFE and not girlfriend.

I’m also not bashing anybody’s life choices, if they don’t want to get married don’t, but don’t go around trashing people that do want to get married. It’s a two way street, just because someone doesn’t want some thing for their own life doesn’t give anybody the right to trash the next person for making a decision they wouldn’t.

Well said. But y'all do realized despite being together so long, despite how well y'all treated one another....that y'all were a "statistic" prior to getting married right? When these folks pull up marriage stats to shyt on Black folks they were including people like you and your now wife.

Despite the fact that were handling your business prior to marriage, and weren't as the dudes put it "running from accountibility and responsibility, y'all were still included in the evidence of against Black relationships. Just because you weren't married.

I think that's bullshyt.

Edit: where did I bash Black people who want to get married? Is that why y'all slick hostile?

The title of your thread says to stop comparing black people to white people. I’m not talking about white people at all, are we all supposed to switch up now?

Nah. But it's funny that certain Black folks wanna compare to White folks only if it looks unfavorably upon us.

They eat raw meat and rotten fish too

Should we do that too

Poor "argument" we're talking about marriage, relationships, and raising children.

 

[MajesticLion]

Limit your title to the first six words and then you'd have a thread. When all of your arguments have them as the default setting, when they propagandize you into thinking they're "normal" and everything orbits them, you're doomed to failure from the start.



Smarten up.

 

[ShaneTheRogue]

Out of curiosity. How many of the people that disagree with me are married? With children?

I've never been married and have no children myself.

We’re really talking about copying white people right?

Respectibility politics obsessed Black folks just skipped over this post huh?

lol this place is full of contrarians. this is the same place that celebrates divorces, coined the term GMB, and derides interracial marriages (specifically between a black woman and white man).
the fact that there are people in here arguing for black marriages is hilarious

This feels like mental gymnastics to justify degeneracy and broken homes, but I’m not gonna argue y’all got it I’m #GMB anyway.

I think it's related to far right radicalism personally. At least partially. A lot of anti-Black rhetoric is dressed up in pro-Black clothing now a days.

With that being said. It was not my attention to make an anti-Black marriage thread. I just take offence how many Blacks use marriage statistics to shyt on other Blacks people, usually the opposite sex.

This man talking about mental gymnastics but believes out of wedlock births = Broken homes yet is simultaneously #GMB.

 

[Dre God]

This man talking about mental gymnastics but yet is somehow believes out of wedlock homes = Broken homes yet is simultaneously #GMB.

I don’t want any children so I can be GMB and still subscribe to the idea that out of wedlock children is a broken home.

Wow, you cannot be telling me that 80% of married parents are separated by the time their child turns 15 that's terrible. Children need their parents to stay together well into adulthood, not just for emotional and psychological reasons but also for financial and practical ones.

My parents are in their 60s and I'm so glad they've never separated. I'm 28 so obviously it's not going to affect my growth now if they did, but it would still make life so much harder for me, to have to support people who don't live together. Where they're at now it's easier for me to do stuff for them. And they're not even that old yet. Pretty soon they're going to reach the age where they need my help a lot more, where they're going to be depending on me, and I can't deal with that if they don't live together.
