A sense of well being
A sense of purpose
And what I think black men need most of all, ESPECIALLY from black women, is a sense of empathy and maybe a little sympathy when necessary. I hate to sound all woe is me but many of us do not come from stable backgrounds and households. Witnessing and experiencing stress consistently from an early age does a lot to the mind and can cause dysfunction later in life. Whether it be complex-PTSD, insecurities, or narcissism; the list of mental health problems black men in America face caused by: fatherless households, a father that tried but failed in many ways, and a household that is physically, emotionally and mentally tumultuous and poisonous especially in the early years, left many of us crippled.
Yet black women either choose not to understand or are so crippled themselves they cant understand. You hear consistently from women *avoid men with insecurities*, *avoid men who didn't have a good father figure/never saw their father treat their mother right etc* the list goes on and on. As a Black man in America, at times it feels like Black women (obviously not all, nothing is absolute but death and taxes) either don't know, don't show or don't care about our mental health and many of the problems we face. When an unarmed Black man is gunned down by police, sure you see Black women in the streets marching and yelling; but this gives us the feeling that only in our death, when we are no longer around to be appreciated, how complex of a human being we are is shown and articulated. You hear and see on social media sites consistently about women bringing each other up. But when it comes to helping Black men that are broken, at times it feels like, rather than extending an olive branch, a spear is pointed in our direction.

I just want a black woman to marry and have my kids. A black woman whose pro-black ( without the white guy history) and can raise pro-black children
That’s all a brother needs.

You have to remember that a lot of black women have PTSD and other mental issues related to the same types of discriminations, fatherlessnes, poverty, etc that black men deal with.

We want the same opportunities and access to potential that white people have. We want to celebrate our culture without it being criticized and we want the love, support and protection of our women and girls.
