It is really matter of religious belief at the end of the day.

I fully believe in a gay couple's ability to raise children.

But in my belief system, God did not set it up that way and does not want it that way. That's just what it is. Do I support gay marriage?... ...I always have, but not every Christian who says they don't support it is a virulent homophobe; they're just following their own rules.

The issue is judgement and intolerance. No fornicator or drinker needs to be judging gays + no one has a right to force their beliefs or lifestyle on others - at least not in this country.

It is up to gay people to decide what is homophobic though, so my opinion as well as Damien's and Javan's is whatever tbh.

Black people shouldn't be able to have children because the fathers ain't ever there, therefore it's not a traditional household.

Sorry nggas. No kids for you.

Kendra. Didn't you use to say that you want your man to bite you/slap you/choke you when you fall out of line? What happened

What the hell does me being a freak have to do with this? I'm a strong, independent black woman. Yes, we are raised in a sexist society where women are expected to succumb to their "superior" and more "fit" male counterpart, but I'll be damned if I ever allow myself to fall through the cracks and conform to what society pushes us to believe. I was raised like that. My dad was one of the few respected black lawyers in this area. He always told me I needed to meet a successful black man to take care of me while I popped out babies and took care of our home. Bitch, please. That was even more motivation for me to take my feminine ass out and get a degree and guess what, boo? I'm working on my second. I just never mention the first because I never use it and it's a waste. As a black person I already have to work twice as hard to get where a white person is. As a black woman the odds are even more against me, but I've never been the one to lay down and just take some ****. See that's what true weakness is. I'm down for defying all odds.

In reality, I don't need a man to take care of me. I gets mine and I gets plenty. I don't need a man. Would I like one one day? Yes, of course. We all want companionship, but that's all I want, because at the end of the day he's only going to be my partner. He's not going to be above me. I won't allow that to happen especially since the fact that I have a vagina means I have to work harder than him to get where I'm going.

I don't give a damn where you were raised at. It's a poor belief that unfortunately has been instilled in the masses including women ourselves and that's where the problem lies. Instead of there being more pro-active women such as myself, we allow ourselves to continue to be suppressed by, you, the man when in reality we are just as capable, if not more, of doing any and everything you all do and bare a few children on the side.

And if I earn my degree, my career, and a title that entitles me bossing your manly ass around then you best listen to me or consider your ass uneployed.

Do you believe in that because of the bible or?

Well so ****ing be it, but my pride and self integrity is always going to be more important than finding a damn man. Kendra will never settle because it's what's expected of her. Poor me, huh? Ha!

[MikeFenty]

Kendra is not having it.

It is kind of sad how sexism is embedded in everyone's mind until they choose not to succumb to the petty standards. My mom was telling my sister about marrying rich, and I was just like....

[MikeFenty]

I told my sister that just because I wanted her hubby to buy me stuff. But knowing my sister even if she does marry rich she would remain the HBIC.

What was in the air yesterday that made so many people act up . Oh well it's gonna hurt them in the long run not me

I wish my parents would.

As much as we quarrel, I can attest that my parents have raised my brother, sister, and me to be self-reliant; one of the best skills one can have. It's annoying seeing people depending on others. Get a job...

[Big Smoke]

Honestly these boys need a good male figure in their life. That single mother ish rarely ever works out

I fully agree with Javan in that thread too

Really?

And you know that that last sentence pretty much contradicts that whole book you wrote too.
