What’s going on…
Conversation Series-State of the Back
Community
Black Female and Black Male Relationship
Ok I’m starting a conversation series on
“The State of the Black Community” all a brainchild stemming from my latest
book The Forgotten A Love Story and
the book signing. We had a candid
conversation about what’s going on with black relationships meaning male and
female relationships. My co-host and I
felt that the issues go deeper than black male and black female relationships
but felt that was a great starting point.
So I will be blogging along with the series and I invite everyone who
reads this blog and live in the Atlanta area to join us on November 10th. Contact me at jlbrantle@yahoo.com,
www.janicebrantle.com or 404-932-3424 for more information.
I want to start out this blog with a
question are there really 10 women to 1 man in Atlanta. I am a beautiful, intelligent, gifted Black
woman and single. To make matters worse I have several beautiful, intelligent,
gifted friends who are single. Why is
this? I heard theories that because
there are so many women to one man in Atlanta men don’t have to be with just
one woman and don’t feel the need to commit. Or that we as Black women have very
high standards and we are missing out on the good guy who just got out of
prison! All the men in Atlanta are gay. Or this is a good one, successful Black men
don’t want a chocolate sister around because having a white woman on his arms
means success and status.
So tell me what are we sisters suppose to
do? Sharing a man is out? Dating a serial criminal is out? And dating a
gay man is most certainly out (woman are just not their cup of tea)?
