Good
Black Men are indeed all around us. We pass them on the streets, in the
malls, and the halls at work. Most we can’t see because we don’t know
what a good man really looks like. He usually isn’t flashy enough or
rich enough to turn our heads. He might not wear a suit or push a Lexus.
He might not have a body like Tyson with a Denzel face. But, as you
mature, you realize it’s better to find someone who’s got your back
rather than someone who turns your head.
A good man doesn’t agree wholeheartedly with everything you say. He
doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear and do the opposite. He
doesn’t declare how sensitive, sweet, caring, sincere, etc. he is (he
won’t have to because it shows). He has his own opinions and yours may
clash, but he doesn’t have to degrade you to prove he’s right. He even
admits at times to being wrong, especially if you are willing to do the
same.
A good man is not going to meet every item on your checklist. He is
human with frailties and faults mixed in with all of his wonderful,
strong attributes. He needs your love and respect. He needs to feel that
you don’t live to catch him doing something wrong so you can declare,
“Aha! I knew you were a dog!”
A good man isn’t insecure about his woman having great achievements.
In fact, he is her number one supporter and becomes disappointed with
her when she begins to lose herself, especially for the sake of not
hurting his feelings, or only wanting to make him happy. His happiness
comes with seeing her excel in her dreams and accomplishing her goals.
For as she excels and is exalted, a good woman will bring her good man
right along with her.
A good man doesn’t necessarily give you a huge birthday or
Valentine’s gift. He shows his love in the ways that are comfortable to
him. Don’t judge him by TV standards. No one is really living a fairy
tale. You’ll miss out on your own fairy tale by buying into the myth
that our men are no good. It’s just not true.
A good black man is a man of his word. He says what he means and
means what he says. His word is his bond. He never leaves you wondering
if he is going to call or show up – he is dependable. A good black man
has a love and a heart for God. As his relationship and love with and
for God grows so will his relationship and love with and for you grow…
Our beautiful black men we salute you, appreciate you and thank you for
who you are and all you’ve done.
Pass this along to some of the Good Black Men you know and a few
women that need to read it … So that they can recognize a good black
man.
