Last of the Mohicans
Sometimes I like the attention and the praise. I'm a black male married w/ 2 kids and I'm an excellent father, niggas ask me questions like I'm Uncle Phil (a month ago I woulda said Cliff Huxtable). But then there are other times when I feel ashamed, often I wonder am I the only dude in my age range living this almost "sitcom" life. I thought back to when I was younger and realized I was one of very few guys who's parents were happily married. It seems as if black dudes just don't want to do right. I could go into facts and statistics and say how bad environments are killing of the strong black man but that won't fix shit. All in all I'm going to make this a short post and promise to do my part and teach my sons how to treat a woman, how to communicate and how to be strong. So if 15 or 20 years from now your daughter tells you she's dating someone named Carter Powell or Levi Powell, she's won the jackpot.
