I Got Game
You've made some decent points, especially concerning how lack of family values contributes to the problems Black Americans have, but you're going a little overboard. Not every man wants to get married and the bolded is ridiculous.
Every man 50 plus has either been married at least once, has mad kids, or spent a lot of time in prison or ?
Or at least co-habitating as they do now a days.
Before my man got married he asked me what was gonna be different. I said nikka yall been living together 4 years and bout to have baby number 3. Nothing is changing.
But if you don't meet a woman that's gonna at least cook, clean and take care of your biological urges like a champ then you're not looking hard enough.
A wife to a man is like a girlfriend to a boy. Like you still don't have a girlfriend? Still?
Like I said at least show me some kids that look like you. If you're gettin some on the regular you're gonna empregnate somebody.
Unless you never hit it raw.
But my original point them kids born just to "prove your manhood" have to now grow up in a broken home. Now watch the cycle...
Marriage is a microcosm for COMMUNITY. We are men. We take control of a home situation as we would take control of a community situation. There are roles to be played for the community to thrive. These basic principles are practiced everyday in a marriage.
There is a treasury. There's definitely a treasury . There's a King/mayor/president/CEO/HNIC or whtvr that position is called in whatever home or business... See now we're talking about community again.
And I wanna echo the homie @biscuitsnbangers who pointed out that it begins at the INDIVIDUAL level. We have to get control of our own lives. Clean our selves up and proceed to the next level, family. Then community, then nation.
For the community to be the best we have to prepare the future generations. We prepare them for community life by showing them the example in family life. From a very young age. We show them how a family is run, we show them how a BUSINESS is run. It's exactly the same. No family, no tribe, no legacy...
The thing is, kids are inevitable. Like I said if you got mad kids I can see you not getting married but even then...
But I don't see how you can never have kids unless there's something wrong biologically. Soldiers not marching or chromosomes not adding up but you can't tell me you never hit it raw? Never?
I'm telling you if you're straight and you're hittin puss on the regular , them kids is coming so for our future generation's sake, let's show em how to do this, son.
