Umar Johnson on Polygamy in the Black community

[Street Knowledge]

What do you guys think?

He said obviously it's not for everyone, but he doesn't see why the subject is so taboo when you consider that so many men are in Polyamorous relationships already(side chicks/main chick/ "roster" phenomenon etc)

 

[Elle Driver]

He's absolutely right.

There was a time where it had a purpose, but the issue now is dusty dudes who can't even provide for themselves using it as an excuse to have multiple women

 

[Sam Davison]

It's too complicated, I don't think it would work. It's not fair to everyone involved and as a result, I don't support that. What happens when kids are born from more than one wife?

Word. Most nikkas can't even provide for one "wifey" or bm. Multiple wives is just something to stroke these dusty nikkas egos.

This is true, and they're all for it when it benefits them however, when it comes down to the responsibilities of having multiple wives, they don't want any part of it. Once again, DUSTY DUDES

Dont have a problem with it as long as the man can provide for the women and children. This is very common in Africa and both of my grandpas had multiple wives, but guess what they could afford each and everyone of them and all of their children went to school and had a roof over their head. In America alot of this practice is based on lust purely and men leaving baggage but wanting their cake and eating it to, with no accountability. My friend who lives in Vegas is currently in this situation with a Jamaican guy, and the women are in agreement because he takes care of home.

Don't see how you can rally against single parent households then turn around and support polygamy.

Broken logic coming from this dude as usual

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

To much responsibility on the husband... and I don't think Americans are built for it anyway

 

[CriticalThought]

Nothing wrong with it from my personal perspective. All it'd take is some brothas out there willing to take on a 2nd wife and the "excess" black woman situation is solved. Hell give them, top-shelf while you're at it.

You have people okay with abortion, gay/interracial marriage, out of wedlock kids and plenty of other questionable behavior. But as soon as it comes to this people want to start acting funny. It'd be better if a man had multiple children from multiple wives as opposed to "baby mamas". At least all those children have a father figure in their lives on a daily basis. Those women are "claimed", rather than acting as if they're damaged goods or something. Not to mention, you get a brotha making it, with 2 women putting in work...they're taking off economically.

Are they really gonna do any worse? I doubt it.

If it works for them, it works for them. I don't see the point of discussion if no one's getting hurt. Like, who the fukk are we to decide what people do? Obviously, though, people are gonna look different at the woman with two husbands.

So if I become a multi millionaire, I can have a lot of women legally as long as I provide for them? Most American women are too egotistical for a worthy man to be shared with multiple women in a formal marriage, but OK with it in other relations

My views: Every Queen to a King. Quality over Quantity.
Ok so do you mean like a "brotha and 2 women putting in work" all under the same roof? Or 2 separate places?

But isn't just as egotistical for a man to "have a lot of women legally as long as I provide for them?"

Do you have any kids? Daughters? Honestly, would you rather your daughter have a husband for herself, or would you rather your daughter be in a polygamous relationship? Assuming It was a great guy in each situation...

I wouldnt want it for myself but I agree withit. If gays can get married without judgement so can they. Be fruitful and multiply.
