The 1960s - Over 40% of black families owned their own businesses, what happened?

That was almost 1 in every 2 families having their own business. I have to wonder what happened here. Now it is something like less than 8%. I also was reading the statistics for marriage and co-op parenting. At the same time, 85% of black households were married or co-opting parents. Thomas Sowell has a strong stance on this in blaming the welfare state for ruining the black businesses, the black household/family, and the black community. He says in one generation of being on a welfare state, all of this was destroyed. I think the police state plays a role but I am not sure what he thinks about that.

What are your thoughts on this?

Are you giving your man what he needs and wants or are you giving him what YOU think he needs and wants?

@Caprice and I were debating on this in regards to Megan the Stallion but it is a larger issue. How many of you think you know what men need and want instead of actually listening to the man in your life and acting based on what he says? Listen to woman for 2 minutes:

She is kicking straight up knowledge. I’ve been in situations where I wanted to provide the person I was dating more but she wouldn’t listen to what I needed. They would argue with me about what I needed and then would be upset when I bounced because the next woman would provide me what I needed without issue.

In the Meg the Stallion scenario, the statement is “Protect Black Women” but you can’t tell us to protect when you won’t listen to use when we tell you what’s reasonable behavior. We ask that you be a lady and we’ll protect you…but some women want to be a stank hoe, tramp, hood chick and then still want to demand our protection.

You have to listen to what men say they need, not what you think they should need.

Disconnects between real life and social media

Earlier, I was thinking about how we see so many people post on social media, and how different the posts are from their actual life. I always found it funny to see groups of friends recording themselves laughing and having a good time, and as soon as they stop recording they all go back to frowning and not saying a word to each other. I know it has an effect on a lot of people - Especially kids that are constantly seeing these "perfect" lives and feel like their lives don't live up to their expectations. What do you think about social media and how people portray themselves?

Would you date someone with a couple kids?

Would you date someone if they had any kids? Honestly I have dated some women in the past, and a couple of them had a kid or two. I would say, that having a kid or two is not a deal breaker for me. It's when those kids are annoying brats that it becomes a deal breaker. Like damn, take care of your kids.

What are your views on this? Would you date a woman who already has a kid or two or even more?

What do you think are the keys to a successful marriage?

I feel like marriage still has value in this world and when you are paired with the right person for you, it makes life easier and more worth living. I know there are a lot of bad examples out there and reasons why it would seem best to avoid marriage but for me, I think it is an important milestone for me to cross when I am in a committed relationship, ideally before having children.

That being said, what do you think are the keys to a successful marriage in today's world? I know the times have changed and it seems like marriage has only gotten harder for a lot of people.

Where do you think the best spot to live in the US is?

In regards to states, cities, policies, freedom, wealth, opportunities, education, and all that - What spot would you say is best to live in, in the USA?

I was trying to figure this out a few months ago. It seems like each area has its positives and its negatives. Like in Wyoming. Your dollar can stretch far as hell. You can get yourself 10 acres of land with a decent house for under 200k. Property taxes aren't high either. But then you are out in the middle of nowhere with little opportunity so you'd have to be successful online or willing to travel far for work.The education is a mixed bag as well. Not much to do in terms of social luxuries either.

What Do You Bring To The Table?

The question, "what do you bring to the table?" has been stirring up a lot of controversy lately. What would you say if someone asked you that question?

I've actually been asked that before....

Boy bye! No one should have to ask this question if they're having real conversations. But some people answer and start trying to prove their worth. Most women start mentioning, "I cook, clean, operate in my feminine energy...." Sigh. There is only one you and if that person doesn't see what you bring to the table, then they shouldn't have a seat. If they don't notice your worth and your value, then again....

My response would be "I am the table." Tf. You're enough ;)

But what are your thoughts?
