You are in their heads and expectations and underestimating the influence of the black woman to our culture.
You have the consider the starting point of the black woman in our society. Alot of black women hold the men that they date to the standard of what they feel like they themselves are worth having in a man. Alot of the men out here, hold themselves to the standard of the women they can obtain. And they only elevate when the conditions are necessary to meet the standards of the women they want.
Case in point, tricking used to be frowned upon..till the standard of what women expected of men elevated. Then its, it ain't tricking if you got it. Move away from the toxicness of that but toward the substance of the thought process involved.
As black women elevate and the professionalism and stability of their lives becomes more important. So to does the expectation that black men fit into that in order for them to obtain these women.
So to does the standard of what black men feel they need to adhere to elevates. As they elevate, so do we. From the outside looking it, it looks like the brash, alpha black man runs the community. No...it is the black woman. And "they"..underestimate her influence
We shouldnt
I agree with everything you said.
