If a man wants respect for himself he needs to get respect for the woman.

I just wanted to take a few moment to talk about what I find to be the the attempted suicide of the black race. I feel, as a whole the black race is attempting to kill itself in a slow, painful and very embarrassing way.

What I am saying is that the black race, more specifically is downgrading, abusing and disrespecting the black woman. There is no race on earth, that has a disrespect for its women, and at the same time the man is held in high regard and is respected the world over. No man will respect someone who does not respect a woman, especially a woman who is supposed to be under his care.

Ask yourself, how does a man react or rather how is he supposed to react when he hears that another man is abusing a woman. Well of course he reacts violently, he puts a beating on the man, worse than the beating his is giving the woman. A mans natural reaction should be to defend and protect the woman. So how can a man be respected, if he is not respecting the one that is looking to him for protection?

In this day and age the black woman is under attack by not only others outside her race, not only by society telling her how she is stereotypically supposed to be have, a society that tells her how her hair should be or how her skin should look, she is under attack by her own race. The men of her race often behave as if they are ashamed of the women.
“Oh well they have too much attitude.”
“Oh well they are always so mean.”
“Oh well etc etc.”
But ask yourself why. Why do you feel they are this way, if they, are what have you done black man to make her react this way to you? You know what over comes animosity, spite and anger? Love. Love your black woman, black man. Love her. Do not disrespect her. Do not call her out of her name. No matter how close you are she will never be your bitch, that is not a term of endearment. A word cannot be both hot and cold.

The bible says “Out of the same mouth comes praise and cursing, my brothers this should not be.” Lets take that thought a step further. How can the same word bitch be used affectionately for your lover and then a half hour later the woman that cut you off in traffic, well you call her a bitch. Out of the same mouth comes praise and cursing. My brothers this should not be.

Treat your woman with respect, love her cherish her with actions and with words, and then you too will be respected. You cannot command respect through disrespect. You cannot command respect through cruelty, you will evoke only fear. Rather you get respect through respectable living, respectable behavior. And you will notice, when you start to respect your woman, when you start to demand respect for her, others will respect you. You will notice that the black women, then will start to respect her self, start to feel that maybe her hair needn’t look European, maybe she is beautiful in her dark skin, and just maybe, just maybe her man is not just another nigga.

Black people need to respect each other in the home before we can demand respect in the world. Respect starts with the man and the woman. Then when others step out of line and call your woman a nappy headed hoe you will be in your rights, to stand up for your woman. Then the coward cannot hide behind your words and say.
“Well you call her that.”
Just like a child, you know that’s what is said. How can you be upset with a child if all day you are cursing around the child cursing at the child, and when the child curses at you, you want to start acting a parent and discipline the child. No. You are teaching the child wrong, and then disciplining them for your poor behavior. People watch us, they watch how we treat each other. Let the cowards now that it is time out for disrespecting our black women, let them know its time out for disrespecting you black man. And you may think,
“Well they don’t come to my face and say anything.”
No of course not, they say it to your woman, they tell her straighten her hair you will look pretty. They put filth in her mind and tell her she is a hoe, and that money is everything and that its okay to give yourself out on Saturday nights. That’s disrespect.

If a man wants respect for himself he needs to get respect for the woman. There is no other way.
