Serisouly what is the deal, I know a few black dudes and they are all stand up guys, taking care of business.

I'm just curious what happening. I'm mean if we say it's racism, then how are the ladies doing so well?? I don't know???

When we find the answer, we need to let everyone else know as well!!!

Most women settle for guys that abuse, beat them, cheat, etc..., this isnt a race specific problem from my own experience. Here's the real concern. These women "settle" for whatever they can get because often they dont respect themselves enough to find a real partner or workout their own issues. You cant pin all the blame on the men when women actively seek out guys like this. If I wanted a porsche but settled for a dodge stratus then complained it didnt have a speedometer that went to 180 mph, who's the idiot? You get what you pay for people.

As far as the racism issue.......historically it has always been a lot easier for a black woman to get a job then a black man. My guess is because the men that usually do the hiring do not feel threatened by a black woman. The other thing is that we have a disproportionate amount of black men in jail..........so here goes the shortage of decent black men problem! The ones that are not in jail know that we outnumber them probably by 3 to 1 so they are in a dog mentality.......thus the issue with having all of these children with different women. Unfortunately I see this problem more in the black community then anywhere else. My thought process is........why on earth would I want to be involved with a man that has so little respect for himself that he would just lay down and make a baby with anybody?

That doesn't say alot of the guys that aren't in jail and are available, so your saying that these guys know that they have the "upper" hand in dating so they abuse it so to speak by having kids with multiple women???

I'm not so sure????

Yes the ones that are not looking for serious relationships and just want to hit it and run! As you said you are not in the black community. Trust me I have seen this kind of behavior in the black community over and over again. In fact I have seen black men who have had more then one woman pregnant at the same time!

Yeah, as a black man, I say it sucks. But it's their choice. There are a lot of good black dudes out there.

This is not about birth control or taking precautions.....that is a completely different topic......maybe someone should start a thread asking the men/women why people don't take precautions or use birth control!

This thread is about why women settle for men who were jumping from bed to bed making babies........too stupid to put on a condom.........and now have a bunch of kids!!

There's plenty of white dudes doing the same stupid shyt. Trust me, it's not a "black" thing. What about that story recently with the guy who had 9 kids out of wedlock with a bunch of different women.
