I don't know any guys like that. There are few things better than a women who expresses her love for a man through her cooking. Ahhh...  Ubuntu - I am what I am, because of who we all are.

I just noticed it too. I didn't know it was for real though! I don't know if I find ithorrible or if I find it appropriate. This is a wonderful thread! Egungun, Egungun ni t'aiye ati jo! Ancestos, Ancestors come to earth and dance! "I'm sick of the war and the civilization that created it. Let's look to our dreams, and the magical; to the creations of the so-called primitive peoples for new inspirations." - Jaques Vache and Andre Breton "Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone." -John Maynard "You know that in our country there were even matriarchal societies where women were the most important element. On the Bijagos islands they had queens. They were not queens because they were the daughters of kings. They had queens succeeding queens. The religious leaders were women too..." -- Amilcar Cabral, Return to the Source, 1973    |

I love it too when women cook for me, but alot of times I'm afraid to admit it. I get scared of being viewed as a "sexist" for saying that. ---------------------------------- "Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital.

I love that black women know better than anyone else where I've been in my life and what I go through. We share a past and present.
The hope that keeps me looking for the right one is that I will find a Sista that also knows where I'm going. Then we shall be of one mind. |

WHAT men have YOU been speaking with. I can't think of ANY man that doesn't like (may not always appreciate) a women that can cook. It so rare to find one. _______________________ "Morality cannot be legislated but behaviour can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart but they can restrain the heartless."

I was blessed with 3 mothers – my mother and my two sisters. My oldest sister use to carry me around with her like I was her baby. Unfortunately, my fond memories are few due to the fact that my mother worked, and my sisters are much older and weren't around a lot when I was growing up. I only saw my mother's mother once a year if that.
But the thing I love the most and admire the most is the strength of black women. I've watched my mother, sisters, and many other women for that matter, deal with a lot of heartache and general bullshit in their lives. And there is no denying that it takes a strong woman to live as a slave. To take care of someone else's brats, care for your own, only to have them taken away and sold, to be raped AND have to carry and care for the child conceived from it. What kind of strength the modern women of Africa must have? To live in the midst of war and watch your children slowly starve or die from some simple and easily curable disease. To be raped and abused by soldiers. Then there is their beauty. They come in all shapes, sizes and hues - from the blue black to high yellow. There hips, thighs, lips and eyes. Those silky voices...especially when they say the words I love you. So it's easy to understand why I married such a strong willed, dark skinned woman. The inscription she put in my wedding band reads "To my Pill sweetner". She's a pill but I love her...  _______________________ "Morality cannot be legislated but behaviour can be regulated.

I love Lauryn Hill! This sista is brilliant, talented, and beautiful. And a few years ago one of her songs really made a difference in my life. I had just turned 30 - which for some reason was traumatic - and I had broken up with a girlfriend. Then I learned that my unmarried sister was having a baby. And for some reason this last piece of news hit me the hardest. I fell into a funk. It was Lauryn Hill's song To Zion that made me realize something very good could come out of the situation. I listened to this song over and over. And that feeling I had was right. Something great did come out of it. I love my nephew as if he were my own child. I'm closer to my sister than I've ever been. And I'm extremely proud of her for being the survivor that she is.

I was at an open mike night recently. As someone sang a song the sista in front of me started to move to the melody where she sat. And then I thought about HOW MUCH I love the way black women move to music. Her arms were raised keeping the beat, fingers snapping, and her head bobbed, shoulders rolling, fluidly swaying with her body from side to side. Here and there she waved an outstretched hand silently testifying. All the while beaming with her smile. So much unconscious expressive joy being communicated through this woman's body. Sexy but completely innocent. That's what we call Soul. Sistas have SOUL.

I love Coretta Scott King who was forever beautiful, gracious, and just as visionary as her famous husband:
Martin Luther King, who was studying for his doctorate in theology at Boston University, had told a mutual friend he was looking for a wife. The friend gave him Coretta Scott's phone number but when he came calling she was not impressed. "I saw this green car coming up the street and this short man," she said in an interview. "He leaned over to open the door, and when I got in the car I saw this very young looking man. I thought, 'Oh my God, I expected to see a man but this is a boy."' When he began to speak, however, she changed her mind. She never had any doubt that King was going to battle the status quo. "Even at the time we were courting," she said, "Martin was deeply concerned -- and indignant -- with the plight of the Negro in the United States." They were married at her parents' home on June 18, 1953, and had four children: Yolanda Denise, born in 1955; Martin Luther III, born in 1957; Dexter Scott, born in 1961; and Bernice Albertine, born in 1963. In 1956 they moved to Montgomery, Alabama, where the 26-year-old minister became active in civil rights, including the boycott of the Montgomery bus system. Bishop Long said she "understood what she was getting into" when she married Martin Luther King. "She said a statement that burned in the heart of my wife and myself, she said when she married Martin, she did not marry a man, she married a vision," he said. __________________________________________________________________ "I certainly appreciate your concern, and I would appreciate anything that you can do to help." That was the dignified but worried request for help that Coretta Scott King made in a phone conversation with Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy. There was good reason for her plea for help. In early 1959, her husband, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was sentenced to four months of hard labor at Georgia's notorious Reidsville State Prison, after being arrested on a trumped-up traffic warrant, as well as probation violation. (The latter charge stemmed from King's earlier arrest at a sit-in demonstration.) Coretta was deeply pained that King might not make it out of Reidsville alive. There had been rumors and threats of foul play against him. During the tense days of King's imprisonment, Coretta frantically worked the phones trying to get any help she could for King's release. At the time, Kennedy was locked in a tight White House race with Republican Vice President Richard Nixon. Kennedy made the call partly out of sincere concern for King, and partly with an eye on the black vote. Coretta's efforts paid off for King; also for Kennedy, who sunk Nixon. The Democrats turned the call into a giant public relations coup. Kennedy's action was credited with tipping large numbers of blacks toward the Democrats. Nixon -- the early odds on the favorite to win the presidency -- lost by a narrow margin. King was soon released unharmed, and the civil rights movement gained greater steam and vigor in the next couple of years. Coretta's dogged determination to save her husband energized the civil rights fight and changed the course of a presidential election, as well as race relations in America. It was fitting that Kennedy's life-affirming and politically profound phone call was made to Coretta. In December 1955, she and King anxiously kept watch at the front window of their home in Montgomery, Alabama to make sure that there were no black riders on the buses. She stood, walked and cheered arm in arm with him at countless civil rights marches, demonstrations and rallies. She endured King's long absences and the gossipy rumors of his infidelities, and kept the family and the marriage together. That meant great personal sacrifice. For years, the King family lived in what could charitably be described as a ramshackle house. As his family grew in size, friends and family members begged him to move to a larger house. King resisted. An exasperated Coretta fired back at King's critics that her husband "felt that it was inconsistent with his philosophy" to own property. Eventually King gave in and paid the grand sum of $10,000 for a bigger home. But he continued to complain that the house was "too big" and "elegant." Though King critics delighted in taking took pot shots at him for his shun of personal wealth and the ownership of private property, Coretta's greatest concern remained in fulfilling King's dream, and that did not include fattening their bank account........ |

This is a beautiful thread. It is so nice to read such powerful and positive things about Black women. Love to all who responded. I, for one, truly appreciate the love, sincerity and thoughfulness.

I love to kiss black women. Sistas have lips that are truly built for comfort: soft and luxurious. So luscious that they're lethal. I can spend all night long just kissing on a black women.
