I will participate if you will or other sisters will... I will not if it is just me though...

You think Bro. Michael wants to hear our voices huh?

You may be right, perhaps... girl


MBM:

What steps need to take place after a member has decided to participate? Several people have agreed...

And I, too, have the same questions that Rowe has asked...

What are the topics? etc...


Salaam....

I am not trying to be funny, but I think the title of the thread is self explanatory... He needs 1 male and 1 female... the topic: Relationships...

Fantastic, and I sincerely appreciate all of your help in . . . producing this show!! tfro tfro

I'll just need those participating to call in at 8:55 PM EDT on Thursday. Remember - the number is (718)508-9712!

quote:
What are the topics? etc...


I foresee just throwing out general questions, like:

  • what is your opinion about the state of African American male/female relationships?

  • do you think there is a difference is white versus black m/f relationships? (i.e. is there something particular about black relationships versus any others?)

  • the popular conception is that there are fewer eligible black men out there for our black women. have you (the women members) found this to be the case? how has that impacted your lives?

  • if so, what has this dynamic done to the over-all "dating" or "relationship" dynamic between African America men and women?

  • have you ever dated outside your race? what was that experience like?

  • would you ever marry a person of another race?

  • if there are members on the "panel" who are not married, why?

    ETC.

    I'll put some more thought into it, but this is the general direction: just topical questions about African American relationships/dating etc. I didn't see the BET show, but there should be NO tension here. I just would love for us to explore the issue like the intelligent mature folks that we are.

    BTW - I'd love to get a diversity of ages too. It might be interesting to have some younger folks talk about their experiences and to compare and contrast them with older members. It would be great to get some of the "more seasoned" members to offer whatever words of wisdom that they might have for the younger ones too! 15

    Anyway - again - this will be completely low key and no pressure. I'll just throw questions out there and people will be free to jump in (or not) as they see fit. I'll ask clarifying or follow-up questions just to get a better sense of how and why you think the way you do.

    Y'all know me. This ain't Tim Russert here! 16

    I really appreciate all of the energy that all of you have put into thinking about this and really really look forward to Thursday @ 9!!! 16

    Any takers? tfro



    Can we volunteer people and then make requests of them? And although you ask for one each, there are brothers/sisters here that hold differing perspectives within their gender... How about 2 each?

    I'd like to see:

    1. Male= Either "Audio Guy" or "One" representing one side
    and either "Radio Raheem" or "Ddouble" representing the
    other

    2. Female= Either "ma'am"; "Negrospiritual"; "Rowe" or "Oshun
    Auset" or "Little Minx"

    (the females listed have a good mix of opposing viewpoints individually)


    What do you think? Or is there wisdom to your choice to limit it to one person per gender?


    Salaam....



    thank you Ms. Lady K, as always, much love...but I will be working out of state at that time. I do love this topic and will love others like it in the near future. thanks

    thank you but...
    I don't think people [women] want to hear what I have to say on topic such as these. My views cut too close to the bone for many of the members here...as shown by my hate mail over the years. I think the convo will flow much better without my opinion in it. I might however call in to promote the relationship book that I am co-authoring....hopefully in 2009 tfro

    Kallqa and Rowe were excellent as well as AG


    it was good to put a voice with the screen name





    When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak
