A Strong Black Man Who Knows When to Cry..
I listened to this blog post on radio, thought I'd share it with you guys. Oh yes blogs have made it into the mainstream big time. The line gets increasingly blurry everyday.
It was looking to be a bad week for black men "up top" — brothers ascended to high places.During the weekend there was (Your Sexuality) tour, emceed by gospel singer Donnie McClurkin, who says God delivered him from homosexuality (John, I really do not see whats shameful about this though, but hey! -Omodudu's addition). Time Warner had to deny rumors that CEO Dick Parsons might be on his way out. And now , or the golden parachute, at Merrill Lynch...."I thought you said strong black men don't cry." To which I reply: "A really strong black man always cries when he's talking about how much he loves his family." ...There are, of course, millions of Donald Drivers out there. They quietly go about their business of being strong black men. It's unfortunate the media tends to focus on black men when they're acting like, or actually being, thugs. Or only after a Jena Six-type miscarriage of justice.
