And Another One From "Ignorant Ass Men And Liars"

“Man, you better ask these hoes about me. I run up in so many bitches, you’d swear I was a gynecologist.” Rich moved in closer to me, a tactic I’d seen used a million times by people who were trying to build my confidence in them in order for them to sell me things. Rich was the type of guy that, if you had a story, he had a slightly better one of the same variety. If you had a six-figure income, he had a seven figure one. If you had a 2,500 square foot home, his happened to be 5,000 square feet.

From "Ignorant Ass Men and Liars"

Sometimes being a Black man and knowing so many other Black men intimately well, I felt greatly disadvantaged when it came to being optimistic about our collective future as a race. It seemed possible that the social realities of the Black community and Black family that desperately needed to change might not change anytime soon considering the attitudes and ideology some Black men I knew had. Far too many men thought like boys.
