“We are sending you to represent us!!!” My path to success in life as dictated by my parents aka I had very little say in this process.

Oftentimes, the most difficult subjects to speak about are the most personal ones.

So, I must tell you that when the co-host of our weekly MRCi (Manhood, Race, and Culture interactive) meetings (tonight suggested that I address the topic of how I arrived at professional and life success, I was a bit frightened. This subject forced me to revisit my upbringing and seek some understanding of the path that I was sometimes dragged across against my will.

In many ways, this topic put me in a corner whose only escape would occur by revisiting my upbringing and the environment that my parents intentionally created — please join us tonight (February 11, 2021) at 7:30 (EST) — 6:30 pm (CST) for a discussion regarding the tactics and environs that Black parents from Mansfield, Ohio, created for their son to arrive at success.

WHAT ARE THE 3 QUALITIES BLACK MEN LOOK FOR WHEN SEARCHING FOR A BLACK WIFE: A MANHOOD RACE CULTURE INTERACTIVE EVENT

I have learned to avoid discussing a few topics in public because of their uncanny ability to cause people to lose their minds. One of the foremost of these taboo topics is Black Love issues, particularly if it calls for any criticism of Black women.

Trust me when I say that if you want to get emotions flowing and possibly a good cuss out, lay any portion of the blame for failed relationships and marriages at the feet of Black women. It is not a stretch of the imagination to say that such an encounter holds the potential to leave your ego bruised, your soul battered, and your sleep pattern disrupted. So, I avoid this topic unless it occurs with Black women that are in my inner-circle.

Yet, I realize that this extremely rough terrain called Black Love must be covered if Black America is ever to come together and create loving families that most agree are the building blocks to strong children and a stronger nation. So, I thought it was somewhat fortuitous when Professor Carl Tone Jones agreed to lead tonight’s Manhood, Race, and Culture Interactive session to discuss the three qualities that Black men are looking for in a Black wife.

I, like other members in our robust and dedicated intellectual community, are looking forward to hearing Professor Carl Tone Jones’ presentation as it promises to be an initial step for many Black women to hear and ask questions of Black men regarding what are the qualities that lead them to pursue some women for matrimony eagerly and to avoid others by any means necessary.

This an open invitation for you to join us tonight (January 7, 2021) at 7:30 EST / 6:30 CST for what promises to be a vibrant and intellectually stimulating discussion as we kick off our initial 2021 session of Manhood, Race, and Culture Interactive.
