American black women still complaining

When I came back to the US, what struck me was how much nothing had changed. In fact, it got worse. The women actually got fatter. I think American men don't really know how huge their female counterparts are, until they venture abroad, and then return. It really is something else. When I was in Bratislava, you could almost immediately spot the American female tourist. She was typically at least a size 14, and wore tacky jeans or jorts (jean shorts), and sneakers. This was the American woman. Fat, frumpy, poorly dressed and wearing sneakers. They stuck out like a sore thumb.

Anyway, another reminder of how things remained the same was American black women yapping about "no good black men" around, how they are single etc. They are complaining even more now to the media. I just have to laugh at this. I spent an extensive amount of time in West Africa (Ghana, Cameroon, Nigeria, Senegal) and South American countries with sizable Afro-Latino/black populations (Costa Rica, Honduras, Colombia) and the difference in those black women and American black women is staggering. To the American black men lamenting their pond scum options of black women in the US, may I remind you that most black people are NOT in America? Get a passport and travel. Become a global citizen.

The main disparity in foreign black women and their American counterparts is attitude. From my stay in several West African countries, I found the local women to be highly charming, astute, hospitable and very educated. I mean, educated on a level that most people in America could only dream of. We need to turn off western images and news media about people in the world, Africa in particular. Your news is lying to you. Everyone there isn't poor, isn't in a jungle, isn't starving etc. The only place I saw animals were in a preserve, animal park and zoo. To get back to the women, I noticed that almost all of them were in school or working towards advanced degrees. If they left their country, it was usually to further their studies, and return home or find work. The difference between them and American black women is that they are not their degrees. For them, it's an end to a means. For American black women, they become their degrees. They remind you they have them. Funny part about it is that these African women actually have advanced degrees, many of them in the sciences, math, and engineering fields, so it wasn't a powder fluff curriculum like womyn studies, liberal arts or some such nonsense.

The other major disparity was in appearance. No fatties. No $1,000 weaves. No stupid tattoos. No baby daddies or kids out of wedlock. It really is something to behold. Women who are unspoiled by feminism. Women who are smart, kind, loyal, fit, chaste and beautiful. Did I mention no tattoos? It seems most American women under 35 are sporting some form of ghastly ink.

So coming from this, I do find it hilarious that American black women are complaining about the lack of quality black men. The women complaining are assuming that they deserve a quality man in the first place, and that they are in fact quality women. Here's the reality, a demure, beautiful, quality woman will have no problems finding a man. If you're a woman and you do have these problems, you need an honest evaluation of yourself. When was the last time you heard foreign black women complaining about their inability to find good men? That's right, never.
