White Side Of Town

I'm getting dressed for work. My cell phone is ringing . I look. Its Corporate America. He never calls me this early in the morning wtf could be this important . I answer " Yo " Corporate says " I don't know if i'm more dissapointed at the fact that my recent love interest hasn't called me all week or that Clipperman tried to hook me up with a chick even he wouldn't f#@k " I say " Ooooh Clipperman's referral came over last night after I bounced huh." Corporate responds with a sigh " Yeah but I was a gentlemen. I sat there and watched that bullshit Flavor of Love( side note I knew Hoopz would win. ) until it was over just to be polite" I respond "She wasn't your type huh" Corporate " No where close. What the hell was Clipperman thinking " I say " Well I know how picky you are. Did she at least look like someone I would date ?" Corporate " Nah bruh I wouldn't do it to ya". I respond " That bad !!!!! Whew " We both start laughing


Corporate met this nice woman a few months back. I thought she was a good match for him . Pretty, slim, nice style & great personality. After meeting her at his superbowl party. I told him it might be worthwhile spending more time with her. Which he quickly started to do.

The first month for him was gravy. The second month was when the problems started. She put the brakes on him. Something about them moving too fast. Then two days after telling Corporate that bullshit she up an changes her mind and says to him " I was being a bit hasty in my decision" meaning she spoke to one of her girlfriends and they told her she was being an ass. Corporate already had a bad taste in his mouth, but decided to have dinner with her anyway. The end of the evening he pulls up in front of her apt. She makes a move to give him a kiss and a hug. Corporates feelings already hurt , decides thats not the best thing and says to her " Maybe we should hold off on the PDA since it makes you uncomfortable and we don't want that now do we" She gives Corporate a you gotta be kidding me glance and says " Whatever " gets out out of the car and walks into her apt. He hasn't heard from her since.

Last wednesday Shawnla asked me to watch her 8 year old son so she could take her mother to see the Color Purple. Whoa!!??? Well I knew how it hard was for her to ask , but I was touched at the same time so I said yes. Do you know!!!!! I have sent that woman at least 2 text messages and one phone message just to check on her well being and she hasn't responded to them at all !!!! What ever happened to common courtesy its not like I was asking to come over her house to bone.

After I tell Corporate that war story I say " I swear the lack of respect Black Women have for Black Men is increasing at alarming rate. " Corporate laughing " The older they get the worse it gets" I say " Yeah. I think i'm done with this bullshit. Its time to see if the grass is really greener on the white side of town" Corporate responds " Bruh you ain't saying nothing I ain't been thinking about my damn self. I say we explore all our options" I say " What you got in mind playboy" Corporate responds " I know at least 5 spots where the Snow Bunnies are in abundance. I say this Friday we let go of our inhibitions and broaden our search" I say " We ain't got nothing to lose"


Don't worry my Nubian Queens I haven't given up on ya just giving you time TO GET YO SHIT TOGETHER!!!!! till then i'll be on the white side of town.

slish stop while ur ahead. listen no matter what race u are. women are facesty and emotional. only thing with a black women is when we are angry we can give a rat's ass if ur angry or how ever long u stay angry. white women don't want to fu*k up the lavish dinners, expensive gift, and they want to make sure ur happy every morning to go to work and make that money.

Holding our Black men accountable is something we do very well, which scares some of you, especially when you are trying to run game on us...and you realize the game no longer works

Go on and and go...you'll be back

A good woman will respect you and respect herself. A good woman will admit when she's wrong and tell you when you are - without making you feel less than a man. A good woman will be your strength, motivation and support and expect nothing less in return. A good woman will bring it in the bedroom and in the boardroom. A good woman will be kind to her sisters of all races, regardless of hers. A good woman will support any healthy relationship even if she isn't in one.

Regardless of the color of her skin.. find a good one.

On Nov 3rd u thought that Latin is were it's at, but now you feel white is right? Come on now, maybe something is wrong with u. Why not seek therapy? Try it. It may help.

@ anonymous where in this post did I mention white was right. Just made a statement about broadening my horizons there is nothing wrong with that. Never said I was giving up on Black Women.

Its Black Women who have given up on us...

Truth be told it was my therapist who suggested I date outside of my race...

@ Sandra Dee. I agree with that statement completely.

Don't let these women get to you, brother. I understand the nuances of what you're saying. They are looking at the concrete possibility of "losing" a brother. In essence you're just asking to be treated better, to be given the benefit of the doubt, just like the hundred other cats they let bone before you.

Hey Slish:

I haven't commented in a long time but I continued to read. I don't think that changing the "race" of women you pursue will make things any easier. Perhaps the "type" of women is what you need to reconsider. I think love comes in all colors but when you decide to try a new race let it be simply because you met someone who just happens to be white or whatever not because you think you will have a better chance or an easier life if she isn't black. You are opening yourself up for disappoinment because she is still human with all of her issues and hangups and she is still a woman. Good luck to ya!

@ Ondrea whats up..You don't call don't write..lol

Please read my post again. I did not say I would have a better life with a white woman or any other woman from another race. I've just decided not to limit myself.

@ Zed THANK YOU BRUH!!!! You F#$%KING GET IT!!!!!

If the man wants to try out for the winter olympics, let him be. This shit kills me when black women want to chime in on who a brother should date when some may not even want to deal with the brother on a personal level.

Fuck all of y'all and let the man explore other possibilties.

I am with Venom. I wasn't yesterday but I am today. After talking to my good friend Zed I have decided to do as Slish and explore the possibilities within another race of men. I have dated nothing but black men. It's time for me to broaden my horizons...because what I have been dealing with all my life has not really worked for me AT ALL.

So I am taking the last line of Venom's comment and applying to MY LIFE.

*maybe not "white" men...but a version of one...like an italian or even staying with the brown family and reaching out to some latino men...:-) Aw hell, I think this might be more difficult than I thought.

And don't come back.

Venom...the reason sistas take issue is bec niggas have a habit of "blaming" us for "not having our shit together" and then make us responsible for their lil bunny hunt. Fuck yall. If it was really about exploring other options it wouldn't have shit to do with us.

And Slish, ya boy is a Bitch for getting sensitive when the woman didn't jump right on his dick when he was feeling her. Why should she call his bitch azz after that childish snub in the car?

@ so wise sista. Why my boy gotta be a bitch. His feelings were hurt. You telling me only women can express how hurt they are when they think a budding relationship is going well and then the rug gets pulled out from underneath them. CMON!!!!! Grow Up!!!

Last time I checked both genders still bleed when cut by a sharp intrument and we all know words can cut just as deep

For someone who claims to be so wise. That was a very uninformed statement.

But since I like ya. You get a pass Young Jedi..:)

Hopefully your journey to the white side is an affrimation that it's not black women. We are not the problem. Finding the right one... takes time and patience.

I agree with So wise... (Sister preach!) Black men love to displace blame, and we carry the brunt of it, until you meet those black women that are one/and actualized with themselves, that see through BS.
Black men have to step up to the plate and acknowledge their shortcomings also.

We as women have to deal with the same Bullshit from our Nubian kings.

It's all trial and error.

Like they say you gotta kiss alot of frogs.!

@so wise sista. How can sista take issue with someone she doesn't even know? How about dealing with the brothas on a case by case basis before passing judgement.

Venom: "@so wise sista. How can sista take issue with someone she doesn't even know? How about dealing with the brothas on a case by case basis before passing judgement."

Very well sad Venom...and if brothas did the same case by case effort, then there would be less of this same blame game going on when they explore other options. Could it be we agree? lol

Slish, as for your boy...of course he can have his feelings hurt. I love a good emotionally available man. But the way he manifested that hurt - by snubbing her when she tried to get it on and poppin - was, in my humble opinion, bitchy. So I understand why the sista was like, "whatever." I'm just sayin.

We would gladly give Brothers the benefit of the doubt, if any of them extended the same benefit to us. Black men who run off to what could have gotten them lynched fifty years ago because one or two Black women hurt them, are running from what could be the very thing they need in their lives.

Blackwomen have stood by Blackmen through slavery and the depression, two world wars, the civil rights movement...we were 'understanding' through years of joblessness, cheating and domestic violence (which is rampant in theBlack community) and now that Black women have a little money, education and wherewithal of our own and we want to claim our prize, our men, yall are no where to be found...off with someone else, because its easier?!?!? What part of what we've already done for you in the past 400 years was easy?

I dont want "something new." I worked hard, put myself through school, got my own place to live and I want a good Blackman. I deserve one. Trouble is, he doesnt want me.

@ChezNiki...DAAAAAAAAMN - I could NOT have said that any better! No harm to anybody but the Black woman said a mouth full that time.

Sisters come with all types of baggage and we gotta be alright with it. You wanna be independent when it suits you, but there is responsibility that comes with every freedom. There is no independence with an on/off switch.

You want a good man? It might be too late for some of y'all to get a good black man, because you made a choice when you were younger. For example, maybe the good black man was broke and studying hard because he saw the future. Maybe you wanted immediate gratification and chose the cat with loot RIGHT NOW. And maybe it didn't work out and now there are children involved. Why do I (or better yet some "actual" good cat) have to bear the burden of raising another dude's kids? My advice is to talk to the young women before it's too late and the cycle repeats.

Looking at the remnants of slavery, we likely stuck together out of being forced to stick together, not out of a sense of loyalty. When have we seemed united in THIS lifetime?

The bottom line is we gotta give each other the benefit of the doubt. All the fuck we got is US. That's it.

VERY well put, Zed. Slish, you're such an instigator. lol But...I will say, the same goes for the brothas who back in the day chose the girl who gave it up on the first date, or the one who offered to buy you Jordans. Now you crying cuz the good chick who couldn't go out cuz she had church in the morning is with some thug. ;)
