An Open Letter of apology to black men: I’m So Sorry
June 20, 2014 Filed under black women, News, Relationships, Uncategorized Posted by admin
This is an open letter to black men written by Nojma Muhammad. Please give us your thoughts after reading it. She is apologizing for things that she feels black women have done to harm black men and their families. The letter explains that Muhammad feels that she has been taught to believe that black women don’t need black men and that she can make herself stronger by bringing black men down.
Muhammad’s overture to black men is written as a peace offering of sorts, a way to reconcile with black men and let them know that they are loved. Perhaps black men can return the favor by saying “thank you” and respecting good black women when they enter into their lives. Every reconciliation has to start with a peace offering, and this is the one that has everyone talking on the Internet. Maybe rather than thinking like a man, black men and women will come together to discuss their relationships and families so that unity can be achieved.
Tell us what you think: Have the “ideas of the enemy” led black women astray? What should men do now?
I have become a woman that you no longer recognize. I have allowed our enemy to impregnate me with his ideas and thoughts. I have allowed an illusion of independence to keep us separated. I have fooled myself into believing that my degrees place me degrees above you.
I humbly come to you asking forgiveness. I come to you asking you to forgive me for not supporting you. I come to you asking you to forgive me for not truly loving you. I was taught to hate myself, then hate you. My desire to reproduce you was killed by our enemy. I apologize for teaching my daughters that you will fail them, and continuning the cycle of an illusion of indepedence with them. I apologize for not encouraging you, for not being more patient with you, for not understanding your plight, your trials and your tribulations.
I apologize for thinking in order to gain strength I had to weaken you. I apologize for disturbing your peace, in order to have peace within myself, or what I thought was peace. My life has been in peril without you. I tried to convince myself that I don’t need you, but you are a necessity. I can’t even continue the cycle of life without you. I apologize for my harsh tone, for using my tongue as a sword, for telling you that you are nothing, when in fact you are everything.
I apologize for mistreating you, disrespecting you, neglecting you and belittling you. I know that I have aided in breaking you, and I am beneficial in rebuilding you. I am acknowleding the wrongs that I have committed against you,and I am confessing my faults. By acknowledging my wrongs, doesn’t mean I am absolving you of your duty, but rather I am re-committing myself to my duty to you.
I have relinquished my womb from our enemy and I am returning it to it’s rightful owner; you.
I tried to walk this journey of life without you, but I realized that I should be walking this journey with you, and beside you.I pray that you accept my sincere apology, and that we can start the process of reconciliation, so we can love each other and have productive and successful relationships that will set the standard for our children.
Black Man……….I love you…..
Signed,
A Black Woman who concedes that her womb was one of many…….
