The 2nd part of my response was not directed at you so I don't see the point in you mentioning all the many places you have been. I only mentioned that fact to say that I have traveled throughout the US and have had the opportunity to meet other AA women outside of my immediate block.
Now me saying this argument was pointless was more so referring to me defending African American women to West Indians/ Africans because yall are gonna think what you want to.
When I mentioned "tv dinners" I was quoting Leroys original complaint about chicks taking "tv dinners" to work. I never said your mother was on welfare *shrugs* I'm not even sure what your point was with that.
Either way it is ignorant to classify and/or categorize any one particular group , sex or race.

My point in mentioning my mother was not just to say she wasn't on welfare (female games...your selective referencing) it was to counter you comment...specifically
. My mother worked, took care of us and cooked too...is that really that difficult to comprehend? The T.V. dinner comment may have referenced Leroy's "original complaint" but it was said within the syntax of the reply to your message to me...thus it was relavent.as long as she works, she's not on welfare and takes are of her kids

Defending isn't what we need as black men and women sista...we need reconcilliation. We have serious issues, when it's too difficult to cook a hot meal for a man. Vice Versa, it's a serious issue when a black man won't work or can't stay out of prison. So it's not all on you.

I'm not classifying, I'm specifically speaking from experience and I can name the women and give you their email addresses to validate what I'm saying...can you do the same. Because I don't think you can find 99 out of 100 American sistas who cook for their man or even know how to cook. It was not a priority with our past generation of women, they were too busy tellin' their daughters..."You can do anything a man can do", "don't listen to him, keep your own mind". It is a fact, west indian women and african women take pride in providing meals for the families, this came from "West Indian Women and African Women I spoke too directly". They don't consider it shameful or submissive...American black women do.
