I am a black male, and I can agree that we are lacking a lot of disrespect, care, and concern when it comes to black women. I won't count myself in on the neglect because I learned to respect, love, and cherish black women through my wonderful mother and my two sisters. The comment at the end does not help. The "socio-economic excuses" statement has nothing to do with the way some black men talk to or treat black women. It is purely a lack of respect for themselves that pushes some of us to talk and act in such a manner. In the universal black diaspora, we don't accept excuses. Most of us know that we know better and should do better. Most of which is said here is relevant and true.
