Why Are Eligible Black Men in Short Supply
60Eligible Black men are short.
No, I don’t mean physically. I mean that Black women, especially women in the church just can’t get a mate. And I fear two things are going to happen if this continues. Firstly, and this is my subjective opinion, lesbianism might very well increase as women turn to each other for emotional comfort. Bad news for the Christian church despite the new concept of family being touted by many liberal theologians. I mean the thing does not perpetuate the human race, and is unnatural.
The second danger is the unequal yoking. Taken to the extreme we are seeing a deliberate decision by many successful women to just find a man to mate and get and child. Just that. No permanence, no family ethics.
So why are men short? As I look around I don’t believe that men are short. Eligible men are in short supply. So we can address the imbalance by educating our boys to become achievers, and by persuading our women to marry below their social status. You still believe that a man and a woman married to each other is the best context in which to rear children? Right?
Where are the ineligible bachelors? Two places. They are in prison. Let us rehabilitate and release them into the arms of love. Love is the best rehabilitation. The other place, the street corner watching life passing them by. Let us rescue them. Train them with employable skills, mentor them into success, and point them into the arms of love. I mean, it’s not that simple. But we have to do something or we will have a generation of loveless women, lonely women, or that tricky creature who is adept at stealing love. You know, bread eaten in secret and all that.
Yes people we will have to arrange some marriages soon or the Black race will become a herd of coke heads and gangsters hopping into the beds of overfed concubines. Just listen to the rap music or the dance hall DJs and scream in terror at what they glorify.
Then pray, really pray, that the Black man in the Diaspora will find himself. For when he does he will find himself a woman and call her his wife.

I recently helped my son bury his mom. His mom and I adopted this very handsome black man when he was 4 days old. He was so cute and cuddly and we loved him so. It was so sad for my son, my daughter and me. His mom and I had been divorced almost 11yrs but it was still hard for me - and to see them hurting like that. I watched as he read a eulogy written by my daughter and he read it so bravely and manly and I was so proud. I told him with a smile that when I grow up I want to be half the man that he had grown into. He has character and wisdom and I also told him that I had been ashamed of the family name but I'm not anymore because he has given it style and class and so has my daughter. Yes there are fine elegible black men out there and they go fast because they are a godsend to a woman who will love them. I thank God everyday for His love for my children and pray for the children of other folks of color so that men of character will be there for leadership of homes and government. PS. Your family picture makes me wish I knew you personally. You guys look so happy together. God bless you.
james: thanks for very kind words.
No body: sorry about death of ex. I feel your love for your family. Happy to hear of your son's success. Thanks for sharing.
I travel a lot so we might meet someday. We are not perfect at all, but work at it with word of God. The pic showed a perfectly happy moment except the little one was hugging us so tight he was choking us :)

I enjoyed reading your Hub. I can see this as a real problem. And I can see that the Sisters are losing quite a few of their men to white girls, too. I think I'll write a Hub about that.
You are a good writer. I'm glad you put this out there.
