ready to get this conversation popped off because I have a conversation that I feel like Dr Umar you are absolutely most qualified to help us out on here because man when I turn on you know my computer and I I I look on social media or just see the conversations that’s being had it seems like it’s truly a Great Divide corre between black men and women today true especially in in the space of love and relationships correct it just seems like we don’t have a a ton of trust among one another you know everybody is very cynical about long-term Rel relationships and this is I would call it a major crisis right now in our community I would agree with that we already know we have an economic crisis in the community but now we see that this family and this relational crisis that we have that’s Rising which one would you say is greater right now as far as a issue or potential issue for the future of our our relationships and our family I would say that they related uh if we look at this in its proper context we go back and we see that the rise of the single black mother- Le household doesn’t begin until the 70s up until then most of our homes had a mother and a father so slavery didn’t destroy the black family we stayed married through slavery I know my ancestors in particular they kept the family together through slavery so it wasn’t slavery that did it it was the economic disintegration of the black community so after they assassinated Dr King the US government decided upon a policy to destroy the black men’s ability to fund any future civil rights efforts so they came into the inner cities and they took out all the all the factory jobs stripped the black man of his ability to earn remember up until the 70s they were not pushing go to college in order to be a success you could live a decent life working in any of the major in cities as a laborer so they took that out then they went into the high schools and stripped the high schools of the industrial building training programs so carpentry auto mechanic welding Roofing uh electric plumbing they took all that out those was the skills that paid the bills in essence what they did was they made the black man economically irrelevant to the black woman I want to say that one more time the 70s was the beginning of the process of making the black man economically irrelevant to the black woman a man’s primary responsibility is to protect and to provide we can protect but the providing is the issue now you fast forward 65 years until now since Dr King’s assassination a lot of our women don’t understand the political history that brought about the economic Devastation of the black male if my woman Wes makes more money than me that in and of itself is not a problem unless she attributes the reason she makes more money than me to the fact that I’m lazy I’m shiftless I’m irresponsible I’m unaccountable it’s the interpret ration of the reality that’s our problem because if my woman makes more money than me then so be it that shouldn’t necessarily be an issue unless she feels some types of way about that or if I feel some type of way about that because it does go both ways you have sisters who feel like they can emotionally abuse and emasculate Brothers if they have more education and income on the flip side you got brothers who cannot accept a relationship where the woman out earns and out educates him so it can go both ways but that economic piece is Major because we’re the only men in America who are out earned by our women we’re the only ones and it’s by Design now when you come to YouTube and you see the back and forth banter between the men and the women a lot of that is due to poor political education and understanding of the reality but another part of it is trauma see we got to understand when we get emotional we’re dealing with our unconscious pains and memories nobody’s in the present moment when you get emotional the minute you are overrun by your emotions that’s your trauma talking and one of the reasons black male female relationships are so dysfunctional is you got traumatic man trying to relate to traumatic woman neither one of them is dealing with the person across the table because they’re both reacting from past hurt which is why I believe that when you get out of one relationship before you go into another one you need a period of healing because if in fact you were in love it’s going to take you a while to heal your soul back because love is the process of two becoming one so if that was really love before you move on you got to take a break and heal the problem gentlemen is we don’t like to take the break and heal and the reason why black men and black women don’t like to take the break to heal is when you are in solitude and this is why spirituality functions on a foundation of solitude when you are alone your soul forces to the surface issues in your life that you need to address dress that you don’t feel like addressing so the reason I’m rushing out to get another woman isn’t because I’m ready to build another relationship it’s because when I’m home alone I deal with my abandonment of my mother I deal with my sexual abuse of my uncle I deal with the emotional emasculation I suffered from my mother I’m dealing with the bullying from my siblings you see that so how do you escape your internal demons you run out and you date and so in the black community dating and mating has become the new EST drug is how we escape from taking responsibility for our emotional health wow damn dating is the new drug I mean that makes perfect sense dating absolutely has become a drug and we talked about that a bit with us not wanting to deal with our baggage so you you covered a spectrum of issues that we having right now that got us here you talked about how pretty much the government has played a hand in our circumstance our trauma has played a hand in our circumstance absolutely and those two together you know has created pretty much what we see today correct when we’re looking that the band are coming uh uh that’s happening between men and women yes today this is the the uh the the outcome of that are we my issue is are we do you see us preparing for the resolve do we have things in place right now for us to have realistic solution I don’t think so and the reason why I don’t believe we are there yet if I look at it from a therapeutic standpoint in order for me to get to a place of resolve to a place of solution I have to be willing to empathically hear the other side out we don’t hear the other side we talk to each other but we do not listen it’s yelling the women are yelling at the brothers the brothers are yelling at the women I have yet to hear a serious conversation on YouTube that that involved reflective listening so sister based on what you’re telling me you hurt because you have had man after man come into your life use you for your physical assets and fail to invest in you as a woman am I hearing you yes you’re hearing me how can we do better as men to not disappoint our women because see here’s the situation as we know the woman is the first teacher of the child so that scorn unconsciously she’s not doing it on purpose but the scorn is being passed down to the daughter you see that so the daughter is being raised with this animosity towards black men before she’s even old enough to date or understand what it is so if we as men want to improve the relationship opportunities for our grand children’s grandchildren we have to be much more careful with the hearts of our women because whatever pain we put in her she’s going to transmit psychosocially to her daughter without even being conscious of it so we’re not just dealing with the failure of black onblack love right now we’re dealing with the failure of black-on-black love for the rest of the century so you talked about earlier the rise of single motherhood in our community it if anything turned our community into a matriarch at that point in time true are we still there in 2024 the matriarchy isn’t in and of itself a problem because not all African societies are patriarchal you have matriarchal African societies the issue is when the woman feels that because she’s had to Bear the brunt of responsibility for raising the children and paying the bills that the man should have no voice so matriarchy by itself is not a problem patriarchy alone is not a problem it’s only when we take this matriarchy patriarchy and marry it to a European narrative that says because I’m the bread winner in this home I don’t have to listen to the other person we devalue the role of the man and we devalue the role of the Woman based on European values because guess what how much you earn has nothing to do with what you can contribute to the system and to these children so all of of us have been influenced negatively by The White Man’s power structure to the point where even in our house he’s still operating at a distance through the way that we think take economics money and sex those two variables play too big of a role in our relationships sex is important money is important but they should not be the be all and in all of whether or not the relationship is going to make sense and if money and sex are dominating the relationship the relationship is being ran on a superficial structure because money runs out how you perform in bed that will dim overtime too so we cannot be coming together for money and sex because if that’s the case this really isn’t a relationship it’s a pleasure contract and a lot of us in the community have pleasure contracts we call relationships and the difference between a pleasure contract and a relationship is a relationship requires obligation and accountability see when you have a pleasure contract I sex my queen when I sex her we go to the movies when we want to go to the movies we go to the Bahamas we want to go to the Bahamas we go to the Festival we want to go to it’s all pleasure based I see you when you want to see me you see me when you want to see me relationship I’m accountable to you whether we having fun or not relationship your longterm best interest as a human being is part of my responsibility a lot of people are calling pleasure contracts and situationships which is when neither one of you really know what the hell this is we’re calling them relationships and they’re not so number one we got to be honest about what the the the particular structure is is this situationship we just trying to figure it out is this a pleasure contract we just having fun in and out of the bed when we feel like it or is this a relationship where you’re going to be accountable to me even when you are angry and upset and don’t want to be bothered what a exactly is this because there’s a big difference and unfortunately because we don’t communicate with the women in our lives as men once they open their legs they tend to assume that there’s some sort of a relationship here no matter how minuscule we never clarify that and the reason we never clarify that is in our selfishness as men we like to have our cake and eat it too so we know she’s developing a bond you understand but we’re never going to clarify the bond because I want to be a able to dip out the back door the minute she puts too much responsibility on me where had if you told her up front this is just a pleasure contract and arrangement she could have probably done a better job of keeping her feelings to herself but because we don’t want to see her with nobody else we would rather run the risk of of of of hurting her spiritually and emotionally than Let Her Go free to find what she really needs selfishness plays a big role in this now let me ask you this uh because you mentioned about money and sex what should be at the root of a healthy relationship for me the the the the foundation of a healthy relationship first of all let’s deal with the four Essentials in order for the relationship to work at all you got to have humility a lot of times we don’t have humility if the relationship is based on ego it’s not a relationship you see that ego means you hear me but I don’t have to hear you that’s not a relationship that’s a Master Slave relationship when you have one person who has all the power and the other person who does not and to that point that is a very toxic situation we see in our community too where the woman is the slave master and the man is the slave or the man is the slave master and the woman is the slave and you’ve seen these relationships where one person makes all the decisions and have all the power and the other person needs to remain silent unless spoken to you see which goes down another road of where you should not be dating if you have low self-esteem because people with low self-esteem will always be taken advantage of in the Arena and too many men and women are out there looking for their ideal mate but you don’t have the ideal self-esteem in order to engage the type of mate that you want so if I speak to a young sister what type of man you want I speak to a young brother what type of Queen you want they describe them is your self-esteem at a level that this type of person will want you oh because you can’t hide how you feel about yourself once you’ve been around a queen for a couple weeks she know how you feel about yourself just like you know how she feel about herself self when you’ve been around her for a couple weeks so the role of self-esteem is critical because as you know a player a brother who knows how to game women he can read their level of self-esteem quickly he knows exactly what her thirsty meter is hitting at you see and a woman knows exactly what his thirsty meter is hitting at AB but getting back to those four Essentials you need humility I got to be humble enough to be quiet when she’s wrong to hear her out I got to be humble enough to remain quiet while she’s expressing her points about me everything she just said may be wrong she may have accused me of cheating she may have accused me of all kind of things but guess what this is her truth in this moment let me Shut the up let her say what she need to say when she’s done reflective listening baby you believe the reason I came home at 1:00 last night because I was over my baby mom’s is that how you feel do you believe that okay let me try to prove see let me try to prove to you that I was not there you see what I’m saying yeah the problem with us because most of us was raised by women we get a little you see that so when our Queen get we want to get right back that’s not the behavior of a man that’s not masculine masculinity says she’s in her pain and because she’s in her pain I’m G to validate her even if she’s incorrect because I don’t ever want her to feel that I don’t understand where she coming from we get right into defense mode raised by single black mothers we want to give her back the same energy she giv us that’s a gridlock we don’t move nowhere you got to have humility the next thing you got to have is you got to have communication one of the biggest mistakes we have in our relationships in the black community we want our partners to read our minds if you’re in a relationship with a woman who needs you to read her mind that is an emotionally immature woman and you need to end it a woman should should be able to tell a man what she wants and how she feels and a man should be able to tell a woman what he wants and how he feels cuz it goes both ways whenever you’re in a relationship and somebody expects you to read their mind as I’ve often said to Sisters I’m a psychologist not a psychic you understand I observe and evaluate I can’t read you see so tell me how you feel the reason why a lot of sisters would rather us feel them out then communicate to us how they feel is they afraid of rejection they don’t want to verbalize it because they’re afraid it may get rejected so they would rather you read the mind so they don’t have to uh uh Garner uhhhh the audacity to tell you exactly how they feeling in other words you need to make a decision whether or not you’re gonna marry me we’ve been in this relationship for three years you see that yeah she wants to say it she ain’t got the courage because she’s afraid of what your response is so she’s been pouting around the house acting up like what’s wrong with her she want to know where this Rel relationship is going but she’s not going to say it because you ain’t giving her the confidence to say that you see so we have to make sure that when we are dating people we’re dating people who mirror our psychological age because all of us have a biological age we also have a psychological age so let’s say you 45 years old biologically your queen is 45 years old biologically but she been traumatized raped abused abandoned by her father emotionally scarred by her mother although she’s 45 biologically psychologically she could be 12 psychologically you could be six and a big reason why a lot of our relationships don’t work out is you got two people who are around the same biological age but psychologically they at two different levels you see this like damn why she acting like a child why he acting like a child because guess what they are not psychologically where you are and here’s a big problem we have we think we’ve met our match when we get into a relationship where we never argue and there’s no type of conflict or disagreement that’s a trap you know why that’s a trap everybody has a pain body you got one you got one I got one they got one what is a pain body that is an energy that you carry within your soul it’s a deep part of your unconscious that contains the memory of every negative experience you ever had in your life from the time you got bullied you know from uh uh your father spanking you in front of your friends your girlfriend cheating on you everything you went through negative is in this pain body right you have one everybody got one if you’ve never seen it activated in your queen to be it ain’t time to get married yet because you have to determine whether or not you can live with her pain body when it gets activated see this is where we date for five years and everything been great we moved in for one month now we getting a divorce you know why because it’s easy to date when y’all don’t have to share the same space it’s easy to date when y’all don’t have to share the same space now y’all sharing the same space in all that that she kept hidden in her or all that you kept hidden in you now it’s going to come out and do you want to know why the ego doesn’t like to lie your ego never want when she says are you cheating on me you say no if you are your ego want to say yeah I’m cheating I’m you see you see the ego doesn’t like the lie you see so once you’re forced three things normally Force the ego to tear the mask off because when we dating each other we’re basically dating the ideal self we’re projecting before the other person we’re not dating who we really are when you meet somebody you never tell them I’m an alcoholic I have trouble showing up for work at time I had 10 jobs in the past year my father left me I grew up in a brothel with my mother who was a prostitute you’re not telling her none of that she has to figure out all your flaws on her own just like you have to figure out all her flaws on your own you see that and so that’s why we don’t trust each other when we begin dating because we both know we got a pain body we both know we got baggage and neither person wants to be transparent about what their issues are from the beginning damn see we force the other person to learn them on their own so nobody trusts nobody cuz I know you got in your closet and you ain’t giving me none of it and because I got to study you and I don’t know how long I’m going have to study you I’m going to try to hold my feelings back as much as I can and for that very same reason we like to keep something on the side too because if this don’t work out I need something else to fall out on well guess what if you got something on the side there’s no way you can be fully committed to this now let me tie trauma back into this how can you fully love if you’re too afraid to get hurt right and if you can’t fully love because you’re too afraid to get hurt you have have no business dating in the first place because what you might mistake for love is nothing more than a psychologically unhealthy attachment or addiction for someone else’s presence in your life to validate you right now we got an epidemic of black men killing their women that wasn’t love you couldn’t kill somebody you loved you know what was going on he was addicted to her presence in his life his illness cannot exist without her presence in his life and because he can no longer have her presence in his life he’s going to take her life that’s not love that’s Psychopathology and addiction and you have a lot of traumatized black people running around thinking they in love with people you’re not in love you are simply addicted to their presence in your life they serve a purpose for you that’s it it’s not love and if you don’t really understand what love is often times clinginess attachment thirstiness and addiction is called love and it’s not love don’t hurt if it hurts it has to be trauma take us into love though because because I I do agree with you a lot of people are confused about what love is right so how would you define love when you truly love somebody truly here’s the thing about love love is unconditional that’s the first thing I want to say is it really love is unconditional if it’s conditions on it it ain’t love it’s a contract and that’s okay if both of you agree on the terms she may agree we have a pleasure contract we got an economic contract where you going to take care of me and as long as you take care of me I’m going be your woman the Puff Daddy Arrangement you feel me that works for some people no you have women like that you have men like that I’m gonna floss you up and as long as I floss you up you gonna be loyal to me but that’s a contract that’s not love contracts are different from love why contracts are conditional love is unconditional if I love my queen what if she comes home one day and say hey baby uh I don’t want to work this I don’t want to be a lawyer no more but if I only married her because I like the way her law degree looks on Dr Umar in public you see how this goes she’s changing but if I love her okay baby that’s what you don’t want to do you want to go into something else let’s do it love is UN when you love somebody you are 100% unapologetically And unconditionally committed to that person’s best interest even if it is to your loss what if your fiance come home and say listen babe I had a long conversation with my ex-husband I never thought I would look at this again but we left a lot on the table together I enjoyed the time we had I think that man might still be my soulmate I got to move on I might still hurt because I loved her right but if that love is true if you feel that’s who you meant to spend the rest of your life with I gotta love you and want the best for you most of us cannot do that what we call love is limited to your investment in me you see that yeah anytime they step outside of the box we created for them we get angry because that was not love you had conditions on it your woman gained 20 pounds now you’re going to divorce or you say if you gain another 20 pounds this marriage is over that was not love that was a contract because it had conditions if I love that woman unconditionally whether she gained 20 30 40 50 pounds I’m not going nowhere that we might need to have a conversation about her health because I want you around for our children to get married you understand but there’s no such thing as ending a relationship because you stepped outside of my perfect box if you loved her love is unconditional and most of what we got in the black community or contracts disguised as loving relationships because you know that I mean that’s what I think of when I when I think of even the role of a man being to provide to protect I’m thinking those are conditions like this relationship will exist between us as long as you provide and you protect are those not conditions on the contract of Love or you are correct those are a little different though because those are expected gender roles that go back to the beginning of time in other words I know she’s going to be birthing the babies I know I’m expected to be the provider even if she makes more than me so gender RS are conditions but because those are culturally determined I would put them in a separate box because we come in understanding that this is part of what you’re supposed to do as a man or as a woman versus don’t gain no weight don’t lose that job don’t your income better not drop don’t have more than one child you see what I’m saying yeah I’m dealing with those personal conditions that you want to impose on the other person versus the conditions that the culture imp imposes on us as men and women understood understood now going back to because you were saying you we were y still good on the sound we good down a little bit there we go there we go we straight we straight okay excellent so let me give them two other ones I’m sorry hold on wait wait because you gotta I want you to hold it because there’s so much to unpack hold on to those two other ones but I really want to touch on this because you talked about being able to us dealing with our pain bodies yes and us not knowing exactly how to connect with one another because we really don’t know who we are in that pain body how can one and this for me cuz I’m out here I’m a brother who’s seriously dating I really want to look I’m trying to get out these damn streets yes sir yes sir so the reality of it is how is a man looking to authentically know a woman her pain body what she really comes with to unlock that version of her and her to unlock that in me as well how does that happen the own first of all it cannot happen until both of you feel the other person is a safe space for you so it doesn’t happen early on in a relationship it happens at a point normally after you guys have been intimate although I don’t think that’s a good idea I think it needs to come before the intimacy because intimacy tends to unlock a lot of that pain see so when you guys get to a point where you’re pretty sure that you’re interested in taking this a little further let’s start talking about some of the things we’ve been through so we can understand each other a little more okay you see that the problem is people are very slow to disclose past traumas because number one they buried them somewhere deep within themselves and don’t want to touch them again and they fail to realize that they still exude energy and influence all throughout your life so that’s number one she don’t want to revisit the rape so I’m not even going to bring it up to him you see that yeah that’s how trauma operates we think we can bury it you can’t so so that’s that’s one issue number two if I tell him this how do I know he ain’t going to share it with his mother his best friend his brother we as black people have a very poor culture of confidentiality we don’t keep things confidential you know I look at my life right I’ve never discussed my personal intimate moments with women with nobody if anybody ever found out about me and a woman I don’t care if it was high school she had to tell it because I consider the woman so sacred and her giving me that part of her so sacred no body will know that this ever happened but I knew I know few men who are like that a lot of men are like women they want to run and tell everything that goes on in the relationship if there’s no confidentiality in the relationship nobody’s ever going to disclose anything a woman has to know that if I tell him this even if we don’t work out this never goes into another person’s ears you would the same way if you got a man who’ been sexually abused or grew up in a foster home but nobody knew it or my mom is really my aunt cuz my mom left me on a step I if I tell her this and we end up not working out is this table talk at girls night you see so people got to really feel you’re a safe space before they start to divulge that part of themselves it’s expose culture right now the every everything everybody is being put on blast right now and that’s exactly why a lot of us are not willing to tell our significant others the type of pain that we carry around with us every day because if this gets out it’ll be used against Me by people who are not for me and so in my effort to bring some healthiness into our relationship you just unearth my trauma for the world to use against me trauma is a hell of a thing gentlemen it’s a hell of a thing people bury it and they don’t like to bring it back up and see here’s the thing to your point there were four things we needed as children if you got these four things from both parents you needed it from Mom and you needed it from Dad the opposite sex parent is more relevant though although both are important you needed intimacy you needed your mother to love you and you had to F the love you need your father to love you and you had to feel the love remember a woman’s first love affair is with her father it’s not sex it’s psychological a man’s first love affair is with his woman with his mother it’s not sex it’s psychological if my mother loved me right I’m not afraid to love a woman when I grow up you see that and I have confidence that if this relationship doesn’t work out I can leave it and find another one you see that yeah if that woman’s father loved her she won’t have trouble loving a man and she’s not going to walk around scared is he cheating is he gonna hurt me because her father validated her Womanhood so much that she knows if it doesn’t work out I can leave and find another one women who had their fathers in their lives in an intimate healthy way men who had their mothers in their lives in an intimate healthy way they operate in The Dating game completely different if y’all think about the women you dated who had a loving relationship with a biological father and the women you dated who did not know their father I’m quite certain you can tell some differences between them trust anger uh uh uh uh vulnerability confidence completely different man and woman so you need intimacy that love second thing you need and these are in no order availability was Mom present in your life was Dad present in your life was they at the football game was they at the basketball dance did they come to the birthday parties or were they absent did you have parents who abandoned you so you got intimacy you got availability then you also have reciprocity did Mom and that do for you or did you have nothing at all when your shoes got holes on them did they get you another pair you understand that when you were still hungry at dinner could you get another plate or did you live in an environment of scarcity so you got intimacy you have reciprocity you have availability and the fourth one was trust could you trust your father when he gave you his word could you trust your mother when she gave you if your mother dropped you off at Grandma’s and said baby I’m going to the mall it’s 12: noon I’mma be back at 8 but you didn’t see her for eight days later see that yeah any trauma we got from our parents especially the opposite sex parent we carry over into our dating relationships this is why nobody should be marrying anyone if you didn’t meet their parents because you got to know who made them because you’re going to begin to see into their trauma just by being around mom and dad for a couple hours which is another reason why I don’t think people should get married before they live together now I know the church and the M yes okay they gonna be pissed off at you for that one yeah but I have limits go back to what I said earlier the reason why you got to live with someone my maximum and I tell women this I’ll say it here now two years if a woman been living under the same roof with a man consecutively for two years he knows if he GNA wife her first of all we men after about six months you got a pretty good idea whether this is you understand after you pretty certain but you might drag it out just in case she got some skeletons that need to pop out in you see right right right but after two years a man knows so when I talk to women who say yeah I’ve been living with my baby daddy for five years he said he’s still not sure he’s sure he just don’t want to tell you because he don’t want to let you go free because he know how good of a woman you are and he don’t want nobody else to experience that a man knows two years is my limit but the reason you got to live together is what I said earlier we know how to be the best actor Hollywood ever created when we don’t have to share space if all I’m doing is picking you up going to dinner going to the movies going to the Hawks game going to the Falcons game going to vacation to Bermuda we have a pleasure contract we about to turn this into an official relationship well guess what I got things about me I don’t really want you to know but guess what now you live with her you under the same roof now mind you y’all been dating for five years it’s been great you live with her for one week guess what you found out in one week you found out she don’t like to wash her ass this is real right this is real she finds out you don’t like to put the toilet seat down you find out she can’t cook she find out you got two other cell phones and both of your baby mamas call you all through the night and talk about they personal problems with their new boyfriends she would have never knew that if y’all never cohabitated she not paying bills on time you not taking out the trash you not spending no time with her kids now when you was just picking them up for dinner you was okay with little rayquan right now rayquan in your house you don’t want to do with him now you see this yeah you got to live with people you got to live with people because you never fully know someone until they drop their guard in the in the three conditions that normally Force the ego to stop lying and tuck away the actor we like to project pregnancy marriage cohabitation yeah I recommend you cohabitate first before the pregnancy and the marriage so you can really know who this person is you don’t know him if you ain’t live with him but ladies it should be a two-year limit I will say this man ladies I used to always say is I say the people that work with you I actually say the people that live with you and the people that work with you know you know you very well and I say work because you get to see a different side of them they work a they work ethics you know their habits their patterns in a different way as far as they grind especially a man but in general man I must say man I don’t and I failed at it I failed at living with a woman and it could be mainly because I did find these things out but the reality of it is too I it could be very confusing when you start shacking up with somebody it’s a lot of confusion involved with that it is but here’s my question for you though were you ready to compromise your personal lifestyle in the agenda you had for yourself because remember relationship means compromise if you’re not ready to give up or give in on anything that’s important in your life you ain’t ready for a relationship you still need a pleasure contract because you’re not ready to be accountable and you’re not ready to take on responsibility for that other person you see that yeah so a lot of the confusion stems around the fact that you like her but you’re not ready to compromise the life I live I’m not ready to only watch one game on Sunday with the homies when I’m normally there from 12 to 12 you see that I’m not ready to put in the type of time with her children that are not mine that I spend with my own you see that yes I’m not ready to start being responsible for how I spend my money I normally do it how I want and she wants us to have a budget I ain’t never done no damn budget you see are you ready to compromise because two egos that are not ready to compromise can’t have a relationship that’s a situationship or a pleasure contract and again that’s all right if that’s where you are but the minute you say relationship that means you got to give up in order to get in let me ask you this I want to take the conversation in a bit of a different direction we we got we got all five of them joint we got them all in y’all better be taking some damn notes because Dr Umar is in the building I need that trans yeah we got to no doubt you really dropped about two books about two books let me give you one point before you turn it there yeah we needed that intimacy that trust that availability that reciprocity right right if you didn’t get him you will spend the rest of your romantic life trying to get it fulfilled through people who are not your parents this is where you’re in a relationship with a woman and you said I feel like her damn Daddy I don’t feel like her man she needs me to raise her the woman says he’s a little boy I feel like more of his mother than his wife you know why they have unmet needs and they’re trying to get them fulfilled through you and you need to let him know that you’re not his mom and he needs to go back to his mom and work on them issues or find a mother figure to work on them through because you’re draining me you’re draining me the relationship is Weighing on me because I’m not just wife I’m wife and I’m Mom I’m not just husband I’m husband and I am dad and this is why you got to meet them parents if they’re there and if they’re not there you better do a thorough psycho history interview with your mate to be to find out what they went through in their life because if you find out there was an abandonment issue there was an intimacy issue never felt love giving up for adoption foster care whatever the case may be there was a trust issue then you know there’s a vulnerability there and that woman or that man is going to spend the rest of their life trying to get the childhood unmet needs met the Bible I’m not Christian but one thing in the Bible it talks about how the sins of the father will visit the children until theth generation nothing is more true about that statement than in the world of mental health if I I if grandfather was an alcoholic grandson is likely to be great grandson is likely to be if great grandma was promiscuous granddaughter is likely to be great granddaughter is likely to be it is very hard to break dysfunctional family cycles and patterns very hard that’s why when you meet the mom you say I know the mom’s kind of loose you feel me like I know exactly right right right are you sure that didn’t get passed down it doesn’t mean it had to but there’s a strong likelihood that it did you got to check your partner’s unmet needs because if they were not met they’re going to be looking for them to get met through you and that’s not your job nor can you meet them because unfulfilled issues from childhood can only be fulfilled through those parents so what I want to what I want to actually get into here in good game way to close good closure on that conversation I want to talk about the leadership aspect because a lot of the ladies we got a lot of ladies always talking about you know they’re having troubles finding a man that’s qualified to lead a family and when you when we talk about a man who’s qualified to lead I want you to define the best way you can what you feel a man needs to actually be able to head and lead a household that’s going to vary woman tooman some women want an aggressive Di dictator some women want a they’ll never say that they they won’t but they do some women do other women want a man who’s more of a facilitator who takes the lead when necessary but would much rather collaborate with his Queen you follow so we have to look at the style of husband a woman is looking for and to my sisters I would challenge them respectfully if the man you want show up with the ability to lead do you have enough trust in yourself in respect for black manhood to allow him the opportunity to lead you because let me tell you what I’ve had women tell me in therapy Dr Umar I found a man of my dreams takes care of me takes care of my kids I don’t have to work I trust him he don’t cheat no issues but guess what I was conditioned by my mother and my grandmother to never depend on a man and never let a man make decisions for you I know he’s what I need I know I can trust him but the conditioning in my family the intergenerational we don’t trust or respect black men has gotten so deep into my mind that the very man I waited my whole life for I might lose because I can’t get control of my issues so when a sister say you looking for a leader are you ready to receive him when he shows up you see that yeah because a lot of women can’t relinquish that even though our sisters have been punished far too long because of the white man’s war against the black man that sends us to the penitentiary and the graveyard black women have had to lead on their own for 50 60 years so they’ve gotten so comfortable not having to answer to a man look at this now you’re talking about three generations no no man now one comes up traditional Family Values churchgoing man spiritual man and she can’t let them lead because even though she’s tired of being in charge there’s something about the power she don’t want to relinquish and that’s a big reason why a lot of women don’t have husbands is not because they can’t find them it’s because they cannot respect a man who shows up with tradition black masculine traits so is that a bigger so wow is that a bigger issue than the fact that it’s not enough of these brothers out here is it really it’s both it’s both now it’s not enough of us to go around that’s true but I would tell sisters the same thing I would tell a brother who says he can’t find a good africanamerican woman American African woman go to Brazil I just came from Central America a couple days ago those afro Latino sisters is fine I was in Jamaica go to the Caribbean go to London there’s more black women in the world than any other female so if you looking for a black woman you can find one well guess what sisters Africa has no shortage of black men Caribbean has no shortage of black men they scared of them African Brothers I was going to say you know what the difference is you know what the difference is Right In traditional African culture the man is the man and the woman is the woman so the whole snapping your neck cursing me out in public it ain’t gonna work it’s not happening in Nigeria I’mma tell you right now it’s not happening in the Congo it’s not happening you understand it’s not happening swana you see so if the sister wants and don’t get me wrong they won’t have to work those Brothers on the continent and many of the brothers in the Caribbean they are that traditional black masculinity that our sisters crave but are you humble enough to receive that you’ll get what you want but can you let him lead because that goes against the dominant uh trend of thought coming out of the radical black feminist camp where you don’t answer to no man you don’t take orders from no man you don’t even make a decision with a man you are in charge he is the enemy so if you’re a black woman coming from a a radical black feminist tradition the last thing you want is a African or Caribbean brother because they not having that you’re going to respect them and they’re going to respect you you see in America cooking may be something that women consider to be beneath them in Africa our sisters guard the kitchen they don’t even want you in it they proud because what you consume keeps your spirit alive so they are very protected the kitchen is almost a sanctuary in America oh I don’t feel like cooking and you see so it’s a whole different orientation so the same thing for brothers if you want a sister with oldfashioned female traits go to Africa go to the Caribbean but sticking here in the American Theater here’s a big issue that black women have to deal with we got to deal with it too this whole thing of Serial monogamy versus the taboo of polygyny many black men because we get our cake and get to eat it too we are outnumbered you guys are in Atlanta one of the most outnumbered States right black men black women outnumbered cities we get to have our cake and eat it too because of that we tend not to tell women the truth that very few men especially Alpha brothers are monogamous most Alpha men most men period are polygamous that doesn’t mean they going to have two women at the same time all the time it means that during the course of the relationship with the primary Queen you will entertain other feminine energy along the way we we’re not honest with the women we don’t tell them that we’ll tell them it’s only you baby and I love only you baby so every woman thinks if I find the right one I never have to worry about having to share him when that’s really not the truth for the a lot of the men now that might be an issue of preference but then we got to look at an issue of predicament it’s not enough black men to go around so if a sister wants an American African brother she don’t want my African brother my Caribbean brother my South Central American brother she’s going to have to consider a poist Arrangement now when I say that the feminists go off crazy Absol I want to challenge the feminist I gotta push back on my radical black feminists because the same sister who says she will not partake in polygyny will willingly date a married man I’ve seen so help me understand where you are against plural marriage but you have no problem being the undercover mistress for a man who you know is married you see that wow so do you know what that tells us what you’re not against polygamy you’re for polygamy as long as nobody know you’re practicing it so that’s called hypocrisy wow damn a lot of our sisters are polygynous hypocrites I will do it if nobody knows but if you ask me to stand up and be accountable to the community I much rather not so it’s it’s pretty more pretty much you saying they people be more concerned with protecting our reputation absolutely than absolutely and and and what do sisters fear the most about being in a plural marriage the kickback she G to get from other sisters yeah it’s the queendom that they fear you dummy what you in there for letting him sleep with now mind you the same person calling her dummy her man got another woman too for difference is this sister is with is with a man who was honest enough to tell her this is what I’m going to be about so with me I’mma have two queens only two I don’t want more than that right because the older you get the less of your life force you need to be shooting out anyway because you’re gonna die young you understand and that’s another thing as brothers need to understand you got to get that penal syndrome that lower chakra under control because it’ll take you out of here early W you know remember women are designed spiritually they they they they devour our essence you understand they’re man ERS in a good way you see so as you get older you got to slow down like the Chinese they have a philosophy of the chi which they got from us but they say you only get a certain amount of chi and the biggest way you lose your Chi is through releasing your energy into a woman once your Chi is dried up the ancestors take you that’s Chinese medicine yes they say it comes in limited amount once it’s used up you’re out of here so you we have to start pulling back but again we are too oriented in our dating culture towards sex and we’re losing because of it even the women why you think they getting bbls breast surgery all of this why because we have stripped our black women of the sacredness of their vagina the black man has stripped the black woman of the sacredness of her vagina the vagina is a Sacred Space you’re not even supposed to go in it unless you’re willing to assume responsibility for that woman in everything that proceeds from that vagina IE children a lot of us only see the vagina as a pleasure object you see that and because we have reduced the woman to an object she’s now reducing herself to an object to do the best she can to attract a man if we told all black women we are not going to be bothered with you unless you start wearing skirts again or we’re not going to be bothered with you unless you stop dressing sexually provocative they would do it because guess what they love more than the BBL guess what they love more than the weaves and the wigs and the tight jeans they love having a man to come home to we control the sexual explicity of our women but because we’re so thirsty for how they look it’s hard for us to bring them back to a platform where they could once again be regarded as the Queens we need them to be before most women that I know before they truly consider going to another country to get a black man the first thing they do is locally just dating outside their race locally that’s what they consider and I just seen your whole facial expression a lot of coaches advise that too they can’t find connection with black men then you should go out and and try something a little different I want my sisters to be careful and the reason I want my sisters to be careful being who I am I get a lot of stories from a lot of black women I’ve had black women tell me they were engag AED or married to white men for years even with children only for him to turn around and call her the nword call her a black tell her she’ll never be as good as a white woman you understand because remember all white people have that in them just because they haven’t sex with you I don’t know where we get this idea that if a white person beds you that means they’re somehow different from any other white person didn’t Thomas Jefferson bed half the plantation didn’t George Washington bed half the pl ation so where do we get this idea that if a white person is sexing you they’re somehow not racist they just as racist I had one sister sent me an email she said Dr Umar my white boyfriend calls me the n-word when we’re having sex what yes wow in fact she called in on one of my lives and discussed it yeah he calls her the nword when they’re having sex and she wanted me to know if I felt that was acceptable I can’t even believe she could yes yes because you got to remember in white culture the men believe you never really had sex unless you been with a jungle woman I our sisters so all white men want to access the black vagina because it’s the best vagina in existence but they only accessing it you know as as as a fetish see white people fetishize us and we so in love with whiteness and we’re so in love with accessing whiteness and proximity to whiteness we don’t even realize when we’re being paraded around like Zoo monkeys white women fetishize black men and the reason why they love having a black man is in a relationship with a white man she know who’s boss when a white woman is with a white man she know who’s boss so if she wants to be a boss she got to get the black man he’s the only man she can have where she know she can have her way with him and if she don’t get it with his consent she’ll get it through the legal system ie Jonathan Majors I can destroy your black ass whenever I feel like it yeah you could be worth a billion dollars Bill Cosby but what’s gonna happen when I tell the courts you sexually harassed me 40 years ago see the white woman loves the black man because she’s always in the dver seat of the relationship she got the whole force of the white power structure behind her if he gets out of line never consider that that is wow and honestly I think that’s why internally I’ve always been shook like I’ve I haven’t been able to truly date a white woman at all like I it’s it’s fear built into me I mean all through my childhood you know I grew up learning cases on emit you know growing up that was put into me early so I already knew what the situation was you do think about I mean you think about you know when you see the police think about when you see group of white men or I even think about with the black woman oh yeah it’s gonna be thinking about me while I’m went there you just you just out there un protect absolutely I don’t date women who have had sex with non-african men even if it was just an experience yes wow wow if they sex them a date I can live with that a kiss disgusting but I might SW my God but if she gave if she gave that honeycomb hideout to a devil if she gave her cookies to that Caucasian Slayer I cannot go back into that cave after she let a neander fall enter it I cannot do it she has disrespected her vagina in every female ancestor we’ve ever had I cannot do it wow strong words from Dr Johnson so listen what we gonna do y’all know family for the people that’s already here you already know when we get to the initiation hotline what we gonna do is we gonna bring the people up we’re gonna bring the family up and I want to get y’all take on this when this is listen this is the first live he has ever been featured on so this is huge y’all better send him super chats over no non sense when you calling in y’all make sure y’all looking good make sure y’all prepared we gonna take care of the doctor and listen and listen we gonna put the link in here so Ryan could you prep the link up for the family I got you I got because what we gonna do here I’m GNA put the link inside the chat you guys are going to be able to enter you go backstage I’mma let you guys up and what I want to what I want your take on is whether or not you are full for or against dating outside your race I want y’all to come up here and why I want y’all to be brief and I want y’ to be brilliant but I do want to hear your voice on this one and I want the fellas too because as we mentioned we seen the the Jonathan major situation pop off and we seen what happened and I think it’s you know question on both sides of the coin so my brothers can come up here as well so Ryan let me know when you went ahead and dropped that joint in there yeah I went I went ahead and dropped that I uh I got the pin it should be pin and just a second I want to I want to ask you this too while people are coming in here I I really want to know this because if I had to make it very plain and say is it better for a black woman in particular because that’s what we speaking about to be alone or to marry outside her race what should she decide to do why are those the only two options why could she not find a brother on another continent or consider plural marriage and going back to the hypocrisy of the radical black feminists who say they cannot be part of a plural marriage but who will date a married man there’s another phenomenon in the community and y’all see this you saw it in high school you saw it in college you see it today the alpha males always have a flock of women around them and interested in them and guess what a lot of these sisters who say they don’t want to be part of a plural relationship are always part of that queendom around that alpha male because at the end of the day if he got swag and she’s attracted she’s not letting another woman keep her from entertaining him you’ve seen this you know this this is the reality it’s the reality in the animal kingdom it’s the reality in the man Kingdom the alpha males always attract the women and those women never stop their Pursuit because he’s in a relationship they just will never publicly admit it so listen I want y’all to come back here Ron did we go ahead and drop that joint oh yeah yeah we got some people in in in there now so let’s go ahead we got some people that’s coming backstage I want y’all to come uh come on back here almost 2500 people in the chat live right now so it’s going crazy this is a class instant classic episode with Dr Omar Johnson right now this an instant classic episode you got sisters in the chat right one beautiful sister says I’d rather be single she’s being dishonest if you are not yet at retirement age you’re not thinking about being single that’s a lie and so when we talk about transparency because that’s another thing in a relationship you got to be transparent and another reason our relationships fail we’re not transparent we are hiding sneaking doing all kind of stuff why don’t your wife know about this why don’t your husband know about this you got a a whole another bank account he don’t know you have lunch with your baby mom every Friday she don’t know if the relationship doesn’t have transparency is based on lies and I would I would dare say at least 50% of the relationships in our community are not transparent they’re based on lies everybody’s holding out on something so much so that if you really saw everything they got going on in their life that you didn’t know about you might leave them we do not respect the sanctity of black-on-black love anymore we treat it like any other game any other scheme or any other business racket we trying to run and we got to put back the spirituality in black- onblack love for me I don’t believe we need to be coming together having babies or getting married unless we’re creating a family that’s going to contribute in some significant way to the liberation of African people we not birthing no babies unless we birthing kings and queens who want to play a role in The Liberation struggle for African people for me that’s the purpose of family you understand we we doing this for the people everything we do we doing it so we can leave a legacy for our children and for our people getting married just because you think it’s the end thing to do getting married just because you want somebody to uh furnish you with all kinds of expensive gifts I don’t think that’s a good reason for people to be coming together I love that we got MJ backstage we bringing to the stage right now MJ unmute your Mike you are on the stage wait hold on MJ oh move too late MJ too late lost it you gotta be ready MJ oh we got my man hold wait we got what’s it here we got fizzy fley fley from black Renaissance podcast what’s up my brother fley from black Renaissance podcast man man got the mic got you ready man look let me tell you tell us brother what’s your take on this man you dating outside your race or what brother never dated outside my race never dated a white woman never had sex with a white woman and I 100% agree with brother Umar Johnson who states the fact that once a black woman actually lets a white man enter her K she is like basically no good to like black R unfortunately I I definitely that I’m not gonna lie I am totally for my brother and keep preaching that good word so yeah I’m all for stay like staying with black women black on black relationships you know fley well look I appreciate you coming up here and giving us your take brother shout out to fley and I would say this if the sister did allow the ican to shoot his ancestors into her vagina I believe we can get with our Queen mothers of traditional African spiritual culture and maybe we could perform a vaginal exorcism to get that white man’s a out of her got they got they got the they got the detox team and they put some they got to put some some Sage some herbs do some prayers and get his a because let’s be honest and I want sisters to hear me on this women are not men and are not supposed to be nor should they try to behave like us and I see a lot of sisters trying to be serial monogamous like a lot of men are and it’s dangerous to their spiritual and psychological health because whoever a woman lays with he will leave fingerprints in her vagina not physical spiritual yeah and a reason a big reason why a lot of our black women are so unhealthy psychologically and so unhappy spiritually is because they have the energy of multiple men swimming in their uterus what they could have all used condoms I’m not talking about his physical AE I’m talking about his spiritual AE women keep us in them every man She lays with is in her until she conducts a spiritual detox so sisters please don’t turn into a Serial monogamous and of course if you’re out there sexing too much ladies you’re going to end up with a Loosey Goosey and the older you get the harder it is for that Loosey Goosey to rebound back to its normal shape and size and tightness so ladies need to practice a lot more discretion as they age so now we got Kela coming up to the stage right here I want to go ahead and get our take from a lady Kela what’s up with you sister hey y’all um I’m Kela 26 out of Atlanta and I just have a question about hold on wait wait Kea listen 26 out Atlanta you’re 26 out Atlanta but I still want to know I know you got your question I’m gonna let you get to your question but I want to know your take first you’re dating outside your race or not no okay okay thank you sister and go ahead let’s let’s get to your question all right so you talked about you know finding out those unmet needs of your partner how do you find or inquire about those unmet needs um you know just like talking to men they get offended or they feel like attack mode um how do you find that out direct conversation the problem with us Queen is when we start dating one another we’re asking The Superficial questions how much money do you make what kind of car you drive how many children do you have how many degrees did you earn that stuff has very little to do with whether this relationship is going to survive or not did you grow up with your mother and your father if not why not how close are you with your father now are your parents still married how many siblings did you have how did y’all get along have you ever lived with a man how long did that relationship last have you ever been married those are the questions you need to ask indirect questions that help you see into that person’s childhood because guess what queen we always carry our childhood with us psychologically we call it the inner child who you were from birth to age 12 continues to exist that little you is in you right now and anything that little you didn’t get from mom or dad is is going to try to get from the men that you date and the only way you can get control over that little you is to become conscious of how it operates in your life it’s like an alcoholic an alcoholic may always be an alcoholic but if they can become conscious of their drinking Behavior they can control it we have to get in touch with the little us the inner child so we can limit the influence it has in our life let me give you a quick example you meet a young man in Atlanta he’s handsome he’s everything you want in a man he got the body he got the he got the job he got the car but guess what psychologically your intelligence as a black woman tells you he’s not what you need he is trouble you know it but guess what that little girl in you who never got no attention in elementary school or the one who was abandoned by her daddy or the one who never dated a man this handsome is Whispering into your subconscious you better get him don’t you let him go and the next thing you know you spending five years with a man who you know you never should have been with why were you with him because your inner child had an unmet need and you didn’t have enough discipline to overpower her desires control your inner child wow Kea shout out to you here in the city of Atlanta she listen she on the stage with Dr Umar Johnson right now this is epic but initi this is once in a lifetime for many people let me tell you what Kea need though Kela what you really need is these Harley and love sh all right you need to whip this out whip this out on this brother and say all right look these these superficial questions ain’t working and I’mma go ahead and ask some real questions here we might have to do a little collab we might have to get some Dr Omar Johnson questions in there oh Lord yes inde as a matter of fact ke let me tell you what we gonna do we gonna go ahead and give you a free deck because I want you to be successful matter of fact go ahead send me send us over send us over email us at info hardle initiated. info hardle initiated. and go go send me your first and last name make sure you put Keila let us know we talk to you today none of you phonies out here this only for Keela y’all no more emails but not of me absolutely we gonna get this over to you but thank you so much Kea okay and Kea let me give her three quick points and I know we got the Run Kila number one understand this about men I don’t care what any man ever tells you the longer you make us wait for the cookie the more we will value you after we get it do you understand me time does matter with that being said I want you to understand this with that being said if a man respects women it doesn’t matter how soon y’all did it and if a man does not respect women it don’t matter how long you made him wait make sure you know how he feels about women and there’s no better way to find that out than to ask him how he feels about his mother and the last point Queen don’t make the mistake of so many sisters who look for men who they have something in common with right we both psychologist we both watch the reality show we both like the read we both like the beach uh uh that’s superficial you should be looking for whether or not y’all share the same values he like to spend money you like to save money you want to have a lot of children he don’t want none you believe in a relationship with God he don’t believe in God you believe in saving for retirement he wants to live for today study a man’s values and make sure you can live with what he believes in and the last thing I know I said three but I’m G give you this you can never change a person when you meet that man Queen ask yourself this and be honest with yourself can I live with him as he is if he never changed for the rest of my life never get married because you think it’s going to make the problems go away marriage will only highlight and intensify the problems that are already there that’s a bar that’s a bar look Kela thank you so much for coming up onhe shareing with us stie okay thank you I just love seeing like young ladies really trying to get it together too so that was and and and as we get older gentlemen we have to evolve to be the elders even if we’re not yet an elder age for our younger sisters because one thing that every black woman needs and a lot of them don’t have every black woman needs a man who loves her unconditionally without warning what’s between her legs and one of the biggest problems in the black community is we have a lot of black women who don’t have a single man not a grandfather not a father not an uncle not a cousin not a pastor who loves them unconditionally intimately without want between her legs and the older we get we have to start building those relationships with them young sisters because without that they’re going to be at a disadvantage when it’s time to start dating they won’t have nobody to ask those questions to now listen and you actually talked about this prior aside from our biological age psychological age psychological age are they mature enough to be with you let me give you an example I travel right I’m always traveling so when I meet sisters they got to know up front well number one I’mma have two Queens that’s number one number two you won’t see me for weeks on in when I go to Africa I’m there 30 days straight yeah are you sure you can adjust to that lifestyle because the Revolutionary lifestyle doesn’t lend itself easily to marriage Dr King said it Malcolm said it gy said it it’s not an easy life to marry to be married to a man who could lose his life any moment for what he stands for but sisters are so attracted to the celebrity of Dr Umar they not looking at the activists they they not even seeing all they see is the YouTube and the breakfast no I could lose all this so if you come to me for that then this relationship is being built on quicksand can you go them days without me and can I trust that when I’m not in America somebody else ain’t eating cookies out of my cookie bag you see how that works yeah which takes me to another Point emotionally damaged people are always sexually promiscuous let me say this again if you are traumatized if you are emotionally damaged you are promiscuous and do you want to know why why is that emotionally traumatized people require constant validation from others you married to a woman who’ve been traumatized abuse abandonment whatever when you’re not around her for too many days she has to entertain another man because her trauma dictates constant validation and constant validation means I must have a man in my person space this you ever date a woman who was crazy about you she absolutely loved you so you thought it was really addiction yeah when the when you finally let her go when you finally got her to stop stalking you she ended up with another man like that and your ego took a hit you said wait a minute I know that woman was crazy about me climbed in my window came to my you understand she was uhuh she was crazy about your presence in her life and the minute you distance yourself from her life she found a replacement without a problem emotionally damaged people are promiscuous because they cannot go without constant validation they need that validation they need it most of our promiscuous women are damaged women they’re not having sex because they love having sex they’re having sex because they have learned this is the only way I can get a man’s attention first of all we got so listen big shout

if you don’t mind Ty I actually got a couple super chats that came in please so because people want to dig in so shout out to one of my favorit shout out to Yi she says how does Dr Umar feel about light skinn Caribbean Latinos he only mentioned accepting afro Latinos okay first of all complexion does not disqualify you from being African so when I say afro Latino that’s whether you’re light skin brown skin tan skin or chocolate the first color on The Honorable Marcus garvey’s red black and green flag is red because it’s the blood that makes you an African the blood so if a light skin fair skin Spanish speaking AFR Latino identifies as African that’s the key they must identify as African being biologically black is not enough Clarence Thomas is biologically black Jesse Lee Peterson is biologically black Candice Owens is biologically black Charles Barkley is biologically black but are you psychologically black does the light-skin African Latina sister identify with the rest of us if she does do she can be your wife if she doesn’t does not consider herself black has no type of affinity for American African then she is taboo if you consider yourself a pan-africanist or a man of his people so you’re not mad if a brother walks in with a you know a Spanish or a Latino I just came from Panama and seen a whole bunch of African panan there you go so you right I just came from you was in Cologne I just came from cologne bro that’s where yeah that’s they and you know Marcus Garvey lived there right he lived in Cologne City I didn’t know that that was one of the largest Garvey chapters brother wow so they black like us the problem is in the Caribbean they created a color hierarchy the white power structure so the lighter you were the more opportunity you had our people internalized that and they said well I only want to have children with light-skinned people so I could move up in society you see that but for those Latinos who didn’t allow that to seep into their psyche I have no problem I would marry a African Latino sister if she’s black and conscious and proud to be African it’s about the mentality and the Consciousness not the complexion Latina drop your IG he said he down with it you just gota you gotta be okay with too and I think well I think this qualifies under the same you let me know uh Dr Umar but my mom shout out to Tamisha for she says my mom uh is white and my father is black if Race Matters more than Spirit what are you saying about biracial children who do you propose we date okay first of all you’re assuming that Caucasians have a spirit that’s number one damn number two in the panafrican movement we do not discriminate against mixed race Africans so if your mother is white and your father is black or your father is white and your mother is black once again if you identify with your African family I have no issue at all with marrying a mixed race African sister I’ve dated mixed race African sisters Martin Delaney the grandfather of pan-africanism was married to a mixed race African sister some of our Pana africanist forefathers were mixed race African men so Bob Marley was mixed race there’s even some conjecture that the great Nat Turner might have been mixed race so we don’t discriminate why not because you’re not responsible for how you got here you you had no control over that you have the DNA of Africa in you and if you loyal to it come on in and join the party I just ask that the mix race Africans don’t play the fence you want to be Pro black when Dr Umar around but you a straight up Jew when I’m not around you see what I’m saying so make up your mind that you gonna be a full-time African if you make up your mind you gonna be a full-time African we good like get it no issue with it’s clear it’s very clear so everybody that had question it should be cleared up I’mma bring one or two other people up real quick so we can get your take on this before we move back to the conversation here uh who we gonna bring up on this joint M you know what let’s bring the brother we got Mike in the chat here Mike welcome to the stage welcome to Harley initiative my brother can you hear us loud and clear mik check mik check give do me a favor Mike give me your age your location and I want to hear your take on this uh 29 uh California and Umar is not going to like me because I believe that you can date who you want to date just don’t be a and you know we regard Frederick Douglas with high esteem and he married a white woman at the end of the day so I look at a man’s actions more so than who he dates let me respond to my brother and I appreciate the dialogue because we still Brothers even if we disagree I want to clarify the Frederick Douglas piece you’re absolutely right about a decade before his death as an old man he married a white woman but let’s not forget about Queen Mother Anna Marie Douglas who he was married to for nearly 50 years who gave birth to all five of his children who helped him Escape From Slavery to Freedom and who ran the Underground Railroad in Rochester New York during his absence I’m only bringing that up because we talk about the white woman so much that a lot of our children don’t know Frederick Douglas had a dark skinned chocolate beautiful nappy-headed wife so I want to make sure Anna Mary Douglas gets her due now to your to your point that we can marry who we want and not be a how is not building a family with a black woman how can you be exempt from cooning if you do not build family with black woman so by your own rhetoric it’s okay if we marry a white woman as long as we marry a black woman first no you should not be marrying a white woman at all if the salvation of the African people rest on the shoulders of the African family do we not have an obligation to be with our own women interesting and and I believe that you exclusively right yes and what about the wealth argument women on average outlive their husbands so when we transition if we married a snow bunny is she going to use any of your wealth to empower the black community after you’re going I IE Kobe Bryant IE Marvelous Marvin Haggler you know all these great black men who married these white women James Earl Jones is an elder we’re not expecting him to go anywhere anytime soon Sydney is Sydney poder still with us or did he I’m not sure somebody look that up look that up please I think I don’t want to speak it if it’s not correct we don’t want to force no Elders into the land of the ancest before their time the only reason I mentioned that I judge a man by his actions is because pass Sydney porier passed away married to a white woman he was a very wealthy man that white woman got all the Sydney Pier’s money that non-african Latino got all of Kobe Bryant’s money that white woman got all of Marvelous Marvin hagler’s money this is wealth that we need to empower the black community and build institutions how are you not a sellout if you’re giving white people that type of wealth when they’ve already stolen enough from us how could you find a white woman who could ever understand you as well as a sister yeah well the only reason why I mentioned people’s actions is because you yourself exclusively date black yet you’re one of the biggest scammers in our community it’s been 12 years why you do me like that why you do me like that bro oh man was going good M went a little left man I thought the brother was a good brother yeah and you know I want to actually want to talk about some of the stuff that we’ve been hitting here because no problem no problem go right ahead got go right ahead we talked we hit on colorism a little bit which is a big problem in our community and black men I’mma put this on us sisters too we practice color I think the colorism of black men in the dating world supersedes the colorism of sisters in the dating world see never we we never you don’t hear this conversation yes sir yes sir so now what do you mean by that black men are extremely biased against darkskinned black women I’ve been in rooms I’ve been in events and this is a global phenomenon too it’s not limited here it’s a panafrican issue I’ve been in spaces right where there might be three or four sisters over there they are all attracted but the dark sister in some cases stunningly beautiful stunningly beautiful and the brother would always go to one of the lighter ones just because she was like I’ve seen this repeatedly and consistently I hear young men say they only date light-skin look at look look at the gangster rap Community many of our prominent gangster rappers have at least one song where they condem either condemn dark skinned women or promote light-skinned women Jay-Z he has a song earlier years where he says he only dates the wavy lightskin yeah him being with Beyonce is not an accident he probably would never consider a darkskinned woman I’m not trying to say Mr Carter is a light-skinned supremacist but going off of his Li his lyrics he may definitely qualify for one our dark skinned sisters who are just as beautiful as our Browns and our yellows are being overlooked by black men because they don’t have a complexion that approximates the slave master that’s you know and we never really talk about and it has permeated the black Consciousness Community I’mma put my black conscious people on blast too and by black Consciousness I’m Loosely referring to all the brothers who claim to be woke in some way or another including Scholars elders and youth if you go through the conscious Community 99% of all the conscious Talking Heads have women who can pass a brown paper bag test you’re not going to tell me it’s a pure coincidence that most of our black Scholars most of our young unconscious Brothers in the youtubian world you can’t tell me it’s purely coincidence that 99% of them have women who can pass the brown paper bag test our darkskinned sisters are not in short supply we are simply overlooking them and I’ll tell you this and I’ll be quiet for a long time I said I would only marry a dark-skinned sister because I saw how they got overlooked and working in the schools I saw how the chocolate girls were always the last to be approached so I said I’m going marry a chocolate Queen and put the chocolate women back on the map and then I had to sit down one day and I said if you do that you practicing dark skinn Supremacy what if the woman your ancestors is sending you is fair skin is town is tan is brown you may miss out on the woman you need to complete your mission here on Earth because you’re now saying that you have a one track mind that will only date chocolate but your queen may actually be of another complexion so I had to check myself because in wanting to defend my chocolate beautiful African queens I almost became a chauvinist myself against light-skinned women and I’m G to put this on black men we got to stop worshiping skin color and disrespecting and dismissing our chocolate women so because you know man this is a really great conversation with you because you’re a doctor of Clinical Psychology and this really this thing really does get psychological because when I’m thinking about the women I’ve dated and even some of you know the the the dark skinned women that have gotten very vulnerable with me all of them in their honesty have communicated challenges dealing with men dealing with just different areas of their lives associated with that part of it yes and do you find that just overall the darker skinned women are probably dealing with more insecurity or selfworth issues at scale yes the light-skin Supremacy that our beautiful dark skinn sisters have to put up with is an extra layer of pain they carry but guess what although it is worse than what the extremely pale skin sisters have to deal with I would say second to the chocolate sisters trauma around skin color is the pale skin sisters trauma around skin color the super light bright Queens they also go through a lot of trauma it’s not as much as the dark I want to be clear about that but they go through it I see it in the schools the lightskinned girl with the green eyes they gotta fight every day now the dark skinn One’s Gonna Be called ugly African booty scrap right right but the light-skinned one she getting her face scratched out every day they bite you understand because they assuming because she’s lightskinned with hazel eyes she thinks she better when she not so if you exist on either extreme of the color Continuum within the African Kingdom you suffer that’s true if you’re a tan and a brown you safe but if you a super light bright super chocolate you’re GNA suffer but without question the chocolate suffer way more and I will say this too it’s another one we don’t talk about the I lightskinn Brothers very very very lightskinned Brothers okay suffer one of my very closest friends I grew up with he was one of these brothers and you’ll find that a lot of the very very light-skinned brothers because of conditioning how they’re treated growing up a lot of them feel like they got something to prove so you know what a lot of them feel like they gotta be the baddest B I just learned this they gotta be the gangsters they got to be the thugs I might need I have my brother D1 up here D1 is a good brother and we asked yo why why is your hair locked up he said I had to get locked up because growing up like this was how I connected to my blackness people had to know I was black by looking at my hair my locks so that was now now the Blackness is a little bit different from the masculinity though yes right that is so separate them out that is but you’re saying even in terms of the masculinity in terms of him being able to assert himself as a man he felt well lightskinn Brothers can feel that they are sometimes treated like they ain’t got enough swag because they’re lightskinned absolutely I just heard this for the first time a couple months ago and I never heard it before that but Brothers told me that I never knew that that people thought light-skinned guys were weaker were weaker soft because when I went when I look back in middle school and high school a lot of the bullies were lightskinned you see so I didn’t know that the lightskinn brothers felt that they were kind of viewed as soft I never saw it that’s a r but I did hear this now you’re a lighter brother I’m put you on the spot running lightskinn thing you know like oh you acting lightskinn yeah you know that’s that’s lightskinn Behavior yeah okay and you get that from you get that from women and men that’s what the colorism yeah I’ve heard that but what about your masculinity growing up did you feel that you were viewed as softer or weaker because you were lighter do you feel your gangster was tested more because you were light not me specifically but you seen it yeah for sure maybe somebody was you know it’s it’s funny because depends on who light is let me tell you really hit me I don’t know how long y’all been following me but if you go back to 2017 2016 2017 me and the good brother cus Su and CTI had a beef uh shout out to cus Su and CTI he is RBG so I respect the brother um and I did my little rant in Detroit with my Phillies hat my classic seti rant and I I called him albino because I’m going in on him right I don’t do lightskin Supremacy my father’s as light as se you feel me so it wasn’t about that I’m just going in on it and I started getting hit up by all these light-skinned Africans men women Elders like Dr Umar you got to take that back you can’t say that you know because a lot of us struggle I didn’t know you feel me because there was a light-skinned privilege in society I overlook the fact that although this may count more in the white world it can be a detriment in the black community you see that so I had to check myself on that so shout out to all my lightskinn folks and apologies to those I might have offended a couple years ago that’s almost nine years ago 17 18 1921 two three seven years ago with the seti uh comment about him being albino so shout out to my lightskinn Africans and my albino Africans okay we all one family there we go there we go much love and now let’s let me ask this question here because um you know I think this is a very important part of our platform we’ve brought a lot of you know people up from you know the Christian backgrounds we brought people up from Muslim backgrounds okay and um I I truly do because we talk about all aspects of relationships and okay your spiritual belief systems are connected to your value systems I believe they are that’s why those you know spiritual leaders bringing them up are vitally important you know are prominent and can bring some real gain to the conversation true but see I want to talk to you in particular about the black church in general okay because I know you’ve had some you know perspectives and opinions about it just in general as far as the black church and the role that is currently played in where we are economically relationally with our families do you feel like it it it should have where it has played the role that it should have played not since the assassination of Dr King after Dr King was assassinated andar buried a few days later here in Atlanta Georgia the black church out of fear retreated from the front lines of the struggle and it reinvented itself away from being an organization of agitation to an organization of accommodation now the black church accommodates the agenda the white power structure has for us before we fought we fought now let’s go have a cup of tea with the president let’s go have a cup of tea with the government and see if we can get a couple Crumbs from what he’s about to do although what he’s about to do is going to destroy our community you see that there’s no more fight in the black church the black church is more parasitic and exploitative of the black community than the Chinese stop and go than the Latino bedo the difference between the Latino bedo and the Chinese stop and go and the Walmart and every place else we shop is at least you get something for your money what do you get back from the black church when you invest we he give the black church $3 million every Sunday collectively in this country show me a black church with a supermarket for the people show me a black church with a bank for the people show me a black church with a manufacturing and distribution Network to hire our men and women show me a black church with a black school that children who are not Christian or Muslim or Hebrew can go to but is that the responsibility of the church though it was historically why did it change the black church was the One-Stop shot for us from the time we showed up in America We buried our dead through the church we got hired through the church we for the KKK to the church we did our politics to the church everything you needed was in the black church so it made sense for you to spend all your time at the church because the church was everything they still want us to spend all our time at the church and what are they doing for us no institutions three million dollars a Sunday and no institutions that’s highway robbery if you really care about doing the Lord’s work why you so comfortable with your people living in hell that’s interesting because because I think that’s a lot of pressure to put on the black church and I only put it on churches who have a net income of $250,000 a year if you’re bringing in less than $250,000 a year I will accept you doing some good for the community but I’m not expecting you to build a bank a school a hospital or Supermarket but if you netting 250,000 and if you a mega church if you a mega church C dollar tdj if you a mega church and you ain’t got no institutions for the black community come on man an exploiter so what’s the ideal give me the ideal picture that you would like to see even let’s say a mega church pling the community I would like the mega church to have a Black Wall Street and what I mean by that is those four institutions a clinic for the people whether they Christian or not they black a school for the children whether they Christian or not they black a supermarket that feed our people fresh food coming from the black Farmers okay and also a bank to invest in our people so we can get this entrepreneurial Spirit up because there’s no job jobs left in America we have to help black people create jobs for themselves we have to become black America’s going to have to go full-time entrepreneur wow no more jobs they giving everything to the uh to the migrants the migrants are in America to replace the Africans this is The Purge absolutely do they have a role and a hand in the outcome of where we are as far as our families are concerned who the church I would say yes and I’m going tell you why the black church caters to the black woman and the reason the black church caters to the black woman is because the black woman is the provider she has more income and education than the man so they’re looking at this financially they also have a vested interest in her never getting married whoa the pastor is the metaphorical husband of all the single women in the community I’m not saying he’s sleeping with them I’m saying he’s keeping them so distracted with Jesus that they never find a husband and that’s the way he wants it to stay because if she finds a husband she won’t have as much time to be donating to the church all the time W so the black church benefits from single motherhood they don’t want our sisters married because their pockets would go down is this all church or just the black church there’s always exceptions well I don’t care about the white church because that I’m not thinking [Laughter] about all us I’m talking about us it’s not every Church there exception to every rule I know good pastors I know good churches I spee in churches all the time but exceptions don’t negate the rule though you find a snake that don’t bite that does not negate the fact that most snakes are going to tear your ass up if they get a chance to you feel me I got and most black churches are exploitative and do not serve the needs of the community how your church is in the middle of a ghetto with all these problems we got and you not addressing a single one of them black church takes three things from black people we can’t afford to waste too much damn time too much damn money and too much damn hope we don’t need hope we need an agenda for change now I want to bring this talk back to the relationship this is for my black sisters out there brothers too but especially Sisters You Hear sisters say all the time I’m a born again Christian my husband need to be a born again Christian I’m a Hebrew my husband need to be a Hebrew I’m a Muslim my husband need to be musl I’m a roster my husband need to be excuse me do you sisters realize you have Slim in these streets you already got a small available pool of heterosexual men you’re going to reduce it even further by demanding they be of the same religious Doctrine that’s insane if a sister is going to say my husband got to be a Jehovah’s Witness like me you only had about two or three men you can marry anyway now you ain’t got one so I just think black women need to rethink two things two things number one this idea that I should not get married until I finish all my colle studies oh that’s a big one getting married after they done college is the reason why a lot of our sisters are not getting married and are not having babies because they’re putting off the marriage because you know good Christian girl my daddy and mommy put me through college I’mma finish law school first I’mma finish med school first I’m gonna get my master I’m become a social work I’m gonna get my license then I’m gon look for a husband only problem is sweetheart you’re not going to be done all this till you about 35 and now you freezing eggs you see what I’m saying I get exactly what you’re saying your biological clock is ticking which is going to often lead to you presenting yourself to available men as somewhat thirsty because you’re not gonna be able to hide the fact you know you’re aware of your clock ticking which is going to end up leading to you possibly never getting married black women have to stop putting off family for career because they don’t have as many options as their counterparts the whites the Reds the yellows and the Browns that’s one thing black women need to rethink putting it off in until completion of college number two looking for a man who has to be the same religion that’s another mistake you’re narrowing it down too much you Mayan listen I’m a pan africanist so we believe in religious freedom right I don’t care if my wife is a roster Hebrew it don’t matter to me as long as you are rooted in God that’s what matters with serving the same Supreme Being that’s what matters not the Dogma in the doctrine so black woman you’re telling me you would risk out on a good man because he does not approach God’s science the way you do let’s drop that poll by the way I want to see how many ladies definit we drop a poll let’s see how many ladies are willing to date a man that is not of the same religion and I that’s actually a good point because let’s actually culture that because I’ve had people come on here and say you never do it I have people that come up on here and say that you better be open to it look at your situation we are in a state of Crisis so black women in black men got to understand decisions you would have normally made another way you have to look at them differently now because of your options I’mma give you another mistake black women make so one is postponing marriage and child birth to after college two demanding that your husband be of the same religious persuasion and you know what the third one is what’s that wanting black men to come to the relationship table having already achieved success one of the biggest advantages the snow bunnies have on our women is snow bunnies will find a Dusty brother and see his skill his talent you feel me yeah invest in him in college and by the time he become a multi-millionaire at 35 she been with him the whole walk you see that a lot of sisters are not going to do that they not going to find a Dusty brother in his senior year or Dusty brother in the community but you see he got this business IDE idea she like n come back and see me when it’s up and running I don’t think this ever gonna happen soon you soon you waved him off the snow bunny got him the snow bunny invested in him you feel me 10 years later the same brother see you you trying to holler he got the white girl now you dissing him you saying they all want wers nah he came to you you said you want a readymade black man you don’t want to work in progress and I’m telling black women y’all better start going for some of these Works in progress instead of waiting for us to finish the job because you lose into the snow bunny when you when you tell us to wait until we got the bag you know you got know how to analyze that stock got to you gotta know you gotta know how when that St going rise yo 3,100 people in the chat the denti is going crazy right now Dr Umar Johnson is blazing the mic right now what we got right there L the TV back up yeah yeah check this out the poll just dropped guys so I’m gonna read this poll real quick this was a good poll yes sir and I want to ask something real quick I W to ask I want I want to bring something in real quick after you drop that poll poll are you willing willing to marry a man that’s outside of your religion and and fellas tap into this one too are you willing to marry a woman that’s outside of your religion so far we got over 400 votes so it’s it’s going crazy and it’s I’m not even gonna tell you where it’s at I’m G just know I’m not g tell you where it’s at right now but Dr Umar here’s what I want you to break down for the people because for somebody who feels like you cannot how do I assess that I am aligned with somebody and can have a good value you know we on the same value page and system with this person with a completely different religion observation always beats information so I’m not asking my woman if she shares the same values I have I’m observing her closely I’m looking for the gaps in what you say versus what you do you got to make sure you’re studying the person and guess what our women are so used to us not studying them and being particular about their likes and dislikes one of the best things you can do for a black woman is let her know you know things about her she never told you you feel me I know your favorite color you feel me they want to know that you actually paying attention to me because one of the weaknesses we make fellas we hustle so much because so many black men are unemployed right half the black men in Atlanta unemployed Philly Brooklyn you name it when we can earn the bag sometimes we get so arrogant and egotistical with the fact that we can earn that we think that’s all we got to do one of the quickest ways for your woman to tiptoe act out the back door on your ass is for you not to spend quality time with her because you providing her with all the material likings that she desire she needs time remember men cheat for sex and comfort women cheat for attention and understanding it may lead to the bedroom but that ain’t why she saw R run those back run those back I want to hear that I want to hear men cheat for sex and comfort okay women cheat for attention and understanding they want someone to understand them that’s why when our women cheat we hurt more because we know if she spread them thighs she felt him yeah when we cheat she may be hurt but not as much cuz with us it could be more superficial she was five five thick in the thighs I just had to hit that you see that Slayer but when she spread them thighs you know she had a connection with that man and that’s why we got to make sure we put in time in because I’m seeing too many brothers oh yeah I bought the BS we got the big house two pools I just took it a vegan but but outside of that you ain’t putting no time in and guess what she gonna end up spending time with a guy who ain’t got half of what you got because for a woman allthough yeah they can be materialistic they like the physical things you can provide them with but at the end of the day she’s still a woman and she needs a man who can pour into her soul if you cannot pour into that woman’s Soul she will leave you so to answer that question how do I go about observing whether or not war how do I go about I got to study this you got to study him and the family see my thing is who raised you I want to spend time I’m not even letting her I’m gonna find out who ra once she tell me my mom was a single mom I’m coming to tell Mom I’m coming over here for dinner I’m play it off I like the food but I need to hear what come out your mom mouth because I need to know what core values she raised you with CU see that’s another thing we ignore about people when you studying them you got to look for the core values for example I don’t value materialism so if I if I meet a sister who gotta have the Louis bag the Balenciaga Hills it’s a turn off because I’m not into that even if I can provide her with that I don’t want to do that you know why we got homeless kids out here we got mothers on the street I can’t afford to be giving you all this when some of this need to be going to the struggle into the community so you got to look at what people core believe some people fundamentally believe I’m nobody without these expensive things yeah are you sure this is who you want raising your children because another mistake we make as men is we were like the woman for ourself and never say is that the kind of mother you want for your son is that the kind of mother you want for your daughter do you want your daughter being raised on blind weaves and expensive shoes you see that and a lot of times we don’t look at that till she get pregnant and then like oh I’m have a ghetto baby you know what I mean tattoos and booty shaking we got the we are too quick to go for the physical and not study as to whether or not this is a woman we want around for the long term let’s let’s close out that poll what we at what we at on that poll because I want to see what the people thinking let me check it out real quick I’mma close it out all right are you willing to marry a man that’s outside of your religion we got over 630 vots it’s going it’s going going going going 700 61% of people say no no what no what they are not willing to marry outside of their religion I’m not sure they’re being completely honest I’mma tell you why I’ve seen sisters who say they were date outside the religion and when they were propositioned by a brother who wasn’t of the religion or had no religion you think they said no and he was that dude you think they said no that’s cap that’s cap that’s cap 100% 100% it sounds that’s cap that’s it’s a lot of sex going on and there’s a lot of people that’s just not religious at all so I I would consider not religious outside of your religion absolutely no 100% over 700 votes too by way just close that they gotta have God in their life but dictating a person’s Doctrine as a condition for marriage for me is short minded shortsighted especially for where we are as a people wow man I got a super chat came up real quick let take that so if you didn’t shout out to uh I think Malica Malica or Malika love shout out to shout out to miss love all right Miss love we love you so if you didn’t get your kns met as a child and our partners can’t help with that how do we meet those needs on our own you mentioned getting a father figure or mother figure as a young adult how would you go about finding that you you ask for example I was raised Muslim in ISL when a woman became comes to the age where she’s ready to date if there’s no men in her father to serve as her chaperon she will find one or the brothers in the Masjid will find her one same thing in African culture your uncles will be that person you need yeah the problem is in the black community we so disorganized that women may have to go out and find them for themselves I’ve had young sisters approach me Dr Umar I don’t have that man that I need in my life life to back me up and talk to me and give me a hug when I need one and not what nothing from me and I say sure I’ll be that for you good sister you see what I’m saying because they need that all of us as men should have young ladies of adult age who we want nothing from except their best life you see what I’m saying because there’s too many of them out there with no type of fatherly Direction at all and I think because we know women love looking sexy I think sometimes as men we forget that women also have to bear the burden of always having to look sexy meaning we are often valuing our women for what they look like and not for who they are I saw a clip on Instagram the other day it was earther kit the great black actor and she said I met all these men all they wanted to do was lay me down and it wasn’t until I found this one man who was willing to help stand me up and he didn’t want what was between my legs so we gotta be we got to be very conscious as black men of sexual oppression so I go out of my way now when I’m around sisters to send them no Sexual Energy she might be fine as hell but I’m not gonna look at her ass I need her to know I ain’t here for that you you feel me because our sisters are so used to it that they lead with it and if we want them to stop leading with it we got to stop paying so much attention to it because at the end of the day as much as black women May sexually object objectify themselves they really don’t want to do it they do it because we have made it clear to them that this is the only way you can get one of us you know that’s really maturity I was talking to Ryan about that about you know being able to understand how to change your energy around women because me personally I’ve always been somebody you know probably called me quintessential a player back in the day just like having you know options like having ladies and now that I’m looking to transition you know into my Empire Building stage with one woman now how I approach and even the the Small Things the silic comments I make the way I stand move body language around women it all has to I’m I’m retraining myself likewise and how I think and how I move yes uh because even just as especially figures that’s you know in the public eye a woman is probably you know one of the greatest one of your greatest assets and also one of the greatest things that take you down absolutely as well absolutely got to pick a right gotta pick a right and we have to also recognize too brothers that you’re going to have to go through some of your self-imposed karma on the way to finding your queen oh that’s what we don’t want to hit at I know I know I know we don’t want to hit at you may have to get hurt once or twice wow on this path let me just be real you’re probably going to have happen to you what you’ve done to a woman that’s not good it’s not good you feel me yeah because that’s the way the universe works so the universe is glad you on your path to finding your one and only Queen but guess what the universe also has to give you back some of what you put out and you have to be focused enough not to get discouraged when you start experiencing some of the stuff you may women [Music] experience that’s a fact yeah and a lot of us a lot of us our Cara is going to get us through our daughters oh they’re going to be done by men we did women so get ready for it the sooner you stop your the sooner your karmic cycle can stop hitting you up that’s the worst kind of karma to get right there coming to your coming to the little girl yeah your baby and I know listen and that does happen because I got one of look one of my most Savage uncles one of my most Savage uncles of all time he got blessed with five daughters incredible incredible see that’s what I’m talking about five of them and I’m like we all looking at him like you know why that happened you know why that happened brother so you know yes it is what it is man you feeling right now we done with the hotline what man the initiation hotline is is we we still got people backstage yeah yeah let’s let some people look we we gonna let y’all come up and ask y questions y’all been patiently sent back here man let me give MJ another tribe man we brought MJ up she wasn’t ready MJ you ready to come back up to the stage sweetheart you ready yeah wait un your mic unmute your mic I am I was getting ready turn that volume down a little bit turn that volume down okay I’m sorry I have earphones on what up what up MJ if you can give me your age your location and move into your question okay so I’m 46 and I live in the Atlanta area I’m actually a a transplant from California so um I guess I’m just going to take it back to the question you asked about whether or not was it agreeing with interracial relationships or not um so personally I don’t agree with them because and and my rationale about it is that in order for a black person to be in a relationship um male or female with an individual and another race they have to be less than who they are as a black person they have to like dumb down their Blackness to make that other race comfortable and I’ve seen that so many times C ens but so I I personally don’t don’t think it’s healthy or the the necessary the the right thing um because of that I don’t think you should ever start off a Rel relationship being less than who you are um in order to have what you would think of be a successful relationship so um I just want to comment on that um regard and um also I mean I’m I like I said I’m 46 I’ve never been married no kids but um I’m a firm believer in Hugh finds a wife finds a good thing so at the same time I haven’t been out there doing anything for whoever the most high has for me to find me um and that includes being less than who I need to be in order to um meet that person that the most high has for me so that’s all I wanted to say and Dr Umar huge fan so glad to be in the same space with you right now and you’re doing the right thing sister because often your gift of a mate is often preceded by a time of extreme loneliness yeah one of the reasons why a lot of us never find the person we want is we’re too distracted by people we know we don’t need right and so at your lady friends if I look at the brothers I know who want to find a good woman yeah but they got three or four who they know are not what they need but they will not release them back to the universe right and until they release them back to the universe their ancestors are not going to send them the woman that they need because if she comes at the wrong time he will hurt her and she will have to flee him right so we have to for what we it’s not just about it you got to be ready for it right exactly definitely agree so thank you thank you so much for coming up here sweetheart I appreciate you coming and sharing with us okay all right and I enjoy the show thank you guys thank you Dr Umar thank you s appreciate you she was excited first of all that’s a fact I told my lady look the young lady I’m dating now I said listen thank God you ain’t meet me three years ago that guy the timing is where it is supposed to be because that maturity has to happen that that mindset shift all those things have to be aligned you know for it to go down which is why you talk about that man when you was talking about that age that psychological age at the position that we in yes a part of breaking the curse and a part of catching up right now we are we have to mature yes faster than we probably traditionally would that’s what we’re tasked with we’re tasked with our psychological age to be well ahead of our biolog iCal age in order for us to advance and to progress so we can make mature decisions so we could build something AB absolutely and another Point too gentlemen on this issue of black male female relationships we got to deal with the spiritual vampire issue so as I said earlier a lot of us use relationships as a drug to distract us from the problems we don’t want to solve going on in ourselves so that means all through Atlanta you got men and women who are very unhealthy looking for love they can’t find it because the trauma blocking it but they will come into your life and your life up because they didn’t want to fix their own and then blame you for why they unhappy when they were miserable before they met you I’m bringing this up because there’s a certain type of a spiritual vampire we got to deal with in the black community and that’s the domestically abusive black man we got too many black men beating on our sisters and now right now we got a campaign of black men killing our sisters killing them we never did this before we doing it now so I want to make a plea to all black men if you know you got demons in your closet unmet childhood needs issues rape abuse molestation uh uh abandonment please find somebody to help you process your because if you don’t especially if your issues revive around your mother sooner later the woman in your life is going to objectify to the mother you hate and you gonna hurt her and I need women to understand you cannot heal a domestic abuser I don’t know why black women keep on thinking I can love him out of kicking my ass it’ll never happen if a man hit you once he’s gonna hit you again and going back to the black church and forgive me for pointing brother no you good you good that’s my thing forgive me no you’re good the black church has not done enough to deal with domestic abuse and we know that a lot of these abusers are churchgoing men domestic abuse is one of the elephants in the room in the black community and I don’t see any serious or major black organizations including the church in the Masjid doing anything about domestic abuse of our sisters Bob amen we’ve had conversations about that we’ve had whole episodes on domestic violence CU you 100% right and you know the Ladies Man shout out to the the the uh initiat man because they’ve came out and told us some things that are very shocking but the interesting thing about those Brothers is they know who they can get away oh you know with we know we we we know the risk factors yeah fatherlessness brotherless lonely women thirsty women who feel like they got to have a man and and this and to my women my mothers you have to raise your daughters to be willing to trust TR a man but at the same time knowing how to conduct herself as a lady because too many of our girls are seeing their mother’s thirst for a partner and so mommy is coming home with anybody just because she needs somebody in her bed not for sex it’s for that loneliness you see which is really a cry from the spirit that there’s some issues that need to be addressed but you think it means you just got to get a man in the house and your daughter is watching you practice no discernment with the man you bring into your home and she’s likely to replicate the same behavior pattern we need our first of all nobody should be meeting your children anyway unless you’re pretty sure this is going somewhere you don’t bring men home on the first date you don’t bring a woman home on the first date your children should have only seen one or two people you’ve ever dated cuz those the only two or three people you ever thought something could get serious with I think we’re introducing strangers to our children well before we have properly vetted them and decided if they might occupy a permanent place in our lives when when is the right time though because that question comes up a lot a lot of young ladies dating a single moms so when does or is the right time to introduce someone into your child’s life when you feel that this man or this woman and you are moving towards something serious and you feel pretty certain that it’s going to be happening soon you see what I’m saying now and it’s not you feel though y’all should have had conversations I agree yes about what the hell is going on at this point and now that you said that you brought up another issue child rearing when y’all decide to co-parent each other’s nonbiological children you better have a conversation because that can destroy your marriage you ever date a sister who had a spoiled ass son who disrespect respected her on the regular and you’re sitting there and this little ninja is talking to his mother like she’s and you like I can’t allow this and she like that’s not your son and I’m like I understand but you still a black woman whether we dating or not and if we G to take this further I got to check him I’m not saying I got to put my hands on him but I cannot he won’t respect me if I let him dog you like that and guess what that’s another reason a lot of good black women have lost out on good black men because they were so protective of their sons that they couldn’t stand to see a nonbiological father check their son and they lost out on the husband so I’m telling you sisters now get your sons in order because a real man cannot stand by and let you get disrespected by your son only for you to turn around and tell him it ain’t your place to say nothing well if it ain’t my place to say nothing it ain’t my place to even be in your life I’m out cuz I’m not putting up with this facts absolutely not man absolutely not I man I’ve even seen um I’ve I have a very good friend close friend of mine and I keep his um name Anonymous but in particular he’s going through something right now a divorce in particular and um he assumed at the beginning of the marriage of child where he was not the biological father and all throughout he communicated that you know there would be times where when it came down to it especially in the area of discipline yes because that’s where it exposed where he stood in that child’s life and what his position was even though he was the father in you know in the time spent the energy and everything that he poured in he communicated like deep distress that it hurt his soul when he was put in his place as The Stepfather when it was time for him to put the child in their place and and to that point if if ladies if you feel you need to check your significant other over how they’re disciplining your son don’t ever do it in the presence of the children step into another room excuse yourself don’t ever emasculate a man in front of your children he may have been wrong with the way he engaged your son or daughter but you cannot chastise him in front of the children you have to step away and handle that type of energy I’m GNA tell you something right now take me right if I marry a queen who got children are you open to that of course okay I have no because I don’t have no Sons no biological Sons so I’m definitely open to a queen Heaven children but guess what I am a stickler for academics do you feel me absolutely so if I get with a queen who’s lazy on the homework and lazy on the commitment to the education we gonna have to have a long talk either you going to let me take this plate I’m I’m gonna do the education thing in the house because ain’t no child in here gonna be on no ADHD medicine no IEPs no learning you understand we not doing that in my house so she got to know that when it come down to the books I’m gonna be on them and she got to be comfortable with that because if you ain’t comfortable with me getting on with the academics ain’t no need for us to moveing together there’s no way I’m going to let academically lazy ass child lay their head in my house and we got to know that about ourselves we got to tell women and women got to tell man I’m a stickler for this this one of my Hang-Ups here like a woman might tell you I’m a clean freak some women are clean Freaks and ain’t nothing wrong with that if you’re not OCD because I’mma tell you right now sisters if you OCD men tend not to be OCD women do it’s hard for OCD woman to keep a man because most men have trouble living in a house where you’re not allowed to breathe or something might get dirty you feel me can’t take your shoes off can’t take your socks like some women are so OCD that you feel like you in a prison or Boot Camp or something so sisters got to work in an OCD and you know what OCD come from that’s the intent to overcontrol your environment because you have no control over yourself whoa yes that I did not know whoa so OCD cuz you know obsessive compulsive I used to I used to crack a joke like you be like I kind of like that you know I like to walk into a sister spot and it smell like candles and you know what I’m saying bath and body that’s cool but is it to the point where you can’t really relax because she’s so in other words you can’t lay on the couch you know you got to wash the dish off soon when you put it in the sink you know to the point where you don’t want to touch nothing use nothing or y’all come home from a date and she want to moop the floor before go toed like they can’t even function no I get it boom I at that point you’re not at peace on the flip side OCD is a personality disorder right obsessive compulsive person ocpd you can have OCD regular or ocpd but Brothers we got to be careful about the narcissism we can be narcissistic and the ladies they a lot of black men have I’m God’s gift to the world syndrome and it turns a lot of sisters off we got to get the narcissism thing under control and we tend to be bigger narcissists than the Caucasians you know why we had to work harder to get where we are so we tend to feel entitled to our grandiosity and it throws a lot of black women off and some men are not looking for a partner they don’t want feedback they just want to tell the woman what to do and how to do it that’s slavery that’s not a relationship and a lot of sisters can’t put up with that we need to work on our on our narcissism we definitely need to work on our narcissism okay no that make a lot of sense yo we got some super chats that came in let’s let’s read those real quick yeah we got a bunch of super chats so I’m I’m G kind of mix them up mix them and match them so uh let’s go with uh with with nona first or no nor Jean Norah says What About Us ladies who have been single and celibate for years and seriously losing interest in dating at all no woman loses interest in having a man you might get tired of a dating game but you never lose interest in having a man here’s three things I say to women who say they can’t find a good man number one where are you looking because if the club is the primary environment where you’re looking for a good guy you’re in the wrong spot number two where are you not looking have you been to the university lectures have you been to any the political debates have you been to any of the investment club meetings if you want to meet a man who’s about something put yourself in an environment where people are about something it’s amazing how many women looking for a good man at the swap meet at the at on the cruise he ain’t on the cruise to meet a wife he’s on the cruise to clap cheeks Slayer okay so sisters got to stop trying to find the right guy in the wrong environment and the third thing I would say to black women are you too self-guiding men away who would have normally approached you had it not been for this energy of don’t talk to me and guess what a lot of single women give off an energy of don’t talk to me because they’re not conscious of how guarded they are about being hurt she don’t even realize she’s repelling men she’s repelling them because she’s so afraid of getting getting hurt that that sends out a non-verbal signal to me that she might already be taken don’t even look there sisters have to work on a non-verbal Behavior wow three-step formula for you wait a listen she taking care of shout out to uh I think this is D do she says are we sure that we want to promote polygamy under the current conditions in the community what about promoting the practice of sexual discipline she then goes to mention one in five people have an STD and most of us will absolutely not share okay couple of things number one polygyny does not mean the absence of sexual discipline I would even argue that it promotes sexual discipline because it makes men accountable for all the undercover relationships that they’re not claiming in public oh I don’t need a woman’s relationship to have sex with multiple women we can any we can do that in Atlanta yeah if I’m telling you I want plural marriage I’m telling you I want to be responsible and accountable to y’all otherwise I could stay a Serial monogamous for Life who stopping you from being a Serial monogamous nobody who stopping you from being a Serial monogamous person no you understand so seral serial monogamy does not require approval if I’m saying polygyny I’m saying I want these two women to come together and meet and see if they can work with me so we can build and if we look at this economically if we’re trying to FasTrack black people because you know the black white wealth Gap like this if we want to close the black white wealth Gap Tak the emotions out you got to go pogy three incomes is better than two do you feel me if you really looking at this from an economic empowerment perspective poision is the way to go economically now the reason why sisters can’t share has nothing to do with being a woman CU in Africa they share in the Caribbean they share Black America can’t share do you want to know why why is that the biggest reason polygyny cannot work right now in Black America is not the men women are in a competition with each other oh black women have a worse relationship than black men okay and because of that petty caddy comparing their hair comparing their body comparing their clothes comparing their job comparing their car they compare and compete with each other more than we do so you mean to tell me the same sister I’m trying to outdo I got to work with her so we can share you I’m out she wants to outdo her she don’t want to cooperate with her polygyny is communal cooperation between Queens if you competing with black women how you going to cooperate and I tell you another reason why sisters got to at least have the conversation because let me be clear I’m not saying sisters got to accept polygyny forever it could be temporary the next 10 years the next 20 years till we get out this I’m not saying perpetually but until we fix this when black men stop killing other black men because they all got a chance to be successful then maybe we can stop the polygyny it’s only when there’s an imbalance in the male female ratio but guess what because there’s not enough men to go around Sisterhood ain’t never been the same our sisters relationship with each other has been impaired by the fact they’re competing over the same men I can’t tell you the stories I’ve heard about sisters taking sisters husbands best friend taking best friend husbands I’ve heard that from mom and daughter yes because it ain’t enough to go around so my thing is this here’s the Eternal question what are we ultimately doing this for are we doing it for oursel or are we doing it for the community because if we doing it for the community you’re going to have to consider polygyny because on paper without the emotions it’s one of the best things we can do for some men who can afford to do it in a Tim limited fashion but I agree with what she said though I do believe black men have sexually objectified black women so much that I think a lot of us would try to abuse the poony and for that reason we would need a Council of Elders we’re not doing this on our own there’s a Council of Elders that oversee all plural marriages who will supervise them counsel them guide them we will look to Elders who are already in plural relationships to help us do this thing the right way here’s the reality this is the one thing I disagree with the sisters on I understand their sentiment when they talk about polygyny and how it can be abused right right here’s where I disagree they say why don’t we just practice celibacy and monogamy until we get our act together as black Americans who you know is waiting to have sex until Black America gets his act together right not not one person see how unrealistic see that is the type of unrealistic suggestions that could put out there it’s not realistic guess what the sister without a man she’s not even waiting to find a single man she going to co-op the married man behind a married woman’s back until she find of man you see what I’m saying so we got to be honest nobody’s hormones is waiting for the community to rebuild itself so we got to deal with reality as it is and let’s be the older women get the higher their sexual appetite go so you mean to tell me you got all these 35 to 55 year old sisters who on fire on fire and they going to go straight celibate until the black community fixes itself do a poll on that I had a very well respected therapist come up here and I we told him we was gonna do an event and we said man you know a lot of the problem with a lot of these events in the relationship space is always women yeah right n of fellas yeah and I told her listen our goal was to have it 6040 we wanted to have 40% men she said no Ty you need to have 50% I said why is that she said because when there’s not enough men in the room the nature of the women in the room start to change I said what I said what do you mean by that and this is a Woman by the way she’s a woman and she’s like Ty you don’t put enough uh men in the room you’re gonna see all the women will compete all of a sudden they will not be as collaborative in talking to each other what I just say they’ll be more likely to be caddy and you know group up and you know it won’t be the atmosphere won’t be the energy you want if you don’t produce that it either has to be all women or a a more men more men than women she said and is what she or Perfect Balance because if you do that n not a man ain’t happy right but see the reality of the situation was that was just an event that we were discussing now when you talk about an entire environment an ecosystem where there’s not enough men how what can be created from that it makes a lot of sense and now you talk about so when we start talking about you you pretty much called out the Black American in particular women having the biggest issue with sharing is it just solely because of the numbers being so lopsided like why why is the competing why is the competing so bad because it ain’t enough to go around it’s not enough is that simple that’s the biggest part there’s other factors but that’s the biggest part if you are a woman a black woman in America right now and you live in a major city or even rural you know that there’s only one black man for every 20 of you guys you you see what I’m saying and it’s not a happy set of Affairs to have to deal with and and and I got to say this to the radical black feminist Queens who are successful it’s not that you’re too strong and black men can’t put up with a strong woman a lot of you are too nasty and condescending some women want men to worship them like literally that’s why you lonely they’ll say I’m lonely because I make too much money and he intimidated I got too much education and he intimidated that’s true for a lot of men but for the men who make the same money and got the same education it’s not true we’re not messing with you because you’re too nasty and arrogant and you want somebody to kiss your ass and we’re not going to do that so we got narcissism the sisters got some narcissism they got to handle too especially the successful sisters they can have the nose in the air for real you know I’m not cooking what you’re not cooking and let me tell this to the the sisters who don’t want to cook there’s a lot of them if you are a black woman who don’t want to cook make sure you and your husband never go to Africa for vacation never go to the Caribbean for vacation fact and don’t go to the deep south of the United States for vacation and that’s changing and that’s changing too it is unfortunately it is but I’mma say this to you there’s no better way for a woman to steal your man than through his stomach man that’s a fact that principle is is as old as Moses and it starts off real simple because first of all women who don’t have men are always scheming on how to take yours the competition so when a woman knows you don’t cook for your man she start cooking hey girl I made some greens get these the Mike m oh you better toss them damn Greens in the trash that’s one thing so I don’t even I don’t even think women really understand that cuz I would never serious considered dating a woman that doesn’t know how to cook me it just make sense like I don’t need you don’t need them but if you don’t if you think about this it gets deep because you talked about the bond that we have as a kid with the opposite sex yes when you think about the bond we developed with our mother even as young who put that titty in our mouth to feed us to give us life as babies all the way up until us becoming young man and who poured into us the meals was one of the version she poured into us to give us life yes that you taking a baton yes right and now I gotta deal with Chick-fil-A right and and see here’s where the pretty women lose the fine sisters this where they get their heartbroke when they find out they man left them or is dipping on them with a woman who don’t look half as good self-esteem she don’t look nothing like she you know how she got him she catered to his ego she looked at what you would not do and she did it it is not hard for an unattractive woman to get an attractive woman’s man and any man to tell you when the lights off everything’s even click it again click it again when the lights are off okay that unattractive woman might got skills and talents that you ain’t even thought about having and this is why the full figured sisters don’t be sweating the pretty girls the average sisters don’t be sweating them because they know you ain’t doing for him what I can do for him so you giving Mike Mike the sweet potatoes Mike Mike the potato salad Mike Mike the grilled salmon Mike Mike The Jerk Wings Mike Mike the turkey legs and then one day Mike Mike come home and you ain’t home yet and Miss Vanessa made some pineapple upside down cake and Miss Vanessa said Mike mik you would to come get a slice of this pineapple upside down cake and by the time you get home he got Vanessa upside down in the pineapple upside down cake Slayer if your man now some sisters get lucky because they get a man who cook now sisters if you lucky enough to get a man who cook you good because your man Cooks but if you are dating a man who’s looking for his wife to be the chef you better learn some recipes I’m telling you I’m telling every man has dated a woman who you otherwise would not have looked at yep until you ate her food and once you ate that mac and cheese she looked completely different you was like maybe that is Beyonce right right people laugh at this power of food is no joke it’s de it’s no I mean it’s nothing it’s nothing that we need that GNA go a part of our day more than food than a good meal it’s nothing it’s nothing more important it’s nothing more important it’s nothing yeah and it shows that she values you it’s psychological it’s sexual the two strongest Cravings of a man is sex and hunger there’s no getting away from that your stomach is right over your reproductive system they’re related like you said the mother has our her titty in our mouth without us getting into too much Sigman Freud because that’s his whole thing you know the mom had the titty in the mouth so it is sexual with the fol right because she’s fulfilling a need a basic human need an appetite now let me say this because a sister just said food can’t keep a man let me say this to black women there’s nothing you can do that will make a man not leave you if he wants out but there are things when done well he will rethink that decision to leave you a hundred times over because not every woman is made the same not in the kitchen not in the bedroom you get sisters who say things like a coochie is a coochie no it’s not no it’s not some coochie got gold in it platinum in it some coochie could do backflips others can’t it’s important that women know that though because they think as long as it’s a no and we all know women are different just like where different and sisters need to know that but bigger than sex though bigger than sex I think sisters need to make sure we pay more attention to them than their vagina and they can do that by delaying our access to the vagina and making sure we spend more time out of the bedroom than in it because I think one of the weaknesses of black relationships too much time indoors not enough time outdoors and you know what I say to that to any black woman if your man spends more time with you indoors than Outdoors sooner or later that relationship is going to suffocate and die now when you say spend time Outdoors you mean dates doing anything yes and another mistake that women make when they get with us they stopped doing what they used to do when we met them that’s what attracted me to you used to work out every other day used to take your mother to church used to go with your girlfriends on you know sexy singles once a month whatever why did you stop doing the things that attracted me to you women need to understand keeping a man is War I want you to hear what I’m saying ladies I want you to hear what I’m saying ladies and it’s the same thing with us too yeah same thing with us too women cheat just as much as men they just know how to do it better so they don’t get caught the reason I say keeping a man is war is because once you conquer a country you got to keep from someone else conquering it when a woman finally gets the man she want she got to keep them satisfied so the 16 other ones who ain’t got a man don’t get them you see that and what happens with a lot of sisters is they let their self go kitchen bedroom physically their social life their career their business keep doing what attracted me to you don’t reinvent yourself because you finally got me the way you wanted me and it’s the same thing with us I hear sisters they complain Dr Umar my husband getting off fat his jeans is getting tight when I met him he was swagalicious in the gym ran ball now he fat gut beers every day tight je brother why did you stop being who you was when she met you just how you got her you can lose her get yourself back together again that’s very important and for my marijuana brothers who love smoking that slows down your body’s ability to respond when your woman is ready to to get pleasure you know marijuana TC it slows down all your uh motor function so if you are a weed head it’s gonna be hard for you to get it up when she ready for something that shano stick so my weed head brothers please be careful because a lot of you marijuana addicts cannot perform in the bedroom and I’m telling you right now if your woman is on fire and you cannot perform she gonna go get her one of them 25 year old Corner boys and you know what Mike Mike gonna do to that ass he gonna tear up home with the mac and cheese he don’t even want the mac and cheese he just want the do for free do for free shout out to the members man shout out to the n Shout out to rashita Conley she says Dr Umar I haven’t heard your thoughts on women without children dating or marrying men with children how do women navigate that in the black family because I literally heard a woman I just spoke to a young lady yesterday she said t ain’t no way in hell I don’t care I’m not dating no man with kids no matter what there you go again there she go again unnecessarily cutting down and already dismally small pool of available men I hear men say it ain’t just women to me first of all it’s selfish let’s just be a woman who won’t date a man with children is selfish a man who won’t date a woman with children is selfish children belong to the community how dare you say you don’t want to date somebody with children I think it’s selfish that’s number one number two why doesn’t she have a child or is she planning to have one with this man who has children because I’m telling you right now there is nothing more unhealthy than for a black woman to not give birth to a child if God gave her the ability to do so really some of the meanest nastiest women I’ve ever met in my life were without child wow do you hear what I’m telling you oh yes I remember I used to work in an office with all black female psychologists I was the only male they were mean they were nasty the minute she got married she turned into the sweetest person the minute she had a child she became the nicest they changed overnight cuz black women are meant to have birth under the right circumstances with the right person but if a woman is in her 40s and she ain’t had a child yet I’m wondering why now some sisters are healthy that just not doing it because they waiting for the right person but you can’t keep on waiting listen I have two daughters what if wait what if a woman says I don’t want to have kids like she just makes her mind up she said oh no children period even even if she get married even if I get Mar I don’t want no kids what do you assume of that woman I’m assuming there’s some trauma where were you the oldest and were always made to take care of your siblings cuz you know when you are parentified too early that eats away at your desire to have your own children because you had to be mom and dad to your little brothers and little sisters and so a lot of times the oldest kid you know don’t have children because they were parentified to they already raised kids they already raised kids so but there’s a trauma there there’s a trauma there ain’t no such thing as a black woman who don’t want kids and there ain’t no trauma there uhuh there’s always a trauma there black woman is the mother of uhuh there’s a if a woman tell you I don’t want no kids now if she’s in her 20s I don’t pay it no M we all say that when we 20 because we selfish we want our money but she 30 and 40 saying I don’t want no kids there’s a trauma there damn that’s wild right there interesting well we got some other ones in there and guys listen we ain’t gonna have Dr Umar Johnson all night so get these chats in get these super chats in so we can go ahead have it in here and I got to deal with the cheating piece let me deal with this cheating piece okay black women black women black women black women if my daughter comes to me and say Daddy Baba my husband cheated on me I’mma say princess give me a hug sit down I need to talk to you is he a good provider yes does he take good care of you yes does he ever disrespect you raise his hand to you no outside of is cheating is he pretty much what you need in a man yes he is what do we know about this woman was this thing purely sexual was it a hit and miss is it a work romance or is he really feeling this woman if she tells me this was a hit and miss I’mma tell her go have a conversation with him about his infidelity let him know you do not like it but there’s two things I want you to think about I will never tell you not to leave a man because he cheated I would never tell you that if you want to leave him because he cheated go ahead and do it but I want to ask you a question how many men you expect to find out there who are never going to go outside that marriage at least occasionally to experience another woman I’m not saying it’s right I’m saying it’s not realistic to leave a good man for an oops now let me tell you when you better leave them I’mma tell you when you better pack your I’mma come packet if you if you find out the other woman is more important than you now if you find out he has removed you from the throne and put another woman on the throne and now you number two when you was always number one you got to leave there’s no greater disrespect a man pays to his woman than to put another woman in her place when a man man replaces a woman she need to leave because that is a sign that you are no longer what you were to him and if you hang around too long you will see your rank drop again and again and again till you don’t even matter no more yeah you in trouble at that point so you better leave when you ain’t number one no more but if you still number one and you know you number one have a conversation princess but I don’t think you kick him to the curb for this first of all I love the analogy of talking to your daughter because man I’ve never heard nobody break it down like that but that’s exactly the thought process you should have in considering and making such a big decision now your son comes to you Pops she cheated on me what does he consider in his decision making it’s going to be different for what I said earlier if your woman spread her legs for another man that’s rarely just sex unless you can’t please her in the bedroom now if he tells me Dad I’m having troubles pleasing my wife in the bedroom that’s a different issue then the question becomes did she ask you to get help did y’all ever go to a sex therapist and try to work on this situation is there something that happened in your childhood that I need to know about you feel me but if it ain’t that if it ain’t that you’re a woman and assuming she’s not a promiscuous woman you ain’t marry No Hoe that’s she a hoe that’s different that’s what they do they pop coochie right you got you a real woman you got a real woman who loves you and she spread her legs for another man she got a connection with him you got to have a deep conversation with her and find out is he her new number one and are you the legal husband now the side piece insane she would she actually be able to give you that in conversation believe it or not a lot of women would wow they gonna tell you straight up you know why because they’re so frustrated at having given us warning after warning and ple after plea to get this together and a lot of them can’t wait to tell you to your face yes because I gave you a chance to handle this and you wouldn’t if a woman loves you sleep with another man she feels some type of way about it she may not have replaced you yet but if you want to you better get it back and get it back quick cuz a good woman don’t spread their legs easy not when they love with a man they don’t do it now yeah they do Revenge sex Revenge sex doesn’t have to be anything meaningful you know if it’s just revenge sex but if it ain’t revenge sex and she’s really cheating because she cheating there’s something more to that situation I want to ask that question for the ladies this gonna be and see and see here’s the thing about the poll it’s Anonymous Ladi so y’all need to keep it all the way 1,00 because I want to understand why women cheat okay because we gave a couple reasons right there we talked about about the bad sex we talked about um Revenge sex and we’ll put a third one in there just boor just put a board with your relationship so is that the PO why do women cheat is that the what’s the poll I want to know what are the reasons they go outside or they’re willing to have sex with another man in a relationship I just summed it up as to white women cheat and why they polling I want to say this to black women men too but especially women because we’re more likely to tell a woman the truth about their sexual performance women don’t like to tell men because they don’t want to emasculate us black women sex isn’t the only thing but it’s important if your man cannot please you you need to let him know now if he don’t have sufficient size you might got to get another man I mean because you can’t rep there’s nothing you could do about size if he ain’t if he ain’t got enough but is that a is that really the reason and she shouldn’t even stay with me stay with me stay with me it depend because every woman May different if you got you a six foot six sister you got to have a pipe that can lay her down you understand SL you can’t come to Queen Latifa with no Tic Tac right right so I’m saying if the man is not the right size she might got to consider another man I don’t even think they get that far if he wasn’t the right size so we could that said I don’t think they get that far if he wasn’t the right side that’s a fact now if he can’t perform she needs to tell him that so he can work on it there’s nothing worse for a woman’s future Sexual Health than to fake a orgasm when you’re not even being pleased and I’ve had women tell me they are faking orgasms when they’re not even being pleased why you got this man thinking he raising you through the roof and he barely raising your temperature you got to talk to him too many women are doing that and they’re going unfed unpleased and it and it’s not good let him know that you need to do things differently see this my thing you know most I would actually say they I think the statistics say that most women actually don’t orgasm or just generally aren’t pleased sexually in their relationships now the reality of it is should sex somebody that’s trauma too because if you emotionally preoccupied your mind isn’t free enough to orgasm sometimes it’s not your fault I’ve had men say Dr Umar my wife love the sex she cannot orgasm unconsciously your wife is preoccupied with issues it may have nothing to do with you it could be her relationship with her father it could be her relationship with her sister but she has in order for a woman they’re not like us us is is we can be purely physical a woman’s mind has to be in the moment this is why depressed women can orgasm anxious women can orgasm bipolar borderline women can orgasm because women who suffer from intrusive thinking constantly thinking neuroticism they can’t organ they can’t orgasm because they can never live in the moment and they can never stop thinking about things outside of the bedroom at that moment a psychologically unhealthy woman is going to have a very hard time orgasm you know what I think you could it’s probably the same for for brothers too when you think about the thoughts a brother not in his mind not present in the moment with that woman thinking about the because I I’ll tell you this personally when my money not right and when I’m not where I want to be in life I’m not thinking about no sex I feel you I’m with the SC I’m with you I’m not even you know so that makes a lot of sense I’m with you that ladies in that situation with they mind occupied in that way they’ll have those same issues right you just dropped this poll tell them about this poll we just dropped so look I just dropped this poll it is uh let me check it out real quick where we at hold on hold on why why did you cheat in your relationship so I got four options for this I got bad sex I got boredom slf out of love I got money problems and I got needs weren’t satisfied that’s like a little cop out they gonna put right there I want to say I’m I’m ready to see this one we already got 235 votes on this one what do border mean too by the way like f f you just I mean the relationship is just Wag the person is just kind of doing the same old things no no cologne or you know no swag what’s the deal see for me cheating for money problems that’s poor character because you know black men struggle economically to cheat because he ain’t bringing home enough money why were you with him at all I got a little bit of a problem with the money unless he if he wasting all the money that’s different but if you saying he’s not bringing home enough money and you cheated on them oh I can’t Ah that’s that’s poor character for me so you you know the economic issue that we having obviously has affected our relationship the whole 50-50 conversation is all just a m just pretty much us communicating the economic issues that we have in our relationships and we don’t know how to manage finances or even manage expectations from one another true that’s why you bring up even polygyny when you create it as an economic uh you know option for us to be able to pull finances but if you can imagine if a woman is talking about already having a hard enough idea uh being with a brother that’s trying to split it 50-50 you damn sure better believe she ain’t about to share the brother and go 33 33 33 you damn sure believe that’s not gonna happen because of you know the mindset that we have is this a is this a poor mindset even when you hear that conversation is that a reflection of a dangerous mindset we have as it relates to relationships or is it true that a man’s job should be at the highest levels to you know take remove all financial burden from his woman in a perfect world yes but black men live in a world that’s far less than perfect in our sisters have to understand that and nothing unnerves me more than when black women complain about black men who cannot provide them with the level of material Comforts that they want I don’t know if y’all remember a couple months ago the sisters was going off because the brother took them to the Cheesecake Factory absolutely what’s wrong with The Cheesecake Factory I like the Cheesecake Factory but for her that was too cheap and to that you know what I would say a woman that under appreciative don’t deserve to have a man you don’t deserve to have a man it is a struggle out here for black men we got to put up with racist white men you feel me you got to put up with less pay even when you got more credentials black men go through hell you often have to suffer emasculation at the hands of white people only to come home and have a woman tell you I don’t want to go eat at the Cheesecake Factory or I don’t want a Honda a cord are you you kidding me like I’m supposed to basically kill myself because you want to imitate the lifestyle of white high society first of all most white women ain’t even living like that right most white women aren’t even living like that so you asking me to provide you with a lifestyle that most white women don’t even have so if her privileged white husband can’t even give her that house in that car what makes you think I should be able to do it as well I just believe we wasting a lot of money as black men that could be better spent on the community trying to satisfy selfish black women with expensive materialistic gifts that’s my opinion it’s ratchet see it’s all ratchet have a nice life go find you another brother who going to do all that for you I’m not and that’s a fact where we at on that poll let’s see if the money problem let me check it out and and listen I had a couple people drop in the chat that I REM I missed the revenge sex option which I did so if revenge sex is your reason go ahead and feel free to throw that in the chat right now nobody will will shame you for that won sh try Hest reason I tell you a condition that a lot of women cheat under because I’ve had a lot of women tell me what’s that revenge sex on a man who sex wasn’t oh she’s getting some dick you couldn’t please her and you cheated on her oh she’s getting some oh wow she’s gonna go right to big harry oh she’s getting some you had a nerve to cheat on me and you don’t even please me it’s a rap it’s a rap she gone okay so because as far as she concerned she been practicing patience the whole relationship you see what I’m saying and you had the audacity to cheat on me and you can’t even please me she G she like I wish your ass she going to be at the Bobby Brown concert the Tyrese concert Usher concert Maxwell oh you should have never done that you ain’t even got good sex and you going to cheat oh she’s getting you back so I got look why did you cheat in your relationship we got 61% of people say needs weren’t satisfied I thought that would be yeah it’s the catch all it’s the catch all it’s the safest one it’s the safest one but but but but you know what the biggest need and we talked attention that is attention men not investing time we underestimate how important time is for a woman and guess what it’s a good way to study the woman because if you got a woman who don’t want you invest in time you know she only there for your change a woman who don’t want to see you is a woman who’s only there for your pocket that’s you know what yes matter of fact ladies put your number one need in the chat right now if you put that in there I want to see your need in the chat if you’re watching a replay put your need in the comment that was not satisfied and that’s a really good that’s a great point because you want your woman want wanting you you know trying to pull you from work and he’s spending time with you a woman that’s way too accommodating that’s okay with you not being around with her that’s not that’s okay with you not spending time that’s an issue because it’s the push and pull that makes it fun that keeps it exciting absolutely absolutely and the biggest and the man who stands to gain the most from another black man who doesn’t spend sufficient time with his woman is is a coworker more than half of all black women cheat with the co-workers the work husband the work husband because remember they put him 40 hours oh yeah they with him 40 hours so you mean to tell me she with him 40 hours a week and she don’t even get four with you he gonna get the cookies that’s why that’s why even sometimes it’s the guy’s friend because proximity Is has a lot to do with cheating yeah she not trying to go she not trying to go too far who whoever is close man so the man is close is but that’s ratchet though that is ratchet yeah that get your life took in these streets absolutely it’s scary out here very scary that get you now I tell you this I’ve had the exes of some of my friends try to approach me for some of them I knew it was revenge sex for others I think they just genuinely wanted a better man and they felt I was that right but I never did it I always shut him down but I never told my brothers you feel me because I didn’t know if that would affect our relationship Absolut you see what I’m saying so I shut it down and out of respect for her I never took it to him because it never went nowhere but women can be scandalous oh yeah because I’m like you can’t come to me that’s my Ace you see what I’m saying scandalous they got no problem women can be scandalous and they know how to cheat better than us see we get caught because we don’t want to hide anyway that’s the narcissism you feel me that what I got to hide for I’m the Man women they play that whole role they know when to cheat how to cheat they know how to do it but ladies I need my older sisters to hear me now if you over 35 especially over 40 Loosey gooes you can’t be out there cheating and come home with a Loosey Goosey your husband going to know and there’s nothing more unattractive than a woman with no walls so Slayer no no that’s a fact let me ask let me ask you this Dr Omar CU Slayer I I want to notice about you because you as far as your journey you you obviously are living a purpose you know a purpose Le life and do you feel a woman would help you personally be more productive get further farther faster in your life or would it be something that could potentially slow you down from accomplishing the mission that’s a great question that’s a very without a doubt I would have gotten I would probably have three schools up and running by now if I had a wife who I got to see daily wow uh there were women I’ve dated before I blew up right I blew up in 2010 Chicago and New York if I knew that my life was going to change on September the 18th and October 30th of 2010 I would have probably married Kim or Sabrina or Andrea or Tamila or Wendy those were five women who could have ended up being my wife and had I knew that my life would change the way it did I think one of them would probably be my wife right now you feel me but I didn’t know what was coming in the fear that I have now is I don’t know what women I could trust right because of who I am some women want to date you just to try to expose you you know some women are so hate filled with black men if they don’t get their way they hit you with a Jonathan major or worse you know so now you’re walking on eggshells you know but once I find that woman woman to one whichever it is it won’t be more than that I know I I’ll get a whole lot more done but the challenges I’ve had to now like you might say Doc what why not why why you ain’t married number one I travel too much women want their time I ain’t got a lot of it so if you needy or thirsty or if you’re just a regular woman who want a regular life Dr um ain’t the husband you need to be looking for so that’s number one I travel number two because I’m a therapist I attract damaged women wow I because I’m a therapist they feel the Healer in me so I tend to not everybody I trct is damaged right but I attract damaged women because they want their healer in me but they fail to realize though with the work that I do for the people when I come home I need you to heal me you need a Healer if I gotta come home and heal you too I’m being drin now you’re a spiritual vampire another issue I’ve had with sisters I’ve dated their insecurity around other women as you know most of our kids are raised by their mothers right so if I’m doing seminar women are definitely there in abundance I need you not to get a attitude cuz she hugged me a little tight I’ll never see her again you see what I’m saying AB I need you not to feel some type of way because you see a little glisten in her eyes it’s just a lecture you understand that’s like Usher’s wife tripping because he on stage singing to that’s part of the show that’s what he do I serve children so I Gotta Serve the mother if you’re going to be insecure over every woman in every city you can’t be my wife wife an insecure woman could get nowhere with me because there’s always going to be women around insecurity has been a big problem so what does a what does a Confident Woman look like she don’t sweat nothing she’s always laidback she sees it she smiles at it and she keeps on moving you see um but those I would say those would be the big and I got to give you the last one the Loosey Goosey because I travel so much I don’t get to see my lady friends often if you don’t get to see your lady friend often you know exactly what kind of condition they supposed to be in there’s nothing like being into a woman like digging them and they hit you with a luy Goosey Slayer and I’m not mad because you stepped out I’m no dummy if I’m going for six months I don’t think he was meditating that whole time but my thing is you knew you was going to see me this day why you ain’t get yourself back together that’s why I’m in a hit the vinegar or nothing right no respect you ain’t take a nice rose petal bath with some frankincense and some whoo juice and get you know what I mean right you came to me like that that’s what bothers you know and then the last one there’s a lot of good black women out here I meet them all the time and so narrowing that down is difficult and sometimes I don’t know if I use the work as a distraction or am I just genuinely distracted but with all that said I do have a friend a very good friend and I think she might be one of the two I think she might so we working on it we working on it okay but spiritually spiritually I was told by the priest babala priest of eii you’re a tradition out of Nigeria I was told through divination that I won’t find my wife till the school is up and running wow he said the school gotta come first and then the wife that’s exactly what he said one of my biggest fears is that I would end up in a situation that you’re in right now where I’ve achieved so much success where I then become so cynical you know in where every woman whether she my wife or not I just can’t trust her and but and and you got to fight against that though but but see I know myself that’s a that’s that’s a lonely position to be in it’s a very lonely that’s why I’m asking you this because I I I understand first of all I know I need a Healer with what I’m doing okay I expect that from my woman listen it’s some we about to Grub after this okay yes sir the women in my life about to heal you you feel what I’m saying so the thing about it is I can imagine with your work you know what you need and just in general us as men we as a culture we’re getting married later we pushing it back I think now they saying it’s 30 the average age now that four average age four marriage oh it’s getting older for all Americans and see but especially us everybody marrying later even white folks wow yeah everybody marrying later but I don’t know but is is that is that healthy is that for me it would be I’m going tell you why a 45y old woman hypothetically a 45 year old woman then been through the she done already had a coochie scratched every which way it can be she didn’t already raised their kids and at this point in her life she knows exactly what she want you feel me the problem with getting married older is her biological clock might have expired it can work for men it can’t work for women we can have babies until we oldow women cannot so does it work for us yes does it work for the community no because our sisters need to be having baby sooner than that that’s the problem yeah works for us it don’t work don’t get me wrong sisters do well with an older husband too but for sisters who want to give birth within wedlock that’s the issue birth within wedlock marriage gotta come sooner it got to and the and and and and and and you know somebody asked me about arranged marriage arranged marriage what I think about arranged marriage I’m not against it if the people being arranged are virgins once you have committed the sin of uh premarital sex what do we call it the word for sex without marriage not adultery but fornication fornication once you have fornicated multiple times you have now developed preferences you know how good oral sex can be you know how fat the butt can be you know how good the same thing with the woman size and Tech the problem with premarital sex this is why God never in wanted for us to have sex outside of marriage because once you’ve experienced things that you should have only experienced within wedlock you develop preferences so when you meet a really good woman she’s everything you need but she can’t turn it up in the bedroom like that freak can you may pass up on your soulmate CZ she can’t please you like the freak and a lot of people have lost out on good relationships because they didn’t come with freak of the weak talent and that’s why with plural marriage if we decided to start marrying our children before full sex it could be a good thing if you got healthy parents making a decision because gu what if my daddy choose my wife she’s the only woman I ever felt taste you understand you always going to be content because you ain’t had nothing else but if you’ve been with five or six Freaks and dad say I got a wife for you you like Dad you got a problem wait a minute I gotta test them out first right and too often people are letting sex be the determinant and we shouldn’t be I’ve had women sisters to admit it Dr Umar I should have married him but he couldn’t turn it up in the bedroom and I went with my first love and it was the worst decision that I made we given sex too much room and I believe one of the reasons sex is taking up too much space when it comes to choosing our lifemate is we are not spiritually grounded you’re over relying on pleasure if your relationship with Supreme Consciousness was where it needed to be pleasure would not be so prominent in your life but because you don’t have that relationship with God that you need pleasure is carrying too much weight and that’s a big problem with a lot of us wow wow you pleasure seeking pleasure seeking looking for love in all the wrong places pleasure seeking man first of all man Dr Omar is in the building yes yes he in the building and first of all if y’all are feeling what y’all hearing right now if y’all enjoying the show I want y’all to just drop a flame right now drop the flame in the chat in the comments right now how have you seen this if you enjoying what’s happening right now we had a Super Chat come in shout out to Gloria Nicole Johnson she says can we please talk about not dating until we know our purpose when we know our purpose we know who fits in our future and and I’mma add something to that because you mentioned that you shouldn’t be dating if you self low self-esteem if you got low self-esteem you should only date people with low self-esteem because you don’t think nobody want you and they don’t think nobody want but I mean it’s a self-esteem crisis you know so that’s a lot of people that should not be dating but people with low self-esteem are not attracted to people with they attracted to people with high self-esteem that’s exactly what they attracted to which means they end up getting exploited abused betrayed and dogged out and those are the four main traumas of post-traumatic relationship disorder and then you have baby mama trauma baby mama drama baby daddy drama and I’m G tell you something else we better deal with if we want to save the black family we’re gonna have to come together and create our own child support and custody system because The White Man’s family court is destroying the trust that black men and black women have for each other more than almost anything else you can think of when I go to the high schools the colleges you know what the young brother say Dr I’m not getting married why my mama put my daddy on child support and he had to move in with his mama in order to pay child support for me and my siblings I’m hearing a whole generation of young black males I’m not getting married because ain’t no woman putting me on child support or taking half of what I got this child support child custody situation has gotten so bad that it’s influence inuencing our sons to not seek a relationship with our daughters we got to get it under control and I think one of the best things we can do to get the child support and custody system under control is create councils of Elders in all of our cities so if she feel I’m not giving her enough money for the baby take it to the elders if I feel she not let me spend enough time on my daughter take it to the elders That’s How African culture work we don’t have no organization we ain’t got no Elder councel so everybody run into the White and the white man ain’t doing nothing but exploiting the hatred we got for each other towards the destruction of the black family child support and custody court is playing a big role in this and you got women ladies y have to stop using Family Court as a weapon to destroy a man because he don’t want you and black men we got to practice more sexual discipline the we have to practice more sexual discipline we giv women babies who we don’t want which is is causing nothing but pain and hurt and she carries that baggage with her into the next relationship so now you spoiling the next man’s life because you didn’t treat his woman right when you had her we got to do better and that’s a fact let’s man let’s let’s close out with these last few super chats if you ain’t get your super chats in you about to miss out on this opportunity to kick it here with Dr Umar Johnson that’s currently in the studio and the ladies ladies ladies I know yall have to project this idea of sexual discipline but we’ll never fix none of our problems if we don’t have candid conversations and I’m seeing several comments here about not having no sex until you get married yet that’s not realistic you know uh I rather be alone than share my man that’s not realistic we got to be honest if y’all just want to keep projecting holy ier than thou energy will never get these problems solved y’all be honest about how you feel half of all married people cheat especially the ones who go to church so cut it out they ain’t safe for the church yes yo bring on bring on one more let’s finish out with she been in there Wai you said Tanya been in there waiting yeah all right well look Tanya you have been summoned you about to come a h initi get that mic right Tanya get your mic right Tanya what’s up with you sweetheart hi can y’all hear me we can hear you perfectly I love that excitement if you can give us go ahead and start here with your age your location and your question all right my name is Tanya I am 49 and I’m in South Carolina um I have four daughters I’ve been Mar I was married for 21 years I’ve been divorced for about seven years um and I’m not interested because I think I’m doing what Dr Umar Johnson says is giving off that don’t talk to me energy um but anyway I’m not interested in my relationship I’m more interested in my daughters so my girls are about to be 29 27 uh 21 22 and 20 I want to be able to um because their dad is kind of whatever that relationship is what it is but um I’m encouraging that relationship with their father but I can’t really do anything so how are we as parents able to mimic good relationships but also how are we able to help our daughters um when there’s an absence of um good male role models um to be able to give the knowledge that they need to be able to put themselves out there in a healthy manner to be able to get a relationship marry have children and give back to the black community great Point um first of all and I’m sure you’re already you know doing this never speak negative about their dad I’m sure you don’t encourage them to spend time with their father because whether they like it or not they need that you feel me yeah as I said earlier daughter needs a love affair with daddy so she can have a a healthy one with a man later on in life she they don’t even know why they need it but you know why they need it I would also recommend I don’t know if this is possible even though you and her father and their father is no longer together can y’all do some family activities with him you and him and them not that y’all getting back together but I would love for your girls to see that Mom and Dad can still care about each other and treat each other with respect although they are divorced that would work miracles for them because you know what that would show them even if we don’t make it we can still be friends because we have too many relationship ship in the black community that when they’re over we almost feel like everything got to be toxic you know we have this energy that if the relationship is over it got to be toxic why do we have to separate with negative energy why can’t we just come to the conclusion that we outgrew each other but we can still care about each other we have to stop the toxicity but I would love to see you do some things with him in the presence of your daughters I agree I appreciate that and can I ask you one more thing can you elaborate on that because one question I did ask him when we did have a moment of uh common sense and we were able to talk was um how is it that men are so easily able to move into a new relationship with another woman and choose to as as hard as that can be sometimes and choose not to work on their relationship with their children that especially when I’m I’m I am I’m different I don’t I really don’t like Child Support I’m kind of a legal politician type person so I kind of understand how laws work so I don’t like child support I never put him on child support all I asked is that he would have a relationship with these kids and so to me in society it seemed like and it could be other cultures but black men are easily to move on once the relationship is over and start relationships with new women and not put the effort into the relationship with their children currently yes ma’am great question and I’mma give you three reasons why one of them we hit on earlier relationships function as a drug in the black community we use them to distract us from our personal problems that we do not want to face and address that’s number one wow number two a lot of black men are constantly looking for a mommy who will care for them maybe not financially but emotionally and not hold them accountable for the things they do wrong if I had to guess I would say the reason he moved on so quickly is he suffers from that empty bedroom syndrome where I need a woman to distract me from me so I never have to address my underlying issues she is a distraction that’s why he’s with her doesn’t mean he don’t care doesn’t mean she’s not a good woman doesn’t mean they don’t have a half decent relationship but moving into a new situation and you haven’t rectified the previous one you’re running away from your responsibilities T up here ask great questions t Okay absolutely thank you i’ be blessed she was patient too Tanya held held it down an hour at least two hours she did hold it down you went ahead you closed out your Poe you closed out the chats yeah yeah we good we good but here’s what I want to talk about because we got to let the people um we we got to give the people an update and also get you

yes we have two final inspections we need a l building inspection to get our certificate of occupancy and we need the fire department inspection the reason we haven’t had them yet is because we have
