Even the Strongest Black Man Is Still a Momma’s Boy

Black men take charge. Black men tell it like it is. Black men are powerful. But when momma calls, that Black man will always be her little boy. The type of love and respect that most Black men have for their mothers is not only charming and sweet but it tells a lifelong story – a story of a young boy who grew up in the care of a woman he loved, cherished and vowed to protect. That lets women know that you understand why a woman deserves to be treated like a queen.

Why Not Share a Future with Someone Who Shares Your Past

There are those who may sympathize with Black women about their past, but the ones who will truly understand are the ones who are coming from that same history. Blacks have a unique history and a powerful culture that has evolved from it. Black people have grown to be resilient and strong, intelligent and wise, compassionate and understanding – and it’s because of the brutal realities that their ancestors were forced to face. On that same token, a history rooted in slavery and impacted by racism has had a countless number of negative effects on Black communities and Black people across the globe. When it comes to raising a Black child, pursuing certain careers and even trying to purchase a home – Black people have to abide by a different set of rules and push even harder than their white counterparts. Having a partner who truly understands this and will walk along that same rocky path is just one more thing that can help make the journey a little easier.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
