Black Culture Matters

Cheating is listed as the number one reasons for the failure of black relationships.  What are some of the reasons that men cheat in their relationships?  Are women cheating as much as men?  What are each getting out of the affair that they aren't receiving from their partner?  What are the other factors that drive a woman to want to leave a relationship?  Let's have the discussion and hear both the male and female perspective on the popular trope (when a woman's fed up).

TwistedToxic Reality joins Black Culture Matters to discuss what it actually means when a Black woman says that she's a "Queen". Most self proclaimed "Queens" do not fit the text book definition of the noun Queen.... now the verb "Queening" that seems to be much more appropriate.

Why is being a single black parent selfish?  

"children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison." - Politifact  

Why then are men and women choosing to engage in sexual relations that often times result in children without the benefit of first having established a solid relationship and/or marriage?   

Being a Single Black Parent is SELFISH......and its YOUR FAULT!!

What exactly is social media used for?  Is it to keep in contact with old friends, or to share photos of your loved ones?  Its more like a place where an uncomfortable majority of the people who engage in it find endless ways to miscommunicate, argue, fight and block one another.  Is social media toxic to black relationships?  Let's talk about it.

"A real womans weakness is her kids and being broke.  NOT A N-word!  Read it again". Does this type of messaging from women foster positive or negative relationships with men?

Men and women are more divided than ever and Black women are wholeheartedly contributing to this division.  Having traditional expectations of men while wanting to be non-traditional women is why men are opting out of marriage.....to black women at an alarming rate.  Black women are less likely to marry, and have higher rates of marital instability because of their attitudes, weight, checkered past, and stubborn nature.  Will we survive the "modern" woman?  

"Black Democrats are chumps.....political chumps" exclaimed Malcolm X in his now famous 'Ballot or the Bullet" speech delivered before an all black crowd in Cleveland, Ohio on April 3rd, 1964.

If you don't believe that Blacks today are still political chumps than all you have to do is take an objective look at the reporting of the Breaonna Taylor case by the left leaning media.  Liberal media, and liberal politicians have figured out that the way to control the black vote is to continue to perpetuate the narrative that Black people continue to be the victim of racism in 2020; but was Breaonna Taylors death the really the result of racism/police brutality? 

In 1965 MLK dreamed that one day his four kids would live in a nation where they would not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.  Unfortunately for Dr. King, some 50+ years later, the people whom he wished would be judged as individuals, now judge others as a monolithic group.  Has the dream been forgotten?

Behaviors and or beliefs that occur only after experience or practice (repetition).  We've learned that slavery still impacts us today.  We've learned that systemic racism holds us back today.  We've learned that white supremacy is a threat to us today.......but learned behavior can be changed IF THE CONDITIONS CHANGE!  Time for a new discussion.

The idea that 'absent discrimination equal outcomes will prevail for African Americans' has been refuted time and time again throughout history.  Slavery, an institution which was dismantled 155 years ago, has remained the crutch upon which the aforementioned lie continues to exist.  Systemic racism, discrimination and the like are no longer barriers to success for African Americans as we have been granted equal access to opportunities, which is all we need!
