I had forgot to finish what I was saying b4. But yeah, I think the church getting involved in marriage & making it a sacrament is positive. It gave it a more ideal importance by essentially labeling it a "gift."The first law that needs to be revamped is a Woman's Right To Choose. Women should have all rights to their own bodies, and then should be paid EQUAL to Male counterparts. Women should also be equally represented through law, and then having a voice in how the country is governed EQUALLY, then never taking a back seat to men on any level. Until that happens, Men will always face problems in regard to relationships and marriage with women, especially those of us that are descendants of slaves in this country.
The laws regarding marriage and human rights in this country, has never been in our favor. If we approach relationships and marriage in the same fashion the White people do, expecting the same result, then we are doomed to fail. Black women are far more successful than Black men in this country, then are the most educated group of PEOPLE in this country as well. So why should she take a back seat to Black men, who are the most incarcerated people in this country? It does not make sense for a man that has had no success, to try and rule over a woman that has earned her respect through education and then life, then to simply take a back seat to a man, a Black man, that is more likely to be locked up, not finishing school, simply because he is a man?
Now throw Christianity in the mix, of which confuses all sorts of stuff, enforcing a sense of entitlement in men.
Women do not owe men anything. Men owe women EVERYTHING.
In the Black community, this is a fact. Without Black women, we'd have nary a pot to pee in.
