Boys Don’t Cry!
Hey guys! Man, I was supposed to have this post for y’all on Wednesday, but as always, life has been getting in the way; HOWEVER, at least I’m trying to be consistent. As I said in one of my previous posts, I was going to be highlighting a lot of things within the black community that I feel don’t get talked about as much as they should.
As women, we’re always told we’re too emotional and yet we’re treated delicately like that of flower by our mommy and daddy, but what about our little black boys? Boys are taught at a young age that they’re not supposed to cry, that they can’t be emotional. My question is: Do you think black fathers deprive their sons of affection? I posted this question on Facebook as well as my blog’s Instagram page and I got some pretty good comments. What really impressed me the most is the comments I got from the guys!
Per usual, y’all know I got pictures:
Now of course, I know you’re all wondering, “Well Bee, what do you think about all of this?” First of all…..can I even answer this question? I don’t have a son nor do I have kids for that matter, but I have a daddy and a brother. I’ve never seen my brother cry, but I have seen my dad cry. To me, a man showing emotion of any kind is beautiful, but to see a man cry, to me, means he’s passionate, that he actually has an emotional side. I feel that it’s important that black fathers show their little black sons affection and that it’s okay to wear your heart on your sleeve. Now of course, no woman wants a crybaby for a husband, but if their little black boy isn’t shown affection, how is he supposed to give it as a grown man?
