The relationship between men and women are generally classified in terms of sexual violence based on physical attributes. How often lost is the dynamic the truly platonic relationship between a man and a woman.
Relations between men and women, black, black is often classified by the stereotypes of society with the black man who passes through these women violent and arrogant and demanding black and cold. Both descriptions are far from the truth that lies at the heart men Black Black and multifaceted women, who always hide their emotions under the assault of the ever-present discriminatory society, and stresses on them.
For black men, in particular, these attacks have caused extensive damage to their growth and development than men, husbands and fathers, and equally important, as friends. There is a crisis in relation with black men and relationships that must be addressed.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, Overall cardiovascular diseases is higher among black men - about 41 percent - compared to 34 percent among white men. Moreover, similar CDC studies show that men and women black black are twice as likely as whites to have a stroke and black men 60 percent more likely to die of a stroke.
These statistics are paired with men of high unemployment impact of Black and relationships, in particular, and the discontent that adds to your stress and its impact on social interactions. With the rising divorce rate and increasing number of problems that black men are not "dead beat parents face to obtain custody or visitation with their children, it is surprising that the black man and relationships are endangered. It is surprising that the black man can have any kind of positive and productive relationship, especially with women.
However, the black man and the relations are not a lost cause. Black men can have sex with black women that do not involve court battles, fights custody or control problems in general. This is called friendship and, sometimes, is this link that takes you through all the dramas and traumas in their lives and provides the oasis of reducing the stress of life.
I was taught that if you have at least one good friend, you are blessed. I was very happy to say that all my life, but a good friend who has a right to my left, he was my brother, my sounding board and one of my great animators and support systems and, equally important, it was it. So I know that is a positive relationship with black men and black relationships a woman can have a truly platonic relationship with a black man, because that's what we had with the brother of my "big" and the best friend anyone could have, Mark R. Griffith.
Unfortunately, Mark's life was abruptly in December 2008 due to cardiac arrest basic restriction of hypertensive condition. However, life is full of those of us around the forty-eight, it was here.
My mother, Emma Mereday Waters, who was another son and a part of our family. He believed in people and living life to the fullest. As award-winning journalist television, not only helped bring the message to the community, which has inspired many messengers you see and read today. We laughed, we cried and could only sit and talk. He always speaks in the royal "we" when we eat things hanging from event management and conferences in journalism, always has been "we will," or "just cope with it and have supported each other when the chips are down.
No idea was too wild for Mark and he was always ready to say: "When do we start?" Ironically, the latest "big idea" that "we" involved initiated a project to address health issues affecting blacks in the media. It was always M & M Productions. Now, I keep his memory and his friendship, and encourage black men First, take care of their health and, secondly, take care of all your relationships. Black men and relationships must start with friendships everything!
