A Response To Slim Thug!

While I am by no means a relationship expert, I need to speak on Slim Thug’s way of thinking…

Dear Mr. Thug…. Or Slim (if you will),

I am happy to see that your music career is breathing life again and I wish you much success however, your thoughts on relationship and women, need some re-evaluation. 

“Most single Black women feel like they don’t want to settle for less. Their standards are too high right now. They have to understand that successful Black men are kind of extinct. We’re important”.

First and foremost, telling a black woman, or any woman for that matter, that she needs to lower her standards is just ridiculous.  A woman has the right to choose what kind of man she WANTS to be with whether he is smart, dumb, rich, broke… It is her choice.  If I have a Degree and a 6 figure job and want a man that has the same, you damn right I’m gonna pass you by if you don’t have it.  Why?? because it’s my choice.  Perhaps you meant to say that women have to take into account that sometimes you can’t get everything you may “want” in a man and sometimes a compromise within oneself is necessary for happiness.  That doesn’t mean she should settle for whatever plops on her doorstep.  If that’s what you meant, I can agree with that.  But telling me that I need to settle in order to find a black man… you’re bugging.
