My son is like this. People are constantly saying he is hard to please or bougie. He just knows to get what he wants he has to ask for it lol. People have even called him ungrateful because he doesn't accept just anything. Like if there's only food he doesn't like at a family function he will wait till he gets home to eat. Which I have zero problems with. Meanwhile My sister-in-law LOVES to brag about how her daughter is a rider because she takes whatever she is given even if it's scraps. That's great that she's grateful but it's the accepting ANYTHING to make her parents happy that bothers me. It can lead to a life of accepting scraps because for love. Anyways Moral of the story closed mouths don't get fed.

Does he have makeup on?

Wifeeee!? Okay!! I need to catchup!

They all seem intimidated by her, their body language says closed off. From the folded arms to the droopy shoulders, back to the crossed legs. They way they answer her, she shrinks men. Is this an aggressive black mother thing!?! I’m very intrigued by this dynamic and am now gonna pay attention to black men’s response to a dominate “alpha” “masculine” woman. 🤔 She was not listening to what they were saying. She was trying to explain herself more than take their perspectives.

touched on some crucial things in this episode bro shit is hella timely, love what yah doin, keep goin ! peace n love !

I am a single mom raising a black boy. Why don't you come up with a mentorship coaching program for black youth in LA? I have been searching, but I can't find what my son really needs.

I think most relationships don’t last because like Duke said they dk each other. There a saying that it takes about 1-3 year to learn your partner fully. Throw a baby in there and it harder. I agree with being a good guy even with it challenges can be hearing the gratification from people feels goods. Great episodes 💯

Incredible episode!! You all are incredible men thank thank you for putting these perspectives out. It cannot be understated how important it is for men like you to be stating these behaviors so that this doesn’t get read as weakness or less masculine SOLELY because it’s not seen enough. You all are the best

Yall are really the best foreal. Good men foreal! The experiences, the truth, the feelings. May God continue to cover yall and your unions. Continue to keep God first. ❤

Great discussion prayers for your channel expedited 100K💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

When ur Greek at homecoming .. u are so deep into catching up with ppl and a lot of stuff is going on… It’s too much to bring ya partner and have to explain every discussion or person etc. If you trust each other it doesn’t matter….some ppl have other intentions but if ur faithful it’s not that serious.

Yall should invite Davale Ellis on ur show!

🔥

42:52 was deep. It's a a factor that has been set by society standards of what's the traits of a man so a lot of us men strive to be providers, care givers, etc before we're even out of adolescence.

Great! Episode Please have on again!

Three Kings 👑👑👑 To be so young, you three have Healthy perspectives on how to maneuver through life, regardless of mistakes you make, your eagerness to be intentional to do the right things is very honorable!!! Allow yourself Grace wherever you fall short❤️

Duke's co-sign's in this episode are hilarious! 😂

4:50 that’s my first time hearing that and we just had our homecoming! Ladies bring your man.. men bring your girl! #aamu

crazy to see all of y'all with wedding rings on! Love that for y'all

I like to commend you guys for having this conversation. Masculinity is under attack and there’s not much men out there. I agree with Duke 110%. If you guys just spoke about Jesus, that would just bring you on a whole other level

I went to an HBCU (CAU) and I would definitely bring my partner. Leaving them home is wild.

Great convo

I don’t need to learn no lesson when I’m mad

Forget your feelings 😮😮

“I may just throw out, your dad is not running this family!” 🤣🤣🤣 I like that!

This entire episode!!! The “I love you” at the end! 🖤 love to see it! #BlackMENshowinglove TOP TIER!

Jalon! I’m with you, I hate to see it. So many broken homes 😩

Prior to me having my son I never understood why relationships end after the baby. But now that I have actually been through it, I can honestly say for me postpartum depression was a huge deal in my situation. And a lot of times men don’t know what to do or how they can assist the mother while going through postpartum depression. It’s a lot to deal with as a man. We all hear the sad stories about babies being left at trash cans or babies are being killed by the parents, well that’s postpartum depression. It’s just a lot to deal with and men are leaving rightfully so!

Can we learn more about Omar’s journey into Chinese medicine including going to school?

I’m personally not a fan of it but I don’t like to seem like the “controlling” partner so I let my man go to homecoming with his friends.

Committed to something higher… that’s good

They don’t exist in my world 😂😂

Omar said I don’t get it 😂😂

What frat is Duke in?

Them bopping while the song is playing and having a whole conversation is hilarious 😂

Honestly graduating from one of the top HBCUs , I’m way to busy in my career/wife/kids that I skip all the homecomings..& I live not even an hour away of my school🤚🏽ion even play like that.❤-> and when pregnant & post our brains shrink….bare with us fellas 😂

As someone in a relationship who also went to an HBCU, it is extremely awkward to navigate homecoming with your partner and be around everyone from your past. HBCUs are small, everyone is like family, and your college friend group most likely includes people from your past. It doesn’t mean anything inappropriate going on, but at HBCU homecomings, you will be around or with people you had prior dealings with. And it can be very awkward because they’re going to be everywhere. The experience is about reconnecting with people but it’s hard to understand from the outside looking in. I will say, it’s probably easier for men. As a woman, getting into parties and clubs can be very difficult if you have a man with you (friend or your man) especially if he didn’t go to the school or have connections.

“Teaching lesson on the spot” guilty over here

“I may just throw that one out there” 🤣

I think your partner may feel left out during the hbcu homecoming unless she brings a homegirl…there are a lot of conversations that would be at that are specific to the hbcu experience especially Greek life

Imagine those moments when as a man, you are in full blown anger, or full blown hurt feelings…are you guys able to take criticism in that moment? :)

I’m glad yall started playing the song again

Would you consider releasing earlier in the day verses afterwork?

African American culture was more prevalent in the older generations. I think once the WW2 generation passed so did a lot of our culture.

This was good!

Spot on...
