agreed. but her point was about men who are supposedly in commited relationships & continuously break that bond, while preaching monogamy & faithfulness. or the strength of the black family.

or men who talk about how black women are the queens of the universe or what have you, then turn around and patronize & demean the women they "love".

you know that skit before the common/mc lyte song on "like water for chocolate" when he's talking to the fan like, "yeah sista, 'cause i believe we all need to stick together as black people and blah blah blah" and then his hoe comes in & he curses at her & slaps her around? that's an extreme, but it's the dualistic attitude a lot of these men have (and i know you mentioned physical abuse as crossing a line, but you are aware that psychological abuse can be just as if not more damaging, correct? let's not battle semantics).

multiple sex partners & multiple marriages are two different things. a king would have never treated one of his concubines like his queen(s). it's like apples and oranges.

you're comparing a lot of different things in an effort to make a point the poster really wasn't trying to get at.

...not to mention the original post wasn't even about famous or well known people. just ordinary every day folks who can't keep their dirt under the rug long enough to keep from looking like assholes when they come w/ all the "righteousness"

that's not being nosy, that's just bein real.
