I guess I need 2 look 4 that, or keep it in mind. U R right about that GranMa thing too. We discussed this w/ my brother one time. There is NO WAY he could raise his daughter w/o my mother if his wife died, unless he IMMEDIATELY remarried. NO WAY. The child would starve, and have locs in 3 months, because he would not know what to do w/ her hair. I was thinkin' 'bout these Brothahs that run this vegan Rasta restaurant I like in Baltimore. The staff in this joint is all male, and the food is great, which means they have the cooking part down. But, they are all such playas, it is not even funny. The owner typically has 50 million passion marks all over his neck, yet he'll be 'tryna holla'. The cook straight up TOLD ME that he is living w/ somebody, but guess what? He SURE WAS tryna holla. I mean, really now. Even when I lived in the ATL, where the conscious community is reputedly SOOOOO advanced, and progressive, there was a LOT of....how do I describe it.....unsanctioned polygamy goin' on. My Kenyan friend, who went to grad school @ CAU would say, "All those Afri-centric cultists<yes, she actually is African, and believes that Afri-centricity is a cult. But let me not digress...> do in West End is talk, and fuck. NOBODY works<to her, vending is not a legitimate job>." Anyway, I would meet these Brothahs in the ATL, and just think the world of them, only to find out how they were treating their women like s***, OR to realize that their so-called interest in my friendship was so they could use me for something, or another. I then concluded that the only difference between the conscious community down there, and hell, in DC too for that matter, and the Bougie community is, the former wears kufis, and daishikis, and the latter wears Donna Karan, and Stacy Adams.
