Sistahs, see if you recognize yourself in this viral video

Sandra Rose October 19, 2010

A CGI cartoon video titled “Black Marriage Negotiations” has gone viral on YouTube. This video is probably viral because so many single sistahs think they recognize someone they know in this video.

The problem is that sistahs don’t recognize themselves in this video.

The black man who is willing to bend in response to the black woman’s demands (because he loves her) is labeled a weak man.

The black woman portrayed in this video prefers a thug who will not bend — except to beat her down on occasion — which she believes indicates true love.

Black man: Well, you drive a hard bargain. But, because I love you so much, I’m willing to make the sacrifice.

Black woman: Naw, you’re too weak. I need a man with a backbone who won’t let me run all over him. Besides, you’re not 6-feet-5, and that’s a deal breaker.

Do you recognize yourself in this video?

Thanks to loyal reader Rodney for sending this in!

Man, I just don’t care™

Sandra, is this about M NICA?

@ Man………….GET OUT MY HEAD! I was just bout to say did Rocko #salute send this in??

gtfoh with this bullshit!

Funny but true. We place such high expectations on men but aren’t willing to respect him like a man….

Then we want him to love and respect God but then move in with him without a ring.

One of the most difficult task is to recognize our individual areas of opportunity, correct, and grow from them. Successfully doing so will allow us to attract a healthy mate in lieu of attracting the things we “feel” we are missing.

That dang Chilli is what I like to call super stupid. Her list was ignorant. Like I told my male homeboys. “She doesn’t want a man to drink, smoke or eat pork?!?!?!? She at least has to let a brotha toss one back and ocassionally light one up b/c he’s going to need it if he has to put up with all of those other da** rules!”

@Kezi yeah the stuff about Rick Ross and Drake had me rollin!

@jazzy Right! She basically wanted a man to descend from heaven with wings because that list ruled out everyone. You see she had to modify it just to find a date.

Even if they have a pre-nup, in Cali those things aren’t iron clad. That’s why Shaq’s wife filed for divorce in Cali even tho at the time, neither of them were living there.

Shannon Brown’s Career earnings:
2006-07 Cleveland Cavaliers NBA $971,280
2007-08 Chicago Bulls NBA $1,044,120
2008-09 Los Angeles Lakers NBA $797,581
2009-10 Los Angeles Lakers NBA $2,000,000
Career (may be incomplete) $4,812,981
**Just signed a new contract with the Lakers this offseason**

I think M NICA has more money right now, but Shannon is only 24 years old. He prolly have 3 more NBA contracts in him.

Are they really trying to say this is how all black women think or act?? That shyt was ridiculous….nobody acts like that, and if they do they deserve to be alone. Matter fact that woman acts more like the “white” character LYNETTE on desperate housewives than ANYONE i know.

I seen this on FB and I think it is hilarious because I have came across a few sistas that think like this or somewhat. Some women want something for nothing or just think cuz they are opening their legs a man owes them something.

I still think it is HILARIOUS!

Hell the character “Gabrielle” can get a piece of that shyt too…

really I feel like everybody ain for everybody ok….when you meet someone on the same page as you, chances are thats who you should be with…I really think thats what the majority of black women do…we ARE NOT what these people are trying to make us out to be….Kim Khardasian was NOT submissive to Reggie Bush…so where is the video for other races……

are they really trying to say black women ruin their kids and turn them against their fathers….WOOoooooooooow..smh

*sigh* I really wish Monica would either: a) Be by herself for a while or b) STFU about her business for a while.

I love her but she has an insecurity complex that really needs to be addressed and it’s seeping through her pores.

Issa

There are women out there like this. I laughed throughout the whole video; it is funny. But, I don’t think ppl here have a problem with the vid…it’s Sandra. For whatever reason, she constantly feels the need to point out some black women faults and the crazy demand some of them put on men while never pointing out black men faults and the crazy demand they put on women. As if they don’t. But, she doesn’t date men, so what do you expect? Do like a man, think like a man…i guess. With Sandra, it IS like beating a dead horse. It’s the same with her Obama posts.

Sandra put post up like those for hits. She know 90% of the people here are women…black women who will defend themselves AND their President. With a post like this, she know they will keep coming back to comment. By the end of the day, this post will have 500 comments. More hits=more money. It’s a juvenile tactic but it works.

Laugh it off and keep it moving.
