    Ask A Black Guy

    How do you feel about girls who go through their man’s phone?

    Guy #1- I think it is only acceptable if he gives her permission. I know a lot of girls do it regardless of how their significant other feels. But that does nothing but hurt relationships because she will continue to sneak and do it until she finds something. This ultimately destroys a relationship because now she is the one sneaking to see if her man is sneaking around.

    Guy #2- I think any girl who feels the need to go through a man’s phone needs to get a life. I’ve never been a fan of going through phones. If you’re not my girl then you have no right to go through my phone. And if you are, then trust me enough to know that besides my mom, I’m not talking to another girl. And if you don’t trust me enough to ask up front, then just leave me alone.

    Guy #3- I think girls going through guys phones are ridiculous. I personally caught my girlfriend in the bathroom going through my phone one night and it led to a bigger series of arguments than I’ve ever had. I think if a girl has doubts then she needs to just break it off until she can woman up enough to ask if a man is cheating or not. I’ve never cheated and never will. So when a girl goes through my phone it shows that we have no trust in our relationship.

    Would you rather have a girl like India Arie or Nicki Minaj?

    Guy #1- I love India Arie. Her music is so soulful and she does it for the love. She is a real woman. However, Nicki Minaj is the complete opposite. I’d rather have a real woman over a Barbie any day of the week. A soulful woman will always stay true to herself and her values regardless of how others feel. That is sexy.

    Guy #2- Right now, I rather have a girl like Nicki. Most people argue that she is the opposite of what I should be looking for, but right now I see the fun I could have with someone like Nicki. She works hard but plays hard too. She lives freely and is a beautiful lady. I personally don’t have an issue with a woman like Nicki.

    Guy #3- Any girl that strives to be like Nicki Minaj is striving to be nothing. And I need substance in my life. India Arie is not as bad as Nicki Minaj, but then again I’d rather have someone who can stimulate my mind as well as my body. I think women like Nicki Minaj are far too fake and extra for me to say I want to settle down with any girl like that.

    What should young black men learn from Trayvon Martin?

    Guy #1- We should learn that Trayvon Martin is no different from Emmitt Till, the 4 little girls in Birmingham, or any other young black child whose life was cut down due to racism. I think we should learn that racism is still very much alive in this “post-racial” society. It is important to let our kids know that things like this are not just history; they are current events.

    Guy #2- What is there not to learn from Trayvon Martin? I think the biggest lesson is that your life in America is seen as worthless if you are a black male. A black man gets shot and killed and the killer can still go to Wal-Mart and buy all the skittles and ice-tea he wants. That is messed up. I think we need to learn that black Americans may always, no matter how hard we fight, be a second class.

    Guy #3- I think we need to see that our justice system does not care about black men. Black men are some of the most feared people on the planet. So to see one of our brothers get gunned down and justice not be served shows that there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. I think it was a painful reminder that even a black president is not enough; we need the equality we have so desperately fought for since the days of Reconstruction.
