Young Educated Black C.E.O... You Might Say I'm Rare

About Me


Good Black Man
Good Black Men are indeed all around. You pass them on the streets, in the malls and the halls at work. Most you can't see because you don't know what a good black man really looks like. He usually isn't flashy enough or rich enough to turn your head. He might not wear a suit or drive a Lexus. He might not have a "body like Tyson with a Denzel face." But, as you mature, you realize it's better to find someone who's got your back than someone who turns your head.A good Black Man doesn't agree wholeheartedly with everything you say. He doesn't just tell you what you want to hear and do the opposite. He doesn't declare how sensitive, sweet, caring, sincere, yada yada he is (he won't have to because it shows). He has his own opinions and you may clash, but he doesn't have to degrade you to prove he's right. He even admits at times to being wrong, especially if you are willing to do the same.A good Black Man is not going to meet every item on your checklist. He is human with frailties and faults mixed in with all of his wonderful, strong attributes. He needs your love and respect. He needs to feel that you don't live to "catch" him doing something wrong so you can declare, "Aha! I knew you were a dog!!"A good Black Man doesn't necessarily give you a huge birthday or Valentine's gift. He shows his love in the ways that are comfortable to him. Don't judge him by TV standards. No one is really living a fairy tale. You'll miss out on your own fairy tale by buying into the myth that your men are no good. It's just not true.Black Women, salute us Black Men, and thank us for who we are and all we've done and will do.
On the other hand I also say this, listen and keep an open mind: "Don't hate the player hate the game and don't hate me cuz, I ain't gonna ever change. In the heat of the moment don't think, but feel cuz when you get right down to it sh!t, you've got to make her squeal. Now don't get me wrong ladies, ain't no freak you see, but when the moment comes around I'll be what you want me to be. Any true brotha knows that the fast way to a womans heart is simply being true and playing that part and any player knows that using the gentlemans art, will eventually lead to making her legs part. Like Moses and the red sea in due time I'll put your body in extacsy."

Think About It!


Simply put, I'm a young man who looks to realize his potential and then capitalize on it. Seeing as to how time waits for no man, that just makes me one impatient muthaf@cka. Those that know me well will tell you, don't let your inital impression of me fool you, my underlying layers go deeper than you can imagine. As black man looking to achieve greatness, I stay planted firm in my beliefs and open to change. "Intelligence and Faith is true strength, Adaptation and Inspiration are keys to Elevation, Vision and Action beget opportunity. A person who can use all of these can bring about CHANGE. These are the cornerstones of a strong man. These are the cornerstones of a strong woman. TAKE NOTES! Are you one?" - Ray

My Interests

I have interests in women, art, graphic design, bowling (don't hate), basketball, dancing, traveling, movies, real conversations (I'm not one for small talk), and a lot more, but if you want to know ask.

I'd like to meet:

People who are about something besides themselves. Women who are strong minded, intelligent, funny, sexy, down to eath and whitty. People who can tell me something I don't already know.
"HOLLA @ ME IF YOUR UP TO THE CHALLENGE. A REAL MAN HAS MANY SIDES, THIS IS JUST ONE OF THEM. THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT?"

Music:

Real Hip-Hop, Reggae, Some rap (Dirty South especially), R&B (that sexual healing), and Jazz.

Movies:

Just about anything with a good storyline. You know an actual plot, good actors, a decent budget, that sort of thing. But it has to be either funny, full of action, scary (not like thats gonna happen) or extremely original (a good example is Rent).

Television:

Xanga Music Video Codes by ..

Books:

The Souls of Black Folks (W.E.B Dubois), The Envy of the World Being A Black Man in America (Ellis Cose), and A Hope in the Unseen (Ron Suskind).

Heroes:

My Mom, MLK Jr., Malcom X, Harriet Tubman, and any who truly seeks to initiate positive change through example.
