Very often we hear Black Women nursing their low self esteem and singing the same old song “Black Men are intimidated by an educated Black Woman”. Actually, I’ve experienced that it’s Black Women who are intimidated by educated, successful African American Men, or they wouldn’t have to constantly remind everyone of something that White, Asian, Indian, Latin and other cultures of women have as well. When ever in a social setting in the presence of Black Women, they are most often quick to inform me how educated they are, and some will even go as far as to tell me how intimidated Black Men are by them. Right away I realize how ghetto these - so common - Black Women are and how low their self esteem. My mother is a professional women with two degrees, so why would I be intimidated by any educated women. Then, when I’m not so competitive to share my level of education and success, many of these ignorant Black Women will tell me that I should not be ashamed, simply and ignorantly assuming that I’m just another uneducated, not-doing-so-well African American guy that they can look down on. But when I correct them and share just some of my minor achievements, these very same ignorant Black Women will neck spasm, buffoon and act silly with embarrassment. Not long after that I’m showered with phone numbers and business cards. I respectfully take the contact info out of good P.R. but I never call them. When some of these women realized that I have achieved and don’t have low self esteem like so many other African American Men they are so used to bashing, then they try to classify me as arrogant, simply because I don’t prefer to hear black male bashing. If I was arrogant, I would not take their contact info and simply tell them that I date White, Asian and other cultures of women.
