The Black Man’s Manifesto for the New Millennium

Brought to you by AfroerotiK

I AM a Strong Black man and as such  …

I will carry myself with the grace, dignity and     character of a king at all times.

I will speak to women as human beings, not as     potential sex partners, not as someone with less value than myself, not     someone I must dominate in order to validate my manhood.  

I will not plan out how I can get a woman into bed     before I even introduce myself.  

 I will not judge a woman’s beauty, worth or value by     the length of her hair, the length of her fingernails, the roundness of     her behind or the size of her feet, and most importantly, the color of her     skin, just as I would not want to be judged by the length of my penis, the     size of my wallet, the car I drive, or the amount of money I make.    

I will make every effort to make sure women know that     they are safe when they are in my presence.  I will not touch, grope, or physically     intimidate them and I will not make unwanted sexual advances towards them.

I will NOT strike, restrain, or threaten a     woman.  

I will accept that if a woman says no, she means     she’s not interested in me sexually and that is her right.  I will never force a woman to have sex     with me.  

 I will ask my women friends, sisters and     acquaintances what makes them feel undervalued, unappreciated and     objectified and I will listen closely and make efforts to correct those     things that I do wrong.

When a woman tells me something is insensitive,     demeaning, or offensive, I will not dismiss it immediately as male     bashing.  I will take her critique     just as I would expect someone to consider mine.  

I will find something other than a woman’s looks to     compliment her about.  I will make     note of her intellect, her personality, her ideas, her imagination, and     her accomplishments.

I will acknowledge that my mother, sister, and     daughters are black women, deserving of respect, and I will work to treat     ALL Black women as I would have other men treat the women in my life.  

 I will accept responsibility for my wrongdoings, I     will not lie in an attempt to get away with my misdeeds, I will apologize     when I’ve done something wrong and I will deal with the consequences of my     actions by facing them head on.  

I will not partake in conversations with other men     when they are ridiculing women’s looks, bodies, or opinions.

I will remove the words bitch, ho, trick, chicken     head, and all other derogatory names for women from my vocabulary because     I recognize them to be sexist and degrading.

I will not refer to sex with a woman as hitting it,     killing it, stabbing it, or anything that has violent connotations nor     will it diminish the humanity of a woman by referring to sex with her as     getting “it” or getting “some”

 I will not define my manhood by the length of my     penis, I will define my manhood as fulfilling promises I keep, in having     integrity, in choosing mature solutions to problems and how I can be     honest even when it’s difficult.

I will speak out when I see other men disrespecting     women.  

I will honor my daughters as much as my sons.

I will not refer to myself as a pimp, a dog, a thug,     or a baller because I will not let racist stereotypes define me.

 I will learn how to communicate my feelings rather     than deny I have them or trying to suppress them with sex, drugs,     adrenaline, or alcohol.  

Life extends from the thoughts and emotions that you experience. This means that employing affirmations of positive words can have a powerful effect on how you feel and help boost you to new levels of achievement.

Affirmations are proven methods of self-improvement because of their ability to rewire our brains. Much like exercise, they raise the level of feel-good hormones and push our brains to form new clusters of “positive thought” neurons. In the sequence of thought-speech-action, affirmations play an integral role by breaking patterns of negative thoughts, negative speech, and, in turn, negative actions.

Repeat the below aloud and with conviction in the morning and after a few days you will notice the shift in your mood, perception, and interpretation of any given situation.
