Hello Sweetie,
I’m sorry it took me so long to write to you. I’ve been busy searching for your mom and trying to school your brother on the ways of life. I wanted to make sure that he was straight before I got to you. It wasn’t because I loved you any less but rather because I loved you just as more.
I know you are scratching your head wondering about this but give me a chance to explain.
You see there are many Men out there who ain’t like your brother and your daddy. They have made their bones about treating Women with less than the respect they are deserve to be treated. They make babies with Women they do not want to make families with, they use Women as sexual objects and even “lay hands” on those they have supposedly love.
You’ve heard the stories. These types of guys get better ink in the press and video play on the news. They have better press agents than good men and seemingly their man objective is to selfishly prove that women ain’t shit.
Yes I cursed but that’s because I’m using the language to make a point. In the future people will use much stronger words towards you: They’ll call you bitch, whore or if they are really feeling froggy they’ll call you a cunt.
Harsh words, yes. But I want you to know one thing: You are not those words. I’ll say it again so it sticks: YOU ARE NOT THOSE WORDS.
You are a strong, intelligent and beautiful Black Woman and no one can tell you how you should feel about yourself.
You create your own destiny with your actions and hopefully if I have done my job correctly you will be a strong example to both Men and Women on how to carry yourself.
Being that example it will require you to wear a heavy crown. Some Men will look to you as being stuck up and some Women will look at you as thinking that you are better than they are.
Sweetie, having choices in this world doesn’t mean that you are looking down on others or treating people like dirt. It means that you are being selective and in selecting the best possible person you will enhance your life not devalue your it.
You deserve to be with a good Man. There are those type of Men out there no matter what the media, bloggers or angry Black Women tell you different. There are Men who want to love you and treat you like Malcolm treated Betty or like Medgar loved Myrtle. They want to adore you like Martin adored Correta.
There are Men out there who want to make you the central point of their lives. If I have done my job you’ll be able to recognize the difference between those who do and those who don’t.
Now hopefully this will bring you to attention of different types of men. I can’t stop what you like and hopefully some Good Man would make themselves available to you. However, if you meet a man who treats you just as good or better than I or your brother had and the only thing different is that he’s white, yellow, or pokadot you take that chance and grab that brass ring.
Because you are the most important person in any relationship you might have. No man: friend, boyfriend, husband hell even your brother or me should treat you less than the Queen that you are. If they don’t you … don’t have to stay in that relationship.
Some Men will try to say anything to get you to go against your values. Hell when I was younger I did that myself. They will tell you they love you, that they can’t live without you or that you are the only one for them. What you need to do is use your head, think about the ramifications of any actions.
You are your own person and I’ll always love you. This is why I have written this letter to you. There are many dangers out there but I wanted you to be aware of them.
Hopefully, if I’ve done my job right both your brother and I will have nothing to worry about.
