Aight, so i work at an oasis (rest area above a highway-yall kno yall can be slow sometimes) and i get a variety of customers that come through, all types of races and religions, truck drivers, families, and wat not. And what always stand out to me is all these races (NOT INCLUDING BLACKS) coming in and they all have families, ya know the mother the father/wife and husband, and the "lovely" children (jk-some of them are reeaalll wreckless tho), ALL TOGETHER AS ONE. I see this all the time. I see the bond the connection the love that they all seem to share. I see it. I feel it. Its bold and out there!.....BUT.......i rarely see black families anymore as ONE, as a unit, and im not just talking about who comes through the oasis when i work, but everywhere i seem to go in my community. Its basically the mother and then.... the baby daddy...not even the "father of my child" What happened to black relationships where there is a wife and husband and the kids living in the same house, going places together, doing things together? Like where did that go? Sometimes i think.....did it ever exist?
I love my family, and i love everything that is associated with it, that unconditional love, that feeling, those laughs, those good times, i love that! and i would love it even more if i seen more black families as ONE. I feel sad for these children, even children in my family that is with one parent and they alternate the kids, like bootleg movies. I mean i do understand that everything doesnt last. Everything isnt forever. But when i look at these kids i just see disconnect, a break in that family link. It is a totally different experience growing up in the same house as both of your parents and just one parent whether that child see the other parent or not. I feel like when a man and woman have a child they should grow and develop together, not seperate, building a better bond each and every day, always there 24 7 for your child when they need you. Even the relationship between the wife and husband (which doesnt seem to exist much anymore either). I love to see black love. Its really touching to me!
People dont even seem to care about relationships any more. They dont even kno what it is. Any relationships. And that saddens me and frustrates me....uggghhh...I want to see more from my black people. Although i may not know what goes on behind closed doors but i really admire Will & Jada's relationship. I just get a great vibe from their relationship. I want to see more of that!
So I hope there are less "baby daddys" and more loving black families. The world needs to see more from us. Right?
