COMMUNICATION

Communication is a word that has a lot of mileage on it. It went a long ways in the '80s and '90s but sort of slowed down at the turn of the century. Communication between men and women has always been a problem. Women complain that men talk at them, unemotionally. Men complain that women don't talk at all. Both are probably true. I know in my own experience with women, Black Women, that it is true. Black Women do not communicate with a man honestly or openly or with any sense of logic. Trying to get a Black Women to talk to you about what she thinks or feels or wants or desires is like trying to talk to the television. You get a lot of images but no substance. The one thing I've noticed with Black Women is that they are rarely honest with themselves about what they want from a Black Man. They will insinuate or imply or hint or outright lie about what they are thinking or what they mean when they make a statement, usually innocuous, about the relationship between the two of them.
Communication, a big word that has a lot of mileage and is tired from all the abuse it has received along the way.
