Frustrated: Black American Men in Brazil

A friend of mine sent me this you tube video to watch called, "Frustrated, Black American Men in Brazil."

I watched the entire documentary and what was interesting to me was the comparison of Brazilian women to American Black Women. The men seem to say that the women of Brazil were more loving, submissive, care free and catered to the black men more than black American women. They said black American woman were more materialistic, all about money, stated a black man had to make the same amount of money or close to what they made, had too much attitude and felt just because they had careers that they didn't need to take care of the home or their man anymore. The Brazilian culture structure teaches family first and embraces people of color much better than America. I don't believe or agree with the overall statement that Brazilian women treat black men better than black women in America; however, I do believe that we all still have room to grow and learn how to have a stronger family structure in America and in order for that to happen there is a lot of healing that needs to take place on both sides male/female. Many black women are broken, bitter and scorn from betrayal, lies, manipulation, verbal & physical abuse, child hood molestation and absentee fathers. I feel when a person can face their truths and fears then they can truly work towards achieving what God has for them and the blessings God is just waiting to give you. I feel that black women love and properly care for their black men until their ruined by the male chauvinist who's selfish, self absorbed and only out for his own personal gain in relationships thru manipulation, lies and deceit. We all have knowingly ignored red flags at one point or another however, many times our choices are taken from us because of deception and then it just becomes a vicious cycle of games, lies, deceit and betrayal. I feel if men and women learn how to be honest upfront with better communication of what it is their looking for then we can all find the happiness, companionship., love and respect that we all want in our relationships/marriages and raise stronger children, become better families and more community oriented. I truly believe de-segregation was the downfall of the black community, black business and strong sense of self and the beginning of the family structure falling apart.  What are your thoughts? Please share after you watch the video.
