Ok, so I know this video is way old..wayyyyyyyyy old(LOL) but I love it, and I've been watching it ALL morning. Beyonce is so talented and beautiful!! I love this song, the lyrics, the beat, the melody, the message behind it, the simpleness of it, but that's NOT what this entry is about, I want to talk about the person who's not pictured in the video..

..the man who she's describing, the man who she's talking about, the strong, stand up guy who treats her like a queen and is the inspiration behind the message. That's a strong brother, a strong brother to deal with all that..but that's why I love our black men(the strong and real ones), because they have to be resilient to deal with our many moods, attittudes, highs and lows taking it all in stride and managing to still make us feel so protected!! Ok, let me make this clear one last time, the above and below is for the stand up guys!! Weak ones, please exit stage left (unless you want some tips on how to be a better man).

Ok, so now that we've cleared out the dead weight in the room, let's roll.

Black men, thank you! Thank you, for protecting us, for listening to us, for loving us in spite of, thank you for listening to the many stories about our co-workers and girlfriends who have pissed us off one good one and nodding at the pefect time, thank you for fixing things around the house, thank you for taking the kids to the park to give us a break, thank you for holding our hands in labor, thank you for rubbing our feet at night, thank you for taking us on dates, late night walks, early morning pillow talk, thank you for going out on a daily basis, earning a living for us to make sure we have all our needs and most of our wants, thank you for building us up when we're down, for being strong when we're weak, thank you for putting aside your fears in a storm just to asure us we can depend on your bravery, thank you for simply..just being the rock we need in life

Thank you for loving us..flaws and all!!
