When a Woman Loves a Boy

When a woman loves a boy I guess the  love is strong enough to make her completely lose all of her senses and out the window with her senses goes her freedom (jail time) her career and her reputation.

We have seen quite a few stories over the past couple of years about women falling madly or lustfully in love with young men under the age of 18. Most of these women have been in some sort of authoritative position over these boys, mainly their teachers.

My question is this, well one of my questions for these weird, obviously desperate women is, are there no men your age that you could love or lust after? I mean surely there HAS to be at least one suitable man in your age range that you could date and even possibly allow to ruin your career as you have allowed your relationships with these young boys to do. I am willing to bet that there are tons, I mean boat loads of men over the age of 18 that would love to help you ruin your life, so why pick a child?

April Wade is the 34-year-old Spanish teacher in Memphis, TN who was recently arrested for having a relationship with one of her 17-year-old students. The news reported that not only was April Wade dating the boy, but Wade moved him into her home and purchased him a car.

Dear Ms. Wade, are you that damn desperate that you go from teaching the boy Spanish to teaching him how to let a woman take care of him? I mean really Ms. Wade are there no other men in the Memphis area that you find suitable enough to date that you had to start selecting suitable companions from your pool of students?

April Wade who has been charged with statutory rape has also been suspended with pay from Memphis City Schools. Hopefully (fingers crossed) she will be given the maximum jail sentence possible and be required to register as a sex offender.

Somehow we done got it twisted

I recently witnessed a woman falling out, crying and screaming obscenities at the police for arresting her son-in-law and his brother for selling drugs and gambling.  These same two young men shoot dice and deal drugs all day, every day on the mother’s front porch.

….somehow we done got it twisted!

Now some of you may not see a problem with this, but BGT does. It has come to my attention that many black mothers have it twisted. No, actually they have it turnt upside down or bottom ways up as my grandmother would say.

Far too many black women are applauding bad behavior from the males in their family. They smile and accept baby after baby out-of-wedlock from their sons, but raise hell when their “baby boy”wants to get married. They cause all kinds of drama, hoping to save their son from marriage, BUT they had no problem when he was making those sweet little grand babies unmarried.  On other occasions they are aware of their sons criminal behavior, yet they have the audacity to get offended if the police take them to jail. They call that picking on them. Ok well maam if your son is on the corner selling drugs day in and day out, he is leaving himself open to be picked on.

It bothers me that mothers are not only gladly accepting bad behavior from their sons but they are his cheerleader and co-signer for bad behavior.  It is almost as if things have been twisted. These mothers stick up for hoodlum sons who do everything under the sun, and get upset when society labels them criminals and thugs. Maam, your son calls himself a thug in your presence, so why is it a problem when society labels him as a thug.

Somehow we done got it twisted…

I remember growing up and mothers not caring if their son was seven or seventeen. If you got out of line you would get put back in line. Nowadays grown men are living with their mothers, with their baby mama, the two children he has by her, the two children she had from a previous relationship, his best friend Clyde, Clyde’s girlfriend and their dog Rufus. They all live with the mother and she has no problem with all of these grown tale folks shackin’ at her house. She even keeps the sweet  grand babies so they can go out and party and come home high.

Again…somehow we done got it twisted….

When did it become okay to accept criminal behavior and triflingness from your children. I mean sure enough when they are grown you cannot control their actions, but you can still make sure that they know it is wrong. You can still tell them that you don’t agree with it and that you in no way support illegal activity and will have no part of it. Instead a lot of black mothers act as if society is picking on their babies and he is only doing the best he can. Oh really, is that the best he can do? Well damn, thats shameful then!

Black mothers need to learn to realize that loving your son does not mean co-signing on a triflin lifestyle. Regardless of what our children do, we love them. A mother’s love should be unconditional. But accepting and going along with mess is unacceptable mothers. Let’s quit babying these grown men as if they don’t know right from wrong. A mother should feel comfortable knowing that she taught her children right from wrong and if they choose to do wrong it wasn’t because they weren’t taught any better.
