Strategies
for Resolving Conflicts in BMBFRs
The Black Male and Black Female
Relationships (BMBFR) discussion group is
devoted
to all aspects of Black male and Black female relationships and
its influence on Black
family life. Both its problem-centered emphasis and
a lack of consensus concerning the causes of the problems characterize
the increasing attention dedicated to describing and explaining Black
male-female relationships.
This discussion list will openly,
honestly and critically examine the various and complex set of
systems, institutions, beliefs and behaviors that restrict and/or
facilitate healthy and productive Black male and Black female
relationships.
Discussion topics will include, but are
not limited to the following suggested areas:
- Impact of sexism, feminism,
racism, classism and religion on BMBFRs
- Socialization of Black Males and
Black Females
- Defining Black Manhood and Black
Womanhood
- Black Morality
- Sex and Sex Control
- The World of Black Singles
- Dating
- Communication: What We Say to Each
Other
- Trust and Honesty
- Emotion Regulation
- Female Equality in Personal
Relationships
- Finding and Keeping a Mate
- Physical Attraction
- Spirituality and Spiritual Unions
- Game Playing
- Mixed Race Relationships
- Mixed Class Relationships
- Impact of Alternative Lifestyles on
Black Heterosexual Relationships
- Polygamy
- Role of Money and Other Material
Exchanges
- Impact of
Demographics on BMBFRs
- Gender Ratios
- Exploring Stereotypes and Myths Such
as the "Black Matriarchy"
- The Black Man's Role?
- The Black Woman's Role?
- Marriage
- Divorce
- Death
While the purpose of the BMBFR
discussion forum is to clarify the complexity of relationships for Black
males and Black females from the onset of dating to the golden years;
pride of place will be given to strategies for resolving conflicts in
Black Male and Female Relationships.
The permanent benefits of developing
such strategies is a base of healthy Black males and Black females
relationships thereby enhancing the overall quality of Black family life.
This discussion group is open to all
who wish to critically examine the questions, complains and concerns
voiced by both Black males and Black females about each other, in
combination to discussing strategies for building healthier Black males-females
relationships.
This discussion forum is designed to
facilitate a shared learning experience, rather than Black females
only speaking to each other about Black males, and Black males only
speaking to each other about Black females and their interactions.
Please note that this discussion forum
does not operate on the ideas that Black males and Black females are
enemies or have problems that are insurmountable. There are many positive
and wonderful connections and/or associations to be explored and/or
enhanced.
Bring your baggage and let us unpack it
and repack for a healthier and wonderful journey through our world.
Our core operating philosophy centers
on a forum to learn, research major ideas, concepts, problems, issues and
finding answers to information related to strategies for resolving conflicts
in Black Male and Female relationships, worldwide. Open discussion and critical examinations of
significant issues, questions and
events accomplish this.
Members of BMBFR are encouraged to comment on the
issues that affect our lives and explore, expose, and analyze the most
critical issues that effect our lives.
