In this photo taken Feb. 12, 2010, Vendor Mike Hunt demonstrates his shea butter soap, which he says is part of his "social message" touting the benefits of natural African products and being African-American, part of his heritage, at the Ocean Front Walk in the Venice district of Los Angeles. Sand and surf are the least of the attractions making Venice Beach one of Los Angeles' top tourist draws. On summer weekends, some 150,000 exhibitionists and gawkers flock to the neighborhood to see and be seen in a Bohemian rhapsody of bongo-bangers, dreadlocked artists and acrobatic gymnasts.

Of course this is a truth..Esp when too many African desc men are paying rents and mort for White women, thus leaving the "OTHER family destitute and struggling?
This insanity is also played out by many African desc men even though they are "NOT" the mortgagee and/or the rental agreement is not in thier names..They are not the leesee?
So WTF?
There are other variables as well, poor money mgmt skills etc, however, if more African desc men would take the time to "THINK" and put aside the " ANGRY B woman insanity and think about their children(which the white gurl prob does not even know or care about?) perhaps there can be some fair play?
I say this because there are far too many children african Desc) homeless because of the failure to communicate..Last white woman do not smile..Your next becausae when a sorry father and lover finds somewhere else to go..and the rent is cheaper??? lol

what ms. milagros fails to mention is that men can't have children! why would a well raised young black woman have 5 babies from 5 dadies then complain about good fathers!? instead of chasing around the 5 bad fathers , why not deal with herself and keeping her legs closed out of wedlock for a while!if these woman are not being rapped to have these children then one can assume she plays a part in her own demise.I teach my step daughter some morals which does not include "making sure you get the right baby daddy! then maybe they could get a decent BM if he does not always have to have a "ready made family"...if you really mean well..then talk to the females cause even if BM can't contrl themselves surely th BW can contol her lust...or can she?
