Why the black man is a disappointment.

The ReadyWriter

I receive fan mail all the time, emails, IG and Facebook comments about show ideas or my listeners and readers wanting certain topics of conversation, but this particular letter we received this morning, the sender asked me to share and publish, so here it is..

Dear Ms. Bell,

I would just like to tell you why I chose to date outside of my race. The main reason is because the black men I’ve encountered have disappointed me. Yes that’s right, the black man is a disappointment. And I cannot depend on a black man. They promise and don’t come through, they talk but put no muscle or action behind their words. Half of them want you to run after them or take care of them. Some are lazy with no ambition. The man I’m with is my white prince. I can count on him, depend on him and he keeps his word, never before have I experienced what I’m experiencing now with my white king. He’s ambitious and see a future with me, never leaving me wondering and/or guessing where I stand in his life. He erases my doubt and secure all of my fears. So yes I’m a black woman in love with and will marry a white man, why? Because once again a black man never stepped up to the plate, he allowed someone else to take and appreciate his queen.

I Thank you for sharing but like Tika Sumpter, Serena Williams and countless others, trust that I understand.

Have a wonderful day and I look forward to your show!

“Bishop E. Bernard Jordan Exchanges The Word For Cash”

The ReadyWriter

This is something I knew already but recieved the following email from a loyal “Ceo blog” reader who decided to put the fake “money-hungry” prophet on blast.

Dearest Tracy,

Just when you think you have heard it all, here comes Bishop E. Bernard Jordan and his army of so-called prophets. The issues with the “Prophetic Ministry” are both alarming and deceptive as many desperate believers are taken advantage of by men and women like Bishop Jordan. With generic prophecies and new age rhetoric, Bishop Jordan has gotten filthy rich off the hopes of the poor and the sick.

The “prophetic word for cash scheme” has actually been around for a while, even dating back to the time of Paul’s ministry. It was so popular at the time that even when Paul publicly rebuked a psychic / mystic, who was then beaten and thrown in jail (Acts Chapter 16:16-24)…

Like many of you, I too have sat up late at night flipping through the channels only to discover Bishop Jordan on BET offering ridiculously vague prophecies in exchange for a donation of any size. How did we as the Body of Christ go from the Great Prophets of the Bible like Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel to Bishop Jordan, Benny Hinn, and Bishop Clarence E. McClendon?

…Men like Bernard Jordan has succeeded in making a mockery of this most Holy appointment due in part to the fact that they have appointed themselves to the role of a Prophet. Common sense would tell us that God would not use a true prophet to issue a prophetic word that sounds something like this:

“I am feeling in my spirit the number 34 or 3 & 4 which means that you may want to sow a seed of $34 dollars because someone in your life who is 34 years old could be in danger.”

Really Bernard Jordan? Really!

We have reached the point in biblical history whereas the fear of the Lord has dissipated and we’re left with preachers who are for entertainment purposes only and E. Bernard Jordan is one of them..

Referring to a chapter from my book, “Conversations Of A Sistah”, the reader concluded: “If you wanna “hustle” then sell drugs, go be a male prostitute, do a check scam, but don’t take advantage of people’s spirituality by trying to make a dollar off of their beliefs.”

Wow and…Amen!

“The NERVE Of Some CEO Readers”

The ReadyWriter

Early in the week I wrote a piece about this being black history month and how it will be acknowledged and celebrated here at the CEO’s blog; yet this morning, we received an online article from loyal reader “Angelhair” about getting rid of the black history month celebration altogether.

Dear Blog Queen,

I’ve been a loyal reader of your blog for the past year or so and since it is customary for you to acknowledge black history month on your blog, you should know that there is talk of getting rid of this celebration for good. Blacks have made contributions throughout history and having just 28 days to acknowledge this is unfair and totally absurd.

Attached for your reading pleasure is an article that was posted online supporting the same.

I feel what you will do here on your blog for the next 28 days or less is extremely unnecessary. After reading my email and the article, I hope you will reconsider. I’m sure your readers will agree.

The Article

Peace

Stories, articles and fan mail are always welcomed to me via email concerning this blog., and if I feel such information is news worthy and worth sharing for discussion I will do so; however, no one will ever tell me what I should or shouldn’t highlight or write about at my own discretion.

This reader had a lot of nerve sending me this email but she seems to think you will agree with her…. please sound off, I’d like to know.

“Why Won’t He Marry Me?”

The ReadyWriter

You cannot make a man marry you, nor can you make him love you., these two, very important instincts should be initiated by the man.

One of these questions came to me via email from a loyal reader:

Tracy I’ve been with this man for over a year and I have been everything he wants and more. I keep myself up and I work out and I look damn good whenever we hit the town and I present myself like a lady. I made it very clear to him that I’m not trying to do this dating thing for too long because I’m not getting any younger and he isn’t either!

He’s 30 and had his time to play around in the streets with the chicks who came before me but now it’s time for him to put a ring on it. I’m about to be 28 and I have a very strict timeline that I’ve told him about and he acted like he was okay with it. I want to be engaged by the time I’m 29 and married by 30 I’ve said it over and over but he hasn’t bought it to the forefront of discussion as a matter of fact he avoids it.

I don’t want to waste my time but he needs to step up to the plate. I have a job, I don’t have kids and not to blow my own horn but I’m physically attractive. He’s educated and got a good job so I don’t understand the hold up. He needs to put a ring on it asap. How do I get this message across to him because I can’t wait much longer. Your advice would be appreciated.

This letter is so simple and easy…The decision to marry has to be initiated by the man, in Proverbs 18:22, it states: “Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing”, your man has to recognize that you’re his good thing!

If he doesn’t, then you have to move on and not waste anymore time in a relationship with him that will not herald the results that you want. And this simply means, that you’re not pressuring him into a decision but you both don’t want the same things.

There are so many other issues I touched on with this reader, who failed to mention one very important thing: LOVE – marriage is serious and should not be ‘entered into’ lightly but should mean for the rest of your life…I wished her luck and advised her to be prayerful.

What do you want to tell her? She’ll be reading your comments below.
