You've heard the grim statistics for black men: Jail, prison, dead, etc.
You have a bunch of options in your late teens and early 20s, perhaps even having the luxury to be quite picky. But as the age bus continues to plow ahead, and those 30s roll around, you obviously run out of the Talented Tenth and into the wide open field of players, phonies and homies.
The number of single, eligible men dwindles faster and faster and you soon arrive upon brothers that are less than perfect.
The one you choose happens to have a rap sheet for "doing dumb stuff" as a teenager or adolescent. He's not a killer, but he may have been a robber, or went down with some shady associates who were up to no good.
If he tells you he's a felon, he obviously wants you to know about it.
If he doesn't he obviously wants it to stay hidden.
Either way you find out.
Do you stay or play?

August 9, 2009 at 7:06 AMHmmm. I don't have a problem with a man that did some dumb things in his youth. Lawd knows I have. But nowadays, Im more afraid of WHAT WENT ON WHILE IN PRISON rather than him actually having to go. Im being honest: men who've been to prison scare me. I always ask a potential date "have you ever been incarcerated?" if he answers yes, my next question is NOT "what for?" but "how long?"
