Black men: Would you date a black woman who would not submit to you?

Go jerk off or something. Damn.|||Yes. Black women are Queens, not slaves. They are equal to black men so both should have conversations and the one who is wrong on that particular occasion should submit. Marriage is about sacrifice, compromise, doing stuff to help out the other person or to make them feel good, it's about what your spouse / lover wants over what you want.





And I don't think black men should get everything while black women get nothing. Both should share the power, the responsibility and the respect.





I'm not a tyrant and I'm not looking for a peasant to oppress. I'm looking for a strong-minded, independent woman who is intelligent, has a sense of humor and is friendly.





Also, black women are the pillars of the black community. And their strength is something to admire, not something to bring down or destroy.





Edit: @ One Deep: The Bible says to "submit one to another." Both husband and wife should submit to one another. Also it isn't gender confusion that causes divorce, no offense. It is a lack of communication, an unwillingness to sacrifice, a lack of respect for one another, cheating, lack of trust, etc.





Edit: @ One Deep. God defines as a leader as one who was willing to serve. Christ served the church by willingly dying for them. I don't understand what you mean by submission. Is it that a husband can tell his wife what to do and she has to do it as long as it is not something wrong? Yes, the Bible does mention women submitting, but it also says the man should submit. I think it's because some men tended to try to dominate women at the time and God had to insert the love message (male submission) into the marriage relationship. I also think some women had a problem working with their husbands and might sometimes have done things without consulting them and trying to undermine their authority in the society at that time. My point is that our modern English uses the wrong word and I don't think that's the view that the author of that verse intended. I think what is suggested here is a lack of communication, respect for the other person, lack of compromise, lack of trust, etc. It could also be two warring personalities that weren't willing to listen to the other person, weren't willing to sacrifice what they wanted for what the other person wanted.





Why do I disagree that it is only the woman who was meant to submit? If that was the case, then they wouldn't have both been told to submit. To me, submission is about sacrificing your pride, your power, your need to be right because you love the other person. But both are told to me submit. Not one of them.





I disagree with your point, but you really know your stuff. Props go to you. Also, I do think you have a strong case. I just think that you're missing the part that BOTH should submit, putting them both on equal footing and the same level. Also, God told men to love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it. Nowhere did it mention that men were over women. It said that the love that men had should be like Christ's. Why? Well society teaches men to suppress their feelings and love is one of them. Consequently, many men would act tyrannically to women and since they were the ones in charge, many would leave out the instruction to men to love their wives and submit to them as well...as opposed to seeking to dominate them. I think women struggled with submission and men struggled with love. That's why I think these two were mentioned. Great response, though.|||I would casually date them, but we could never be in a serious relationship or get married. Im not being with no woman who isnt a christian and the Bible says to submit to your husband. Not to mention gender role confusion is one of the main causes of the high divorce rate.








@khameleon- I know, but here it is in context





Ephesians 5:21-33





"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.


Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing[a] her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his body. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."[b] This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband"





PS- Verse 21 is an instruction for all of us to submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. What Paul then does is give examples for people in various life situations on how to submit to one another. He says “wives, here is what submission to your husband means in your life. But then he immediately goes to the husbands and says, this is what submission to your wife looks like for you, “Love your wife in the same way Christ loves the church. Lay down your life for her”.





Yes wives are to submit to their husbands in the same way the church submits to Christ. What does that look like? It means following his lead and serving him out of love. It is not a blind obedience but a following that comes from a relationship of trust and mutual esteem.|||I lived with a white woman for 12 years and I can assure you that she wasn't very submissive OR mild mannered.
