Why My Wife is Black.
by Joey Pinkney

I can play with women of any race. I can only build a serious foundation with a Black woman. This is past racial and ethnic boundaries. For me, having a strong Black woman was a spiritual destiny.

My wife came into my life in a time of transition. I was getting out of that "finding myself" stage and was starting to realize the desire to have a substantial relationship and building a future and a family.

I needed a Black woman because she could relate to what I go through on a day to day basis. I don't have to explain to her the frustration of someone giving me something by placing it on the counter instead of placing in my hand. I don't have to explain the feeling of being followed around a store when I'm about to purchase whatever I'm leaving with. I don't have to explain who she is to my family. I don't have to feel guilty about doing the Electric Slide at just about any party, nor do I have to explain the steps. Those are small things that very important to me.

I also needed a kind of Black Mother that demanded respect from her children. That's one thing that I really love about my wife. She gives and demands and equal amount of respect. Being her child is secure, yet intense.

My wife also had the patience and strength to work with me as I made a transition from being single to being an instant father of the children she had prior to our marriage. She was able to give me the room I needed to grow into my new role. There's something about the way a Black woman turn boys into men and men into boys. She was stern without being cold and powerful without being condescending.

That's something I needed from my wife that only a Black woman could provide to me. That's the Black woman that you don't see on TV, don't hear about onCDs and can't read about in magazines. Being in love and being loved by a black woman is a first-hand experience. To put it in words and give it justice is nearly impossible.

There is so much more to this story, and I will share more and more as time goes by.
