A Beautiful Poem about How to Make a Black Woman Smile

The Black Woman in My Life

The Black Woman in My Life

By The Political Assistant



A jaded attitude, a two-bedroom apartment in the Bronx, and a terrible job were my prized possessions before I met the black woman in my life. I was done with relationships, done with dating, done with “the chase”. It had all become too exhausting, not to mention expensive. I grew leery of women, rationalizing that most didn’t know what they wanted, so how the hell could they possibly give me anything I wanted without my begging for it. I never realized what the lack of real love in my life was doing to my spirit. I never realized what it was I was missing. I always felt the void, but I was oblivious to its effects, that is, until I met my black woman, my wife DJ DIVA.

I always felt that a woman was supposed to bring a certain amount of softness to man’s life. My black woman brought the softness, the roughness, the attitude, the confidence, and so much more. She came into my life at a time when I needed love more than any man should. I was a shell of the man I am today, fully functional, yet broken in so many ways. She helped put the pieces back together. She started with my smile, insisting that I not be afraid to flash my toothy smile. She moved on to loyalty by dismissing all potential suitors and demonstrating her dedication to me. She moved on to security, daring anyone to question our love and insisting that it be respected. I was just so taken by her spirit. Little by little, step by step, one act of love at a time, she put me back together in a way that I cannot begin to repay her for. It is why each day I am so grateful for her presence in my life. It is why on 12:01p.m. Christmas Day, I asked for her hand in marriage. I honestly had it in my heart to do it sooner but had cold-feet. Over 900 days have passed since our first encounter, each day I find a new reason to be in love. Each day I find yet another blessing in our union. Each day I try to find another way to repay my debt of gratitude. My black woman is a gift from the Lord himself. I did not ask verbally for her, which is why I believe she was sent to me. I think the Lord saw me in all my self-righteous misery and gave me a love beyond compare.

Samuel Jackson Loves a Black Women

"I don't care. I can hold a grudge" he says. "She'll try to get rid of it. She's a lot better at it than I am. But I'll come around to the fact that 'I'm holding on to this way too long.' And I'll let go of it."

There have been times during those 33 years when both had considered walking away but realized the positives of the relationship far outweighed the negatives. Love for each other was a major factor, so was Zoe.

Both Jackson and Richardson grew up in single-family homes and never wanted that for their daughter. "Sometimes, people say, 'That's crazy to stay together for the kid,'" he says. "But sometimes that's the one thing that helps you see that you were being silly. It would have been easier to walk away when all you had to do was stop, take a deep breath and work it out."

Over the years, the friendship between the two has deepened and endures through all the work-related separations because both of them are busy actors. "La Tanya has a great sense of humor, a great love of life and a great love of the people around her."

And there are lots of people wanting to be around her--and him. Success does that in Hollywood. But the Jacksons have loyal friends and are still in touch with the same people who supported them in Atlanta and New York.
