He seems to be a good man and unproblematic. We need more of that than anything else.
And a very good football player. Don't get more manly than that.
Absolutely
@@sunrae7680 And for me it's very nice when a man is sure of himself, secure and that loves to show the world his wife is his girl.
I do not need anymore problems in my life and Ciara felt the same way!
She should have used a guy like Muhammad Ali, or Jalen hurts as an example, classy brothers yet respected amongst men.. Russell is not…
Russel is a joke of a man….
Russell is taking care of his wife and kids is his priority. That's all that matters period.
Exactly!! He’s on his grown man thing.

This
And his career

Claudia is right. The black community has collective low self-esteem and until that changes, nothing will.

*MY PERSONAL OPINION*
Are we in the black community so used to shit, trash, being thugs, being disrespectful, toxic to our Queens and Kings, etc., that when someone DOES step up to the plate and shows what RESPECT CAN BE in the black community, we can't (or even won't) accept that?
Funky Dineva said the key word: BROKEN. Broken homes, broken hearts, broken esteem of yourself and each other, brokenhearted, etc.
We as a community need to stop making it hard on our own for those who haven't had to struggle; come from 1 or 2 parent households and was "raised right"; was taught manners; taught proper English; got good grades in school; given the tools to succeed, etc. Why are we as a community penalizing success in life and in love?
So are we going to be taking away "black cards" for everyone who doesn't sag their pants, hit the pole, smoke, drink, cuss, make a spectacle of themselves on MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, show their asses on social media, beat their wives/ girlfriends/children's mothers, take deadbeat dads to court, etc.? GTFOH with the madness.
Truth of the matter is that all these wannabe/washed up "athletes," "rappers", "actors," etc., are just pissed because 1) people are calling them out on their foolishness and fuckery and 2) half (if not most) can't pull a woman like Ciara and they WISH they had half of the class, money, and respect that Russell has in his whole body!
*Why do we need to hold Russell Wilson to a higher standard in the Black community? Why the hell aren't we holding OUR OWN SELVES accountable and to a higher standard in our community?*
C'mon Black people; WE MUST DO BETTER. PERIOD.
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
Whew chile! The accountability in this comment is accurately necessary!!!
I think we need to also remember that this is just a loud minority who believes that Russell is less than. They are not representative of our community as a whole. You have ratchet men and women who like to tell themselves that they are the norm but they are not.
You took the words clean out of mouth. My, My that was a word!!!!
Thank you for saying this! There’s a serious lack of accountability in the black community. I’ve grown tired of the excuses and the coddling that has gone on. We’ll never do better until we can start addressing why we love to uphold negative, ignorant, toxic, and degenerate behaviours, lifestyles and people in our communities.
I love Russell Wilson he's a fine example of a awesome black father, husband ♥️
Why did you guys support lori harvey for dumping a great bm then? Just to have fun.

Claudia hit the nail on the head when she said Russell Wilson is like the men of the past generation. Russell Wilson reminds me of men from my fathers generation, and we need more black men like that! My father was a black man who loved his wife and family, who did everything for his family, he didn’t cheat or disrespect my mom or himself. He was an educated man who worked hard and set a tone of respect in all things he did!
My man grew up in this type of household. He always talks about how much his dad loved his mom. He treats me the exact same way - provide, protect, value, cherish. What a blessing to see this growing up. God bless you ❤️
My father was all things mentioned in your comment, a GREAT man who I love, respect, and admire! I never thought he was square, he set the standard and it’s unfortunate so many men choose not to be this type of man we were so fortunate to have in our lives!
Russell is a lightskin man and in the black community dark skinned is preferred but light skin men are more educated and make more money and tend to elevate their partners and build their home. Same rule of thumb with Steph Curry
@@Ornament_1 Russell is not light m that is not true at all all light skin men aren’t educated you lots of darker skinned men that’s educated . If you’re going post , post real facts .
Girl a lot of those men cheated so that’s not true at all .
I’m so confused on why people think Russell isn’t a catch. I grew up with a two parent household where my dad loves my mom and showed it. I love Russell and support him in everything. He’s a great role model and a lot of men need to learn from his efforts.
This part!
🎯I know right.
You are not confused. They are... let them fight over scraps
I think degenerate BM have an issue with him. Let the bad boys go to jail or di. e off, the BC needs to change for the better and men like Russell can help us get there.
@@queenivy8600 you hit it on the nail
Can I get a Russel Wilson? I'm sure that a large majority of black women would love to have this type of man. He is the epitome of what a man SHOULD BE, especially a black man.
Exactly. Is there a website you can direct me to?
Amazon Prime next day delivery! 👌
..I HIGHLY doubt that. You actions say otherwise. Should I bring in the statistics? Exactly!
@Samantha Swann ciara is a unicorn also of that's the case.
@Samantha Swann you said good bm are rare which is an insult. City girls are good girls also right?
Russell is the perfect example of manhood,very classy ,always going to children’s hospitals,looking out for Kobe’s family when they were down and most of all a great family man,a segment of black Americans are embarrassing themselves by attacking him
Yes!!! Please say this louder for the people in the back!!!
@@essence174 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
💯
Lots of men are jealous of him
@@7sevyn7_ Exactly. That’s why they are not winning.
Kudos to the panel!!!! It's sick and disturbing of how we as black people have normalize toxic behaviors that means us no good. Russell is EXACTLY an example of how a black man should be.
Yet the same girls praised lori harvey for dumping mbj and having fun. City girls are no different than future.
But yet they (Al and Funky) were criticizing Steph and Ayesha Curry for the exact same reasons they are praising Russell and Ciara (that I also appreciate) What the "colorism" is going on ?
Yeah Russell is the example after you all spend your best years running the streets with future first. Then Russell can come later and cleanup the mess.
She should have used a guy like Muhammad Ali, or Jalen hurts as an example, classy brothers yet respected amongst men.. Russell is not…
Russel is a joke of a man….
When I see unprovoked hate for The Wilson's, I automatically think its rooted in a need to see Black women unhappy and suffering. If he dogged her tomorrow, bitter black men & women would announce a new level of respect for him while also claiming they knew it was a sham. It's sick and demented...
"Many of y'all that question Russell, y'all come from broken ass homes" THE TEA. A WORD!
And meanwhile, Russell is unbothered and doing him as he should. I didn't come from a broken home as well as many black folks. He is an upstanding human being and I am happy for him and Ciara. We have got to change our own narrative. Keep shining Wilsons....❤️💛
Amen
Russell is the ultimate example of a gentleman. He is a great example of a Black man, I wish more would act like him.
She should have used a guy like Muhammad Ali, or Jalen hurts as an example, classy brothers yet respected amongst men.. Russell is not…
Russel is a joke of a man….
Black women LOVE Russel Wilson! ALL black women was trying to memorize Ciara’s prayer. The brothas are the ones that make fun of him! PERIODT!
Exactly
😀❤
Girl yesss, women were trying to buy that prayer lol
BS! Half of black men are single, Childless and living in the middle class (google). It’s funny how there’s a Russell Wilson “prayer” after a Future done preyed them drawls off! J/s
Agree!!!
Speak for yourselves, I come from a family of men that carry themselves a lot like Russell, my Dad was a pharmacist and his 5 brother’s all physicians, that’s kinda all I knew for a very long time as I grew up like a “Huxtable”…. And I like the fact that I can dine at the Whitehouse or the projects and be comfortable at both places…it’s disrespectful to question this man’s Blackness because of his upbringing,,,, racists cops don’t give a damn how we speak, what shade of Black we are, or our educational backgrounds,,, in the words of Jay-Z “still Nigga”… we really need to work on sticking together instead of tearing each other down…Stay Black
Facts
Same
That's right, sis!
Beautifully said, sis
I’m disgusted by the constant criticism and questioning of Russell Wilson. He’s a great man, has a kind and loving heart, charitable and caring for sick children in his spare time. What is this insane litmus test we have to prove our blackness? Let’s not fall into the traps of stereotypes of what a black person is supposed to be. There is no one way to be black. I see a good and God-fearing strong black man and I think it’s commendable. We need to uplift examples of men with strong family values. This will only help to strengthen our people in so many ways.
I as a Black Man totally respect Russell Wilson.
Facts!
Whew! I'm glad to hear it. All of the smoke is coming from black men and it's scary

@@ILuvMyBrwnSkin
Man hell nah… if ur gonna choose a classy brother use Muhammad Ali as an example.. respected amongst men.. not Russell
Russell is all that we should aspire to be
Put the crack pipe down.

Because in order for him to be seen as " down" he gotta be abusive, a cheater and a baby daddy. Which is absolutely disgraceful. And lord knows what's really going on in the Wilson household but some ppl see that as corny. Keep doing you Russell.
I respect and support a man like Russell Wilson! That is a grown man! That’s A King!♥️👑
Issue is its always what he does for her but never reverse. Many girls that are praising them only care about what ciara gets not what he gets also.
@@theadvancedforce1017 what does she need to do for him that she’s not doing ? She raised his popularity she gave him 3 children and she speaks highly of him in public the problem I have is you bmales have nothing to say about these non bw that marry these athletes who embarrass their black husbands all the time it’s like you feel they did them a favor just by marrying them but a bw must be grateful to be with a BM with money you have such obvious double standards with bw and it’s racism at it’s core. His ex wife cheated and you guys have nothing to say
@@kitejohnson515 you clearly are against bm no matter what. You love ciara but not russel. Just what he can do for her.
@@kitejohnson515 see how mad you got when I said a relationship both ways? She gets treated like a queen but you get triggered if he gets treated like a king in return? Ciara fans are too 1 sided in my opinion.
@@kitejohnson515 also way to bash bm as usual.
Russell is the M.V.P. Respect the way he loves & respects himself & his family 🤎!!! He's a wonderful example of a Black man.
Funny how the same girls sided with lori harvey for dumping a good bm. Also claudia called out the rappers but supports city girls. Bm are held to a higher standard.
Unfortunately our black community is addicted to dysfunctions and some especially BLACK MEN don't know what and how to love and RESPECT WOMEN... Russell Wilson setting the example of how to be a stepfather, a great husband that treats his wife like the queen she is. I swear most black men need serious help
Black ppl being disgusted with Russell Wilson is a classic case of slave mentality. Self hatred at its finest. SMH. I'm so wholeheartedly BLESSED that I instilled in my brother KING skills; how to be a proper man with great values. I'm very proud that my brother can be added to the beautiful black man crew.
@World Peace not all black women. Some have talked negatively about him as well. They'd rather have a "bad boy" vibes. SMH disgusting.
The hate directed toward Russell Wilson is why we have to move to a better neighborhood (where people snitch on those who commit crimes), when we hit it big financially. We are programmed to respect those who live a low standard of life with a low standard of behavior and ethics. I was once criticized for writing ‘white’ in my comments because I used correct spelling and grammar. We are now equating bad grammar and bad spelling with sounding black. It’s sad that I went to school for four years to learn to write in journalism classes, but I still have to use bad grammar and spelling to sound ‘black’. Just another way we are programmed to live down to those negative stereotypes we are labeled with.
Chilly, I agree and I don't care. Let me sound white....My mother who did not finish her nursing degree but made sure we went to college....... we did not and I repeat, we did no talk ghetto (ebonics), we did not hang out in the streets and we played in the back of the apartment, not the front that had an elementary school with playgrounds, swings, etc basketball court, tennis court because everyone hung out there and she did not want any mess...I thank her now (God rest her soul) because most of those friends that hung out there......and I will leave it at that!
Oh yes that's 100%right.
100
It's so weird how we praise people for doing what they should do! We are acting as if he is a unicorn in the community when other communities are like "what's the big deal?". Thank you Funky!!!
He’s is being treated like a unicorn because he treats his wife like he should… the issue is SOME black men are just not interested in treating us right. But if he was married to a white woman Black men mouth would be zipped!!! Its acceptable by Some black men to treat non black women good. But for some reason some black men feel we are simply not worthy..But my husband treats me well and he get hated on to by other black men mostly in the family!!
Russell is the epitome of class. Grace. Confidence. Excellence! He is proof that great black men are still out there and a woman doesn’t have to suffer first in order to be loved! I love it!! ♥️
Why praise lori harvey for dumping a great bm and having a hot girl summer then? Confusing. Do you think there are many great girls left?
His wife is the opposite 🤷🏾♀️always twerking and then professibg christian values. She twerk all the time...it's so unbecoming next to him.
@@theadvancedforce1017 I didn’t say anything about Lori Harvey! I actually think she’s a female future. Very toxic. So how did this come up?
@@KFiya my bad. I jumped to conclusion. Claudia however supports lori so I can't really listen to her talking points about good bm when she herself supported lori dumping a good bm.
@@theadvancedforce1017 it’s cool. Claudia is all over the place on a lot of topics.
It has to be a sad day for Black men that their social image and their Blackness is aligned to how they mistreat women. And if you're actually kind and nice to women, you're not "Black enough" How dreadful.
Black men have a lot of work to do on their social image.
To be fair good bm get bashed by girls as well. Can't just blame bm 24/7 for everything which isn't fair. In this case it's always what he can do for her but never reverse. Russel treats her like a queen but you guys aren't concerned if he's being treated like a king in return. Bm are not saints true but nether are yall. Lori harvey is being treated as a saint after she dumped a good bm. In fact you guys are questioning if mbj is good or not. You can't say you don't like rappers then support city girls. Lori....
@@theadvancedforce1017 ..didn’t you know? It’s ALWAYS BM fault. BW are absolute perfect angels and anything they do (ratchet or otherwise) is ALWAYS someone else’s fault.
@@TheWholeWorld1 right. Lori harvey is their idol.
@@theadvancedforce1017 we don’t know what happened in Lori’s relationship
@@theadvancedforce1017 lmao damn…so BM being held accountable is your main worry and not the actual problematic behaviours that are displayed? HEREIN lies the problem. Because I mean I’ve seen over 6 comments from you on this one video…yikes.
One of the realest segments I have seen from you guys. Imagine thinking a respectful man is less Black because he is not a bad boy…toxic Black masculinity at its worst. Let’s. Do. Better. Please.
Russell Wilson is the epitome of a “MAN, KING, LEADER” the kind of man that would make any woman submit to him because he handles his business as a MAN! Other men could learn from him and not Kevin Samuels.
We need a whole lot more Russell’s in this world, black or white, loving him as a MAN
Russell is the best.. he's classy
Well said, Claudia, and Funky. My brother is such a charming guy, who is the future of the world, and I remember black friends would classify him as he is whitewashed. This bother me for a long time, as it did so far him back then. And these losers are stuck in their life not going anywhere, while my brother is elevated in his life
I agree Claudia. It goes to show how far we’ve moved away from the definition of a man. If he is a womanizer and slanging d from post to post, then that’s a “man” but if he acts with honor and respect and has a legacy, he’s a “simp” That’s a$$ backwards!
He’s doing exactly what he needs and more importantly WANTS to do and i dont know why the world is acting like he wouldn’t punch someone dead in the throat behind he’s wife and kids. I doubt Russel is a punk he’s just been raised well
I agree with all three of you! Especially what Funky said is so true! 💯 Most of us come from broken homes and we don't really know what a "Real Man" looks like or how a man SHOULD treat a woman.
All of us didn't struggle.
All of us didn't come from the hood.
All of us don't see "baby mama" as a badge of honor.
All of us don't want to be for someone else's bag.
All of us don't want a dope boy or be a trap queen.
All of us don't watch real housewives of love and hip hop Atlanta medicine basketball wives!
Boring is a blessing baby! Peace is wonderful!
Ya'll have turned trauma into a standard and it is a sickness at this point!
All of what you said is 💯 💞👏🏽
Boring and Basic and most importantly stress-free and loving it like McDonald's
🙌🏽
Claudia said THAT!!
The problem is there are a lot of peasants calling each other kings and queens that when a real king and queen show up they don't know how to act!
Claudia, you made a good point. My grandfather treated my grandmother like a queen. She had 12 children and was a homemaker. My grandfather was extremely intelligent and dressed so dapper. He held neighborhood Bible Studies, could sing (actually had a group that recorded some singles), and taught us to love our family and live with integrity. It is so sad that these kind of Renaissance men or even just honorable men are not highly esteemed in the media or appreciated by some of us.
Yessssss👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 This is a conversation that’s well overdue and thank all three of you for kicking it off‼️
Absolutely!! Actually I think every black RUclips creater with a platform should be creating content on this serious matter regarding our people and our reckless behavior, instead searching for content to talk about regarding celebrities and lifestyle of the rich and famous, men bashing women and vice versa, who's dating who, etc in my opinion who gives a damn, way to many serious issues going on in the black community that needs addressing, but nobody's willing to tackle the problems in are communities and that is problematic in itself, we are still 50 light years behind, the needle haven't moved much in the past 30yrs with black people, even with those who did made it out, we still remain stagnant as a whole.
@@ladye1777 yes I agree and our collective disease will not fix itself, Time to block out all distractions and have a real conversation.

@@Yt76383 right!! Those of us who isn’t chasing low quality men love Russell!!
@@Yt76383 exactly those comments on Twitter are a small portion of the community and black Twitter doesn't speak for everyone. Celebrities and media personalities breath more life into it.
@@Yt76383 right

@@allthingsmarva I know of a few but for those who does get fooled and you’re right, they dust off and move forward
Claudia ate that right on up! I agree with everything she said. I don't really do the celebrity couples worship but I definitely view Ciara and Russell as couple goals and a healthy marriage. They are a great representation for black love.
Nope she can't say no to rappers but support city girls. She holds bm to a higher standard. Call it both ways.
@@theadvancedforce1017 what are you talking about and what does any of it have to do with what I said?
Russell Wilson is a good man and we need more men to show more love toward their women and children. The men that have a problem with him are lazy and jealous. Like Beyonce said, "it sucks to be you right now."
Better than being a stepfather
I’m black and I hold Russell Wilson to high standards! I support him and his family. ❤️
I was disgusted with her dating Future because I always saw her as entirely too decent for him. She and Russell are great for each other! I just don’t want her to lower herself to be too ratchet with her dancing to be like these other artist, she doesn’t have to do all that.
I agree with your statement, especially the latter. I cringe when I see her twerking on IG, as I believe she’s better than all that. I also know she’s a performer so perhaps it’s to remain relevant in that culture. Not sure, but not necessary.
then perhaps your perception of her is not entirely who she really is. And now that she has gotten very comfortable her inner 'ratchet' is coming out. Russ is too good for her, and lord knows time will soon tell this to be true
@@thebenevolentpatriarch424 I actually believe your response is an opinion not a fact as well…..SO???????
As someone who has never been black enough, Russell makes me happy bc he’s not the stereotype. We’re not all ghetto! The community should embrace Russell.
We’ll said people thinks when they see a black person that we all behave the same way and we don’t. I am constantly told are you mixed? Because your so well spoken and polite. Not all black people are loud, rowdy and ghetto acting .
I wish I could find me a Russell Wilson. He is amazing and loves his family. Some black people need a wake up call. It's really a shame
TAUGHT TOXIC BEHAVIOR NEEDS TO BE UNLEARNED! WE NEED TO ASK HIM TO TEACH HOW GOD WOULD LIKE A FAMILY TO BE! BOTH SPOUSES LOVE ONE ANOTHER, STAYING FAITHFUL, AND SHOWING YOUR CHILDREN HOW LOVING ONE PERSON TRULY IS POSSIBLE! MR. WILSON...WE NEED A CLASS STARTED! BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!
Russell Wilson is the type of guy any mother, or father would want their daughter to date. Let the haters hate. You need haters that's their job.😁 Grant Hill is a good guy, is he not black enough? I love the good guys, and there are a lot in the black community. The bias media feeds these negative narratives to sale spots.
We are a broken people. It’s so sad.
TOTALLY AGREE WITH CLAUDIA. Our community is in an uproar over being racially profiled, but we do it to each other. I’m glad C had the sense to move from Future and get with a man with a code of ethics and a moral compass. We should all be so blessed.
He is who he is. I never think about "how Black he is ". He is successful. He is raising and loving someone else's son and treats his wife with respect. I don't see any reason that any young man (regardless of color) would not look up to him and frankly, women should want a man who represents manhood the way he does. Some call him "corny" but he is the goal. The panel got it right. I don't know anyone who really wants to trade a Russell for a Future. The folks I know, back in the day, may have wanted to sleep with Future but none of them would consider actually trying to settle with him. It's about maturity. Sometimes with (some) men I think it's about setting the bar so low that even a snake could get over it.
apart from signing up to raise someone else's son (that's stupid if you don't have any if your own) I agree with you 100, he is an example many men should aspire to be like. pity our women are choosing to scrape from the bottom of the barrell
@@thebenevolentpatriarch424 Raising another man's son is not stupid if you are married to his mother. In fact, the two will go hand in hand if the woman has two functioning brain cells . Future was a mistake.
I respect the hell outta Russell! They love the “Nick Cannon’s” the “Future’s” the “Diddy’s” the “Benzino’s” and so on! He is what a black man should be! It’s sad that he’s considered “not black” because he’s not ratchet well guess what I’m not either then!
I think every woman deserves a Russell Wilson. I just love him!
Every single day I learn that it's not possible for me to be black😖 It takes a lot of work to be Russell Wilson. It requires introspection & physical/mental/financial discipline. He adds value to society and folks talk negatively against him. It takes ZERO energy to be someone like Future.
Let’s be honest, it’s mainly black men that have a problem with Russell Wilson
Exactly!, they hating
not all, it's only a certain segment. Their voice and opinion have been over exaggerated. The silent majority respects Wilson.
We don’t care about him it’s black women who keep pushing him and jack harlow bro we don’t care
"Russell Wilson is a throwback to how black men used to carry themselves..." Thats a powerful statement. If anything, you would think people would see the example he's being and it would inspire them to want to be better...
Why should I want to be a stepfather?
It makes me sad that men like this aren't respected but the toxic ones are. I grew up in a loving, healthy home, but have encountered men who did not. You can tell who learned toxicity at home and project that onto others.
Well done, and will said. This conversation is way over due and needed to be had. It's time to get it together as a culture.
Ciara is so blessed
I hate that they say the black community when really it's the black men who have issues with Russell
I'm a black man I agree lol brothers be hating on Russell like crazy and idk why that's a great man idk maybe because I was raised by a father
Russel is what we call a MAN. he’s attractive, gentle, respectful, and treats Ciara like aGoddess. Takes care of all the kids. Listen…God please send me a Russel. 🌹❤️
This conversation is so needed. Russell Wilson is amazing and a great role model.
Claudia said it best. He is more like my father when it comes to the way he tried too care fir his family. They barely make them like him.
Russell is 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I wish my mother would’ve been loved on & respected by my father ( her ex husband) the way Russell is with Ciara.
The same reason 30.000 Black people came out in South Carolina and voted for Clyburn who has been in office 30 yrs and his district 6 th is the 6th poorest district in the country. Toxic drinking water, horrible school and etc.
great point. people (especially us) fall for the Okie doke of being satisfied with Black faces in high places and not looking at results.
I didn’t even know that black people supposedly didn’t like him or called him corny. He reminds me of my father and I admire him.
Black men don't question his blackness. His manhood is in question.
They are speaking so much truth on this panel!
Thanks to the panel for articulating this topic so well and saying what needs to be said!
Thank you all for speaking the truth.
I don’t personally know anyone who believes Russell isn’t “black enough” or doesn’t respect him. I feel like those who think negatively of him are far and few. The masses respect Russell 🤷🏽♀️
Its very common to see online unfortunately but in reality he seems to be what all of us should be more of
Loved that this segment spoke positive about those traits in black men. It’s not honored enough in media today.
Who cares what the Black Community Says? What the black community worships is Cardi B and Offset type relationships. Whatever the black culture approves, it would be in ones best interest to do the opposite. Russell Wilson is a great example of what all Black men should aspire to be! Black peoples try to tear down what they are jealous of at times. Nobody was questioning Russell or doubted his Blackness when he was dating that regular looking white woman, he was cool with black men then. The black community really needs to grow mentally and come out of the SUNKEN PLACE.
I was married to a thought, but now I have a Russell and I will always take a gentleman over a stereotype any day...
Everyone is on point well said
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Russell Wilson is an example of an excellent and responsible Black man who should be looked up to.
That's right. You could learn a lot from him when it comes to integrity.
Preach Claudia!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I love Russell Wilson! Lil Future hangs onto him, and loves and admires Russell dearly. You can see it. ❤️
I had a back and forth with a black man who was upset because he took a woman with a child. Claimed that there were lots of childless women for him to choose from. He also claimed that single moms have no value but baby daddies are forever valuable. This logic 😫
Wait, so he actually CHOSE to date a single mom? And now he’s publicly bashing and disrespecting her to you and she’s supposed to be his woman? If that’s true that’s disgusting 🤮
I love the way he treats her. He treats her like a queen, loves his kids, from what we see he is very respectful I love ❤️ it. I would love that versus being treated like a dog.
How come you guys don't care if he's treated like a king also? Seems like you don't really care about his happiness just hers. Which is the problem. It's what he can do for her but never vice versa. Claudia doesn't like rappers but loves city girls? It's confusing.
The whole panel made great remarks.
I will take a respectful man like Russell any day!!! I was never into bad-boys. My father was a good man and worked hard to take care of his family. That was always my choice.
Thank you Claudia, our men definitely was this before the decline of our culture.
Preach Brothers and Sister! In my neighborhood I grew up in they praised the man that goes to jail. I was raised in the church so even when I tried to be “gangsta” I stood out like a sore thumb. I wish OUR ppl would make it cool to be themselves. I was extremely confused and conflicted growing up. Thank God I made it out of the (mental) struggle and I won’t go back!!
James Evans are no where near each other in any parallel...Take It Back. Not only would James Evans never associate with Future, he wouldn't even let him in house. James Evans is Russell. Married, takes care of his kids, loves and protects his family, is really Foine...Future could Never...on any level...in any dimension...on any Earth
My thoughts exactly. James Evans is definitely not in that category.
James Evans definitely would not have Florida twerking.....many ppl get alot of things incorrect due to the toxicity seen so often among the black community...
The character of James was a wholesome man with values that was instilled in the whole family...the wife was humble and carried herself with integrity....etc etc...
James Evans was depicted as a strong black man who protected and loved his family. Yes, take it back!!!
I actually thought that Funky went too far with the Good Times / Claudine (James Earl Jones) remark. I get that Funky was thinking struggle narrative, but James Evans and Roop Marshall were good men...stand up men even. John Amos and Esther Rolle would not have had it any other way. Esther fought to make sure that a father was represented.
Q was about to say, “Not me girl” 😄
From that damn Scared Straight episode 😂😂😂
THANK YOU ALL!☀️
When my dad died,when I was 4. My mom remarried and I had a step dad who treated my mom like a queen. He opened a construction business and raised all of us. I could never have a better dad.
I agree. Let Russell be himself and let's elevate our own standards. If we stop celebrating ratchet, then men like Russell will be the standard.
Dynamic trio, love all three perspectives. No lies told!
Russell holds a mirror to people and their actions. And instead of accepting their flaws, they deflect onto Russell being "corny."
I desire a Russell… he’s “black enough” for someone like me! I don’t see why ppl don’t see him as “black enough” when surely, he’s the epitome of what a black man is… A King!
Kudos guys Totally agree with all of you, we should celebrate Russell. We need to see his example of manhood and family more in our community.
THIS IS SAD. WHEN DID BEING A GOOD MAN IS WHITE. BLACK AMERICA WAKE THE HELL UP AND PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOUR COUNTRY. FOR EXAMPLE YOUR VOTING RIGHTS AND UNDERSTANDING HOW THE GOVERNMENT WORKS.
What if we lived in a world full of men like Russell! I would not be mad!!!!!!!!. ❤️❤️
The low vibrational low hanging fruit are upset because Russell represents the type of man they are not. It strikes their insecurities and inadequatecies, so they feel some type of way. They lash out. I'm not saying Russell and Ciara are perfect, because no person or marriage is, but they display what a healthy relationship is suppose to look like. And if anything, this should be a good example of healthy love for this generation.
Russell Wilson has respect for women period! Women adore him...men hate him because he is a family man that's positive and not in the streets screwing anything & everything with 2 legs...
What? He is... Stop listening and likening low vibrational folks to the Black Community. Tired Rappers male hos, toxic folks, and wannabe thugs are not the Black Community. NAACP and Essence has far outlived the Source Awards...pay Attention.
agreed with all you said, and I understand what you were getting at about the NAACP and essence longevity. However the NAACP and essence has chosen to defend and promote some questionable characters in our community that hurts us as whole. As the gatekeepers in civil rights and Black media, these two entities are not what they started out as. I agree with the point of your statement anyway.
I have said it for years, we are our own worse enemy. If you’re not a swagged out controversial fool, he has no validity. How sad… as I was typing, funky Dineva said it all….we are so dynamic as people because of our variations, we are all not the same. And I totally agree with Claudia. Y’all on point today
Thank You Fox Soul..I thoroughly enjoyed your comments!
