Top 5 Reasons to Love Black Men

I encourage you to type “#BlackMenLove” into your favorite search engine for a surprising result.

In today’s society the majority of what’s said about Black men isn’t flattering and leaves out really important facts. I know, because as a Black man and BMe Community Manager in Philadelphia, I have pretty much heard them all.

So this Labor Day, I want to share five documented reasons to love Black men. There are so many more but this is a good start:

5. They’re enterprising.

  • Last surveyed in 2008, Black people were entering the firm creation process at nearly twice the national average with men making up more than 60% of active entrepreneurs. Source: Reynolds, P. & Curtin, R.

4. They’re influential.

3. They’re generous.

2. They’re educated.

1. They’re LOVING!

  • Among fathers who live with their children, Black fathers (70%) are most likely to have bathed, dressed, diapered, or helped their children use the toilet every day. Source: NIH 2013 National Health Statistics Report.
