Just in closing, I wanted to touch on something that touched on earlier today in one of the questions that came in, and it was just about appreciation and how this woman just was upset with her husband because he comes in and he complains about his job, and he wanted her to acknowledge that, and he wanted her to understand how hard he was working. And he was talking about how hard it is for a black man out here to work in the atmosphere that we have to work in. It's not saying that black women don't work in the same atmosphere. There is a difference between the two. And she says, well, I tuned him out, but I've been imploring him to just go get another job. Why don't he do that? Well, it's not that easy out there to just go get another job with the benefits, with the seniority, with the same amount of pay. You know, he may be at an age where they don't hire people of his age anymore, forty and stuff like that. So it's a lot to consider. But let's not overlook the basic problem that his brother had when he wanted. All he wanted from his woman was to validate him. All he wanted was appreciation. And I'm going to say something. I'm speaking for all men right now. Most men leave this world underappreciated. All of my true friends are my age. They all feel this way, they all have felt this. Just being a man, a husband, and a father is really really a thankless job. It's really really tough man. And I'm not saying it's not tough for women, because it is. But let's just look at let's take for example, Mother's Day versus Father's Day. That right there shows you the level and the effort that men, boys have to put forth to show their appreciation for their mothers, and as they should. It is a well deserved title. You only get one mama, and I understand it, But fathers don't get that same type of recognition. Now, is it because you think we mean and were supposed to be tough and we're supposed to just suck it up and deal with it because that's what we do every day. But don't you know how much it would mean to your man if you just appreciated him, if you showed it to him, if you told it to him. You know how much it would mean to your man if you would talk to your kids and say, go in down and tell your father thank you, because that man bring it in here every day and he just show up sick, well off, whatever, and he keep putting it in. Do you know what that would mean to that man? Do you know how many times you are your man has had to help your family, or your man has had to help some other people, and it goes without thanks and appreciation, and it wears on a man. The sad thing about being a man is we don't really get You don't really know how value you are and how much you appreciate it until you gone, and we got to stop that. I just think we have to stop that now. I'm speaking up on behalf of men because I've been in that position many times where I just felt unappreciated. I have, and you can look at what I have and think that ought to fix it and compensate for it, but it don't because there's nothing like appreciation. And I'm gonna tell you this again, ladies, most men leave this world feeling underappreciated, and you just don't know what it would mean to him if everybody gathered around him and just told him thank you, if it just did some kind for the man, if you just had you have your damn kids call they dad every now and say, hey, man, look, I know you don't have to do what you're doing, but I show appreciate it. I'm talking from experience, too, but I'm talking because I know all of my friends feel the exact same way. I could tell you right now on this show that Junior and Tommy feel the exact same way. They just do. Man, But it don't look good when we complain about it, because just like the lady said in the letter, I've tuned him out. Why don't he just go get another job, because you don't know what it's like, because you don't understand, as a black man, what this is to go out there in this world afterday and bite your tongue and deal with the things you deal with, and then to come home and not get no reinforcement, not have a place to get our battery recharged. And then we got to turn around and go right back out there again and produce again and bring that check home again. And ain't nobody clapping for us, ain't nobody cheering us home, and ain't nobody appreciating us? And that's gonna get old. Ladies, do your man a favor. Gather everybody else that's ever he's ever done something for and tell them to appreciate your fail even if you do it, tell everybody else get anything. It would mean a lot to them.
