THUGS VS. NICE GUYS (AMWD)

By Reggie Farley

What’s the deal with women today? I mean I respect the whole feminist movement and all….(sort of). But I had a conversation at lunch with a couple of single black females. My ex-girl friend was amongst these females. She asked me, “what is it with you “black males nowadays”? I asked her, what do mean? I didn’t even understand where she was going with the question at first. Then her females friends pounced on me like white on bread. “Where are all the good black men?”, they kept asking! Now as Reggie Farley, I grew up in a healthy home with a mom and a dad. My mother raised me to be kind to women. I don’t think I’m a thug or a jerk of a guy. So naturally, I wave at all the ladies saying, “hello, right here!”. So they look at me and laugh! But they continue to complain that there aren’t enough good black men around. They go on to complain that thugs are destroying black families in America. Here’s where I started to get a little angry. How can you blame thugs solely for such a wide spread problem. I think problems in the black community transcend that of just thugs. The females fought back with accusations of deadbeats and out of wed lock marriage. Both issues which are clearly present not only in black families, but almost all other races! They continued about “good guys” being rare or already “taken” or turning to the “dark side”. Now keep in mind, these are the same chicks that laughed at me when I said I was available (and anyone who knows me can tell you that I’m not a thug). I knew these women! Now I have nothing against thugs…Its just that, I knew these girls growing up. They dated thug like guys that didn’t treat them the way a “nice guy” would treat them. I just find it very funny that when the thugs are done with them, they come running to “nice guys” like me. Actually, I find it kind of insulting. Nice guys always get stuck with leftovers (No offense). While thugs get the hottest chicks of the flock! Maybe it’s true that nice guys do finish last. Maybe I should dress like a rapper and get thugged out? Maybe I should turn to the dark side???

How You Can Join Timberland in Helping Haiti

The shock of the recent 7.0 earthquake in Haiti is being felt around the world.

We wait now for news of both damage and survivors … we pray for those whose lives and families have been devastated … and we unite, in concern and compassion and with a desire to do whatever we can to contribute to the relief and recovery Haiti and its community desperately and urgently need.

Waiting is unavoidable. Praying is, for many, instinctive. But uniting in common concern and acting, in hopes of turning devastation into renewal, is where our greatest power now lies.

A few months back, Timberland announced its partnership with Yéle Haiti (http://www.yele.org/) – a grassroots movement that builds global awareness for Haiti while transforming the country through educational, cultural and environmental programs. At the time, the vision for our partnership with Yele Haiti was one of reforestation – building a tree nursery in Gonaives , a city in northern Haiti devastated by a series of hurricanes and storms; enlisting local farmers to maintain it; and using the trees grown there to reforest the hillsides surrounding the city.

Yesterday afternoon, our partnership with Yele Haiti took a dramatic and unexpected turn. Many communities in the island nation have been reduced to rubble … and instead of focusing on ways to positively transform those communities, Yele Haiti today is mobilizing medical and emergency supplies to provide them critical relief.

As part of our partnership with Yele Haiti, Timberland makes a donation to the organization for every pair of Earthkeepers™ Yele Haiti boots and every Yele Haiti t-shirt that we sell. While the original intent for that donation was to support Haiti’s reforestation, we’re now rededicating our efforts – and our donation – to the country’s earthquake relief.

It is good intent and good effort … but undoubtedly not enough. Should you wish to contribute personally to the massive relief effort underway, this link will allow you to donate directly to the Yéle Haiti organization. You can also donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund by texting the word “yele” to 501501.

While the enormity of this earthquake has left destruction beyond comprehension, the will, spirit and soul of people around the globe who are willing to help a nation in need will equally astound. Together, we can and will help Haiti and its people heal, strengthen and recover.

Jeff Swartz
President & CEO, Timberland
