"Sisters decry the shortage of good men and say there is
no way she is settling for less than a good Black man. Not
just a good one, but the BEST one: Denzel Washington. She,
of course, has no idea what that means, what she wants or
what a good Black man truly looks like." –from The Denzel
Principle
The Denzel Principle is the
belief that the perfect man—in the form of Denzel
Washington—actually exists off screen and that all Black
women can snag a Denzel of their very own. So what
does your very own Denzel look like? Well, he’s rich but
earthy, handsome but not pretty, doting but not docile,
tough but vulnerable, political but not radical, passionate
but not hysterical, ambitious but not overbearing, well-read
but not nerdy, manly but not macho, gentle but not feminine,
Black but not militant, sexy but not solicitous, flirtatious
but particular...and all that on cue and in proper
measure. Award winning reporter and cultural critic,
jimi izrael offers to set the record straight – from a
regular guy’s point of view. The Denzel Principle is
straight talk on everything from "Ways Women Can Break the
Hold of the Dizzle," "Ways to Attract Mr. Right," to "Ten
Reasons to Love Ordinary Black Men" and so much more.
