Reader Be Warned: My Opinion is NOT the "norm"

When I was in my dating phase a few years ago, I ran across two guys that lived in two different states who happened to have the same logic of being a "hot commodity" on the dating market. Both of these men explained to me that they were a "hot commodity". They both were single black men who obtained a college education, gainfully employed, had no kids, never been married, did not live with their parents and had their own dependable ride.
I was very puzzled the first time I heard this explanation of how this labeled him as a "hot commodity". I thought all of these were characteristics and/or accomplishments of a grown ass man. I expressed that and was informed that it is not the characteristics and/or accomplishments of the average black man. So this, in turn made him a "hot commodity". By the second time I heard this, with the exact same explanation, I had to ask the second guy where he obtained this information. I asked was there a group for black males where this information was being shared. He laughed and told me "No, it's just known that the average black man does not have these qualities". Needless to say,over five years later, these two hot commodities are still sitting on the shelf with all of their qualities/characteristics/accomplishments. They are both still single black males who are educated, gainfully employed, have no kids, never been married, do not live with their parents (although one has a male roommate), and have a dependable ride. I think it's time they check their shelf life because a hot commodity doesn't stay on the shelf very long.
