Now their sons are a bunch of emotionally driven illogical effeminate men who doesn't lead and protect. They had no guidance and structure in the household that the men would give them in the household and thus you see a chaotic community today. Look at the amount of homosexual men running around now.

Even as a non citizen I can see that this woman was right and she rings true to this day.

[@suciojay1604]

I’m from NYC and remember this book being so divisive in my HS classroom discussions in both my AP English and Debate classes. Girls back then were apoplectic about its message except for the one Muslim girl. I was too young and naive to know at the time, but she was so right on the mark. I started to realize what she was alluding to when I was in my late 20’s a few years later and had some relationship experience. Now in my 40’s and married for a number of years, she nailed every ailment of the Black community I’ve seen across multiple states that I’ve lived. Truly ahead of her time. Academic and career aspirations, and the abundance of opportunities afforded women today have exasperated an already corrosive behavior in our women. The air of superiority and competition with the good men they presume to want and need erodes the family unit, and the family unit is the building block of the community at large.

Why do you think that is? Fear of us, if ALL blacks united as we should, we would take over this world. They even know the power we truly possess to get things done. That's why you would see non blacks come on a post such as this and give their irrelevant opinions to throw us off focus on who we truly are.

20 yrs later, we still are the only race that can not build anything of worth without tearing it too pieces, including a black family home (and i say that as a majority not the minority of homes in america). the role of the black man is truly vital in raising a black family. if you raise a strong black man from birth he will truly know how to lead a household and respect his woman correctly, this can be done by a woman raising the child/ren but more effectively done by both parents in the home.
