The Blackman's Guide to Understanding the Blackwoman

This is a prescient work that has NOT lost its relevance. In fact, it is more relevant today, 2020. Be patient with me here, as an avid viewer of AMJoy on MSNBC I have ended the routine of watching the show on Sundays and Saturdays. On a 9/15/2020 show, in a particular segment, there were all Black female guests including the host Tiffany Cross who celebrated their success in impressing upon Joe Biden to choose a Black woman as his VP. I was struck by the fact that there were no Black male guests. Why? Did any Black men of consequence support this choice? What about Congressman Cedric Richmond who according to insiders in the campaign was invaluable to this historic choice. By the end of the segment, one of the guests uncomfortably stated that they can't forget the efforts of Black men who actively supported this conclusion and who laid the foundation for this choice to be made. The look on the women's faces was interesting almost awkward. She mentioned a little known fact that Jessie Jackson in his presidential run was clear that if he won the nomination his VP would be a Black woman which lead to Mondale picking Geraldine Ferraro as an attempt to upend Jessie Jackson.The newly disparate journey between Black men and women with the goal of liberation isn't sustainable. The gap has widened significantly since the publishing of this monumental book. It documents a narrative of dysfunctionality between the Black man and woman as a consequential effect of the culture that was slavery. If this book is interpreted as a blatant attack on Black women, one is ignoring the true culprit which initiated and maintains conditions that are a catalyst to the destruction of Black families, oppression. The narrative isn't a description of all Black women, but I would anecdotally surmise that it is a scarily accurate characterization of the mindset of many. This is a must-read if Black people are to traverse the impediments that are almost built into them. Avoiding and NOT confronting the demon in the closet will only serve to enhance the strength of that demon.We must not forget that the author also wrote a second book directed at the Black man's shortcomings which were just as blistering but candid as this one. I would further recommend viewing her videos on YouTube; they are enlightening and expound specifically on the issues at hand no less relevant today.

THIS BOOK IS NOTHING LESS THAN EXCELLENT AND GREATLY SURPASSED MY EXPECTATIONS! I SAW ONE OF HER SPEECHES ON YOUTUBE AND DECIDED TO CHECK IT OUT AND I AM GLAD I DID! IT IS RARE THAT I AGREE WITH AN AUTHOR 100% AND I ONLY DISAGREED WITH ONE POINT IN THE WHOLE BOOK. THE HIT 'EM IN THE MOUTH PART! I PREFER NOT TO DEAL WITH WOMEN THAT MAKE ME WANT TO GET VIOLENT AND IF I HAPPEN TO END UP IN THAT SITUATION ANYWAY, I FEEL THAT WALKING AWAY OR SHAKING A WOMAN IS BETTER THAN POPPING HER IN THE MOUTH. OTHER THAN THAT, THIS BOOK IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! IT INSPIRES ME TO BE A BETTER MAN AS WELL AS MAKING ME LESS BIASED ABOUT BLACK WOMEN, AND IT GIVES ME DEEPER INSIGHT INTO THEIR MINDSTATES AND EMOTIONS IN A WAY THAT I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE! THIS BOOK SHOULD BE REQUIRED READING FOR ANY STUDY GROUP WORKING TO DEVELOP OUR PEOPLE! YOU CAN SENSE HOW MUCH SHE LOVES ALL BLACK PEOPLE ON EVERY PAGE! SHARAZAD ALI IS A QUEEN AND WE SHOULD ALL BE GRATEFUL FOR HER INTELLIGENCE AND COURAGE FOR ATTACKING ONE OF OUR MAIN PROBLEMS AS A PEOPLE, HEAD ON! IF WE AS A PEOPLE AGREED TO UTILIZE THE BATTLE PLANS THAT SHE LAYS OUT IN THIS BOOK, THEN WE WOULD BE ON THE FAST-TRACK TO IMPROVED RELATIONSHIPS, FAMILY LIFE, COMMUNINITES, AND EVEN NATIONHOOD FOR GENERATIONS TO COME! A NECESSARY READ!

I thought it a bit verbose in the beginning. But as I read more, the insight was breathtaking. This is a must read for every Black person. You don't have to agree with everything, but it should be required reading for any race or nation that wants to establish independence and hegemony.I actually do not think that the behaviors described are just for Blacks. Any race can benefit from the advice. These ideas NEED to be highlighted because every society that has achieved prominence has followed such principles in their climb to power, when they decline they throw away those disciplines of gender duties.White society is probably too far gone, but Blacks are in such a predicament that they may be ready to listen to an alternative view. The modern black feminist and welfare queens are not natural to this world. They are creations of government. The modern welfare state with its emphasis on removal of males from households so that the state can assume that role in conjunction with the male hate, emasculation and denigration of males is what has put the African American community in the shape that it is in.The experiment is over. The results are in. Look at the black community in America. Can we now admit, that the Black Man needs to assume his proper role as leader and provider?
