Stop Running from The Issue

Black women are now extremely obvious in displaying their hatred of black men as they pass by they in public! Some roll their eyes at men they don't even know, while some make grunting sounds and some are vocal in saying a black man ain't 'nothing'. Black men are being blamed for white women being the standard of beauty in America. Black men never made black women ride in the back of the bus. Black women have forgotten who the real enemy is. She's become bitter and that only makes her less and less appealing to men period. The book is worth reading, it's time for a follow-up book. Listen to 'Sergeant Willie Pete' on youtube as he has hundreds of videos on this topic!

Takes black relations to another level...

Do Black Women Hate Black Men? This book was very interesting in such a way that forces you to question your own beliefs about black relations in America. The problem isn't so much that Black women hate Black men but the fact that many of the issues that plague both parties stem from the foundations of slavery. Over all, this book was worth every hour of my time and effort.

A wake up read

This book throws a lot of rocks into the crowd, had a lot of my fraterity brothers talking and hit a lot of us and the black women that we know and date. Although it was writen sometime ago, it is certainly current and right on with many of our relationships today. It reads almost like a prophecy in terms of many black men and black women relationships today and what is going on in serious dating, especially Internet relationships. We,the frat brothers that I have talk with that read the book, were particularly impressed with the solutions that were outlined. I give it a big thumbs up.

Dark, Real but true.

After hearing about this book on several talk radio programs including Tom Joyer,I decided to take a look at it myself. I wasn't disappointed. It is an easy read, well written but most of all it is refreshing to see the truth examined and told on both sides for the black man and the black woman. The author from his interviews and focus groups, early on, make it clear that most black women don't hate black men but that both show destructive behavior and anomosity toward each. He turns the heat up in the kitchen on certain types of black women and men which will push your emtional buttons but then one has to admitt that we all know many who fit these and many who are in denial but act out these very roles in their relatioships. I found the book to be pragmatic and realistic but more importantly I found his predictions about our relationships becoming true today. Noticably absent and somewhat disappointing was any discussion about black men and white women but I gave him a paas on this since the book's primary focus was only on black men and black women. Although not as emotionally challenging I also like the second half of the book which focused on solutions and what can be done to better our relationships. He cites several programs and techiques that are beginning to be used to help the black male cope with the black female and vice versa. For understanding how black men and black women are disconnected, I think this book is a must read for a snapshop of our future.

Great Book

I loved this book....It first caught my eye because of the title...but it is truly a play on words. It does not bash men, and if that is all you get from it...it really is too bad. It talks about the short falls of men & women, both sexes receive the blame for their actions. What I also enjoyed was his suggestions on how we could learn from the past, heal and move forward in unity. Must read!
