This book written by Earl Ofari Hutchinson in the 90's but is still somewhat relevant today. Earl clearly has all these emotions balled up and is releasing them (more like lashing out) in this novel. I can honestly say that even though what he is saying comes off a bit harsh (or real if you would) its SOO true!
Some of you may be wondering why am I reading this book but, I think it helps put several things into perspective!
Today, unlike 1995, Black men aren't seen as a threat to society as much but racism is still prevalent in our communities! Maybe now Barack Obama is president, people will stop trying to make it seem like black men are the only race of men committing all the crimes in our neighborhoods!
I can go on and on about this (I know, I know) but I really want to say that black women (some of course not all) have adopted the same ideas about back men that the media has. Part of it is the media's fault but lets stand behind our men ladies... and men, black men, give us a reason to stand behind you! Please!
(I'm going to be blogging about several books in the upcoming months... I bought like a MILLION books and been trying to catch up on any and EVERY book I've ever said I wanted to read)
Coming soon...Rich Dad, Poor Dad (read this book and you will understand my next big and upcoming project). Eat, Drink and Be Gorgeous (looooves it!) And Your Best Life Now!
