I Could Not Put This Book Down!

I was so thrilled to get this book. I must thank the author for her profound yet simple and logical insight to the past, present-day and on-going issues affecting black women in America. She tells it like it is and had me from the very first word. Interracial marriage for black women has always been an option, but as the writer so accurately states, we have to wake up and see what is so painfully obvious in our communities. The only real option is to broaden the ones we already have. I am sure there will be naysayers, but the questions the writer asked forces women to do some serious introspection and make the decision to live for them, make better choices and get out of the rut that has kept so many down throughout the decades. This is truly a wakeup call for black women who have been caught up into the subtle and blatant negativity that attacks them at every angle. Dare to recognize game, indoctrination, and the perpetual black female hating playa; and love yourself, expand your options and take a chance at living happy and well. We have the power to guide and direct our hearts and paths towards this end. That is clearly the message I got from this book. I don't think this is a black male bashing book, the writer is just telling truth and facts. Anyone who says different is in denial. The writer does not once categorize all black men, but again, she does outline issue by issue plaguing many black women and the games played by some black men (and other women) to keep them in a dependent and hopeless mindset --- repeating the cycle over and over. The writer shows how this mindset has permeated and soaked our communities and how we fall victim to this way of thinking. She spells out the entire phenomenon and offers true hope if we would only see it. This is a must read and once you get it, you will understand why I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN! Thanks for a wonderfully written book CW. I am getting several as New Years presents for some of my sisters who have yet to realize their potential across racial lines. New Year, New Thinking! When is the next one coming?

THANK GOD FOR THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!

Was beginning to think I was going crazy with all of the reprobate behavior in the average Black community. I also recommend Evia and Saras interracial blogs to gain further perspective. I concur with wondering if some of the other reviewers have even READ.THE.BOOK. Some just may be on the journey to facing their own personal issues!

CW Spares No Truth...

CW spares no truth when it comes to the dating issue with black women. Her book is very honest and pulls no punches. Cw makes a very good point on how the black community machine uses black women instead of helping them. She also does a great job of exposing black men's faults.

A woman with a great mind!!!!

I do have to admit this book is very good and she offers up some pretty good points too!!!!

Pulls No Punches

This book really is going to turn the "BC" on it's head! I read all of it in one greedy gulp. CW makes everything short, sweet, and to the point- pulling no punches. She explains all of the terminology and destroys every single myth, straw, man and scare tactic used to keep BW in their place. This is a must read for all American Black women.
