Excellent

Finally a black man gets it. I could not stop reading this book. Mr porter backs up his statements with fact. All Black women should consider this book a personal bible. Black women need to understand to overcome sexism and racism we must first love ourselves, fight for ourselves and depend on each other.

Finally, some of our Black men get it

regarding the plight of Black women in America today. Today, we see far more female heads of household than ever before. The whole popular culture attacks Black/biracial Black women on a daily basis and Black/mixed Black women are the fastest growing prison population. This book talks about what people have said in private about Black womens' worsening plight. I hope Americans get a chance to read this book and to meditate, then do something about it because we are losing the fight in the Black community. If this goes on, the community would be only a memory.

MUST READING

No other group in this country has it as bad as the black woman. Let me tell all y'all my brothers even we as black men got it better than our loving sisters. See we might take it from the white man's world but then we come home and sadly all too often we dump on our black woman. Now the black woman she is out there also taking it from the white man & the white woman & she's got nobody to dump on. Know where I'm going here? Look we see the denigration of our Black Sisters in everything from advertising to Hollywood to even porno. Remember this... When they made Charlie's Angels they were going to use Thandie Newton but punked out & took on Lucy Liu instead. See it goes a lil like this: The white woman wants and demands to be the top. She is willing to share it with Latinas to a point and because so many of her men are obessessed with the Asian woman (which have the boyish type of body that the white man in his surrender to homoeroticism has desired and has been trying to force upon his white woman) But the white race will never allow truly the Black Woman on that pedestal. Never! Because our Black Sisters are not only beautiful and truly of the Feminine but they are Strong. The white woman could never withstand the competition. PEACE!

READ & SHARE & SHARE & READ

Mr. Porter is dope. ALL will benefit from his insight and voice. His writes in the tradition of Jawanza Kunjufu and is grounded in the works of bell hooks, M. Ani, Amos Wilson, Angela Davis and F. Cress Welsing. The best thing about this book is that it is written in plain english, explaining all the sociological and political jargon and breaking it down for all to understand!I do believe the book has been mistitled. Maybe he meant to call it the conspiracy to destroy the Black (or African) family. I say this because he makes it clear that the black family's existence is dependant upon not only the freedom of the black man, but is contingent upon the self determination and freedom of the black woman. He is definately gangsta and no holds barred in his convictions but sound and logical in his suggestions for black women (and all women of color)! He is clear on the source of the problem (and it's not black men...ha!)and even addresses other people of color and white women to really review their existence and look at the TRUE source of the problem so they can be free as well.Now Now, do not be mislead........Although this is a necessity for all African people, particularly those in America, all people ready for liberation will cherish this piece.Buy this as a gift to all those who think and who need to think!LearnLuv & LiveLife=Liberation

A Must-Have Book!

Every Black woman living in this country needs to have this book in their possession immediately! This book will indeed explain everything you wanted to know about life but were afraid to ask a man. Thank you Michael Porter for laying out the facts as raw as you did. This is a book that will save your life and enlighten you to progress independently. I couldn't put it down! It's an easy read but it's straight up with no chaser! I highly recommend this book to my sistas out there who want to know the real deal!
