A requirement foundation for Afrocentricity

I purchased this book about a year ago. I read it in two days, and finally understood the difference between a male, and a man. This is very important always because there are plenty of grown "boys" out there pretending to be men. There is an enormous difference between the two, and Dr. Akbar really sets it straight. Dr. Akbar really lays down a perfect foundation, for an indiviual who is starting their journey in Afrocentricity from a male point of view. This book will make the reader realize that their history didn't start on a boat in the 1600's; like what we are told in "they schools". It is a journey of how to be a man, handle problems like a man, becoming a father, and being true to the old African proverb, that it takes an ENTIRE VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD. It's a short read, but well worth the time invested. A classic must have. Peace!!!!!!!!!

PEACE to the Mentally Awakened who Build

There's alot of deep readings in this thin azz book. Those who read to add-on knowledge. VISIONS FOR BLACK MEN is the foundation for provision. EMPOWER self to IMPROVE SELF. BUILD SUPPORT AND ONLY LEND IT OUT * use good sense and be slective upon build powers * * exclude the savage-men and devil-men *

A message one cannot reject or deny.

I enjoyed "visions for Blackmen" because it had information that one could obtain only through studying and searching. And I am delighted that someone cared enough to dig deep into the need to help free us men (especially us Blackmen) from our destructive lifestyles. We have been disregarding the real purpose in life because of all these distractions that this material world has to offer. Our blindness was intentionally inflicted on us by people that have no respect for the beauty of life and God. If we were accepted as human beings and was taught how to love ourselves, I am sure this problem would not be as devastating as it is. And "Visions for Blackmen" also taught me that we need to see ourselves for who and what we are, and that is love, spirit and strength.

Amazing

This book hits home on so many issues with black men. The scientific but simplistic way he breaks down the actions and habits of the male, boy, and men gives us all a measuring stick of our own personal development. I have read 2 other works of Mr. Akbar but this piece was the quickest, easiest yet most informational and transformational piece I have read in quite a long time. Every black man in America needs to read, internalize, and evauate this book.

A MUST READ FOR ANY BLACK MAN.
