      Wise are you! Keep learning and seeking out the Truth- not only for navigating this current world but spiritually- Seek The Most High God and his Truth- ( His Laws which are found in the first 5 books of the Bible) remain in place to this day and if you can learn and apply that to your life you will understand you have it all by inheritance.
      Love to you and your family and May you be blessed by The Truth.

      You are lucky and blessed to have found him while in the midst of raising your son. I didn't hear of these things until mine were raised. My son turned out ok as he went to Duke on a full academic scholarship and is now an engineer. However if I knew then, what I know NOW. He'd be a Conscious engineer. You only get ONE chance to raise your children. I tell him what I can now but it's not the same impact. The only way adults become enlightened is because they WANT to and are searching OR life slaps them upside the head...lol. I was the latter. Better late than never in this case.

      The reason you have so many black women saying they don’t need a man is because unfortunately many black men have taken in this European view of male female relationships
      This view is one of I’m the man I’m superior you’re the woman you are inferior.”Where is it is my understanding that a mini African relationships men and women definitely have different roles, but the women’s role is not degraded. This is a big part of the reason black women Are kind of doing their own thing. It is exacerbated by white So-called feminist women, encouraging black women to be single and single mothers.

These same tactics are applied towards society as a whole regardless of race. Its about time with the technology we have at our fingertips we stop playing the victim card and do what ever it is we dream to do. In todays era the only thing holding us back is our self and lack of confidence that we can do ANYTHING if we put our mind to it. May I ask if you are a democrat?

      It is heartbreaking. The advancing damage of white male supremacy ideology that has perfected the School to Prison Pipeline is truly a stage 4 cancer to humanity and the Earth itself. The destruction of Black boys destroys our ability to have strong healthy-minded Black Men to counter white male supremacy and protect, love, respect and understand Black Women and children culturally. Instead, too many of us are deeply harmed, raped, beat, and abused by both the system of white male supremacy and by sick Black males who never developed into Men, thus we are further disabled to raise Black males and the cycle continues. Black males MUST HEAL themselves and each other as they do the WORK to RAISE UP our Black boys in order to END this insane cycle!

      Ken Because he mentioned homosexuality. He wasn’t mean, but rather spoke facts. They have lumped Africana-Studies along with Gender Studies in many institutions... An alpha black male is a threat to white supremacy-itself the harlot mother of so called gender studies. Do your research and you’ll see I’m right.

      Eduardo Muñoz No that’s not why. He literally said that his show had just started at that point so it couldn’t be counted in the context in which he was speaking just yet because there wasn’t enough data or assessment gathered from it. But the reality is, the cosby show ended up being a positive image and ideal for the black community back then. My parents learned a lot from the cosby show in the 80s and it made my childhood even more productive and positively reinforced. Also, in another video, he actually eludes to the benefits of the cosby show and the positive image it portrayed. It was the epitome of what he felt should have been promoted instead of the other shows he mentioned later in the video. You must separate the man Bill Cosby from the show The Cosby Show. Two different things.

    I raised 5 Men a single mother. I did my best to talk to them about the world is, and what it offers. I played basketballand wrestled them, I taught to drive and how to use a gun to protect, their family. I tried to explore their world by being among them with their friends. By default, I became a substitute mother for a lot of other boys in the neighborhood! I took my boys to church and I even had Jehovah Witnesses teach them in my home. I was a fixture in their schools, selling hot dogs at football games and wrote the graduation speech for my son, who was President of his class! I got a Big Brother for the one son who had his eyes on street activity. I enrolled them into the Police Cadets and Navel Cadets, and the Black Urban League. I took them
    canoeing and the Serengeti Ball Room. On the Boblo Boat, we together, won a break dance contest! I taught them about their bodies and girls. I talked until " I talked to them until I was blue in the face!, my son said as he was making a choice to join a gang I followed him out there and became their friend. I realized that they just wanted someone to hear them. But, I had to work to take care of them. The street and peer pressure began to come into my home. I got them enrolled at Wayne State, Eastern Michigan, Henry Ford, Oakland Universities. They just didn't have a MAN to show them the way. I am very proud that they are all upstanding people, however, I can still see what the absence of their father has done. They lack the will to take the Big Steps that Men do.

      The reason why that is an impossibility is due to black girls. Ya see little black girls & teens worship athletic black men. How many girls show admiration, or speak highly of an intelligent black man? Little to none.
      Young brothas see black sistas overlook disrespect look down on and become instantly turned off by a highly intelligent brotha. So the vast majority of young brothas vow never to become a highly intelligent brotha. There are even some gangstas who were born with Genius or gifted intellect, yet they hid it for most of they’re life bcuz that’s not what gets the panties wet.

    Being a 30 year old black man who was left to raise and educate himself on how to be a man through an immense amount of trial and error, I can appreciate this lecture because not only does it hit home, it gives me more insight on a struggle that me and many of my contemporaries failed to understand at the time it was most important to be perceived. It took me flipping through different hats and personas throughout my whole 20s to just now begin to understand these things and its a kind of bitter sweet thing that I have the wisdom and proper information diet to come across videos such as this at 30 years of age instead of earlier on in my life.

    I have had black male students tell me that people think they talk “white.” When I ask them to define that for me they say things like educated, proper, respectful, etc. When I ask them to define what talking black means they say the opposite. We have had some really deep discussions about what that belief implies. Educated is educated. Education, respect, intelligence, and dignity do not have a color. From many of our discussions, I believe that what many of these young people feel to be “black enough” they have to embrace behavior that will not lead to success. It is a subtle lie, but it is a destructive one.

    My son is 40 years old now. When he was in the 6th grade, I gave this book to his teacher because I felt like my son was being targeted. I came to his school one day but I didn’t let his teacher know that I was coming. So I peeped in his classroom. When the white kids acted a fool, I saw the teacher pull those students aside and nicely talked to those white kids. The white kids still sassed the teacher. The teacher ignored the situation. On another note, I saw that same teacher Scold the black kids in a negative manner, and that's why I gave her this book. She was very apologetic and said that that wasn't her intention. She was called out on her negative behavior on the black kids. I don't condone bad behavior and my son knew this. On numerous times i saw my son portraying to be the class clown. I scold him in front of his whole classroom. His dad took off his belt in fron of the classroom but the principal told him that he couldn't. So yes we disciplined our son.

      Yeah we had plenty of people like Dr. Umar but, There was no Internet in 1987 it was hard to get ideas out to the masses of the people with this Internet we’re living in interesting times.
