Making A Difference
I think that our community is slowly dying out. The word family does not exist anymore. Our men are falling by the sideway. Our children are growing up without the benefits of a family enviornment. The women are taking on both roles and losing who they are (feminity)because of it. What can we create to help our community grow so that we can help the next generation out.
I cover this topic or ideology in my book entitled "Food for the Soul" available at www.authorhouse.com; www.amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. I believe the reason our roles are reversed, that we assume both roles, stems from slavery as outlined in the Willie Lynch Letter under "The Breaking Process of the African Woman":
"...By her being left alone, unprotected, with the male image destroyed, the ordeal caused her to move from her psychologically dependent state to a frozen, independent state. In this frozen, psychological state of independence, she will raise her male and female offspring in reversed roles. For fear of the young male's life, she will psychologically train him to be mentally weak and dependent, but physically strong. Because she has become psychologically independent, she will train her female offsprings to be psychologically independent..."
We as women have been brought up to be idependent. I've heard my mother even say, "Don't ever rely on a man for anything." We teach our daughters the same. It's no mystery the state of the black man in America... I've outlined his dire circumstances in my book and previous blogs... I think only in recognizing where it stems from and dealing with the harsh realities of our psychological states, only then can we do something about it...
