Man Up!

Written by Darryl James
Wednesday, 06 February 2008
One of the most frustrating things to deal with as a Black man is listening to Black women talk about what a "real man" is supposed to be or do. Typically, when those discussions come up, they begin with "If you were a REAL man..." and are in reference to things that the women want from the men, based purely on desire, not on anything real. And, those discussions are never based on anything that comes from men or discussions with men. In fact, a group of us jokingly search for the "Book of Real Man" that these women must have read.

The Pew Study: Black Pathology or the Legitimization of Mainstream Colorblindness?

Written by Anthony Asadullah Samad, Ph.D.
Thursday, 06 December 2007
Anthony Asadullah Samad, Ph.D. It's been a few weeks since the Pew Research Center released its "social and demographic trends report" on Blacks' perception of black progress. More interesting than the usual feedback on the pathology of "doom and gloom" rooted in black socio-economic reality, is the virtual silence about the study's multi-racial analysis of the state of black decline. Whether that decline is perceived or real (and it is more real than perception), the study is just not a survey of Blacks' assessment on the State of Black America and the growing intra-race gaps between the poor and middle class. It's also a study on the hidden attitudes about the state of Black America that turn a blind eye to historical disparities. Read More Add Comment (0) Hits: 479
