My 18,000 word thesis earned me a Masters of Biblical Studies degree (a wholistic plan to empower low-income black America). I'm here to network for publication and to seek out like-minded African Americans (curtis.hervey@yahoo.com). As a Distinguished Graduate of OCS, I seek to apply battle-tested military principles to solving black pathology by issuing a national warning order. I'm an iconoclast, my doctrine is Washingtonian (as in Booker T.) and my role is that of Socratic Gadfly.
As I sit here and think about it, I must concede that it would appear that the social policy of the last four decades has emasculated the black male.
Think about it: in the pre-1950s era black America, black manhood was defined by a much higher standard. Men took care of the women back then, but today, black male weaklings seek out black owmen with enough low self-esteem that they will actually take care of a grown man! I've seen them in the malls buying expensive "gifts' for their men and proud to do it!
In contemporary black America, black males, especially low-income ones, want surrogate mothers to take care of them. Black malesness has been reduced to empty bravado and machismo that has no substance.
Spineless "men" who are actually effeminat husks of men are actually content to be taken care of by women. Is not the pimp archetype an effeminate male? Pimps want to be pampered and catered to. This is not authentic maleness.
Real men are supposed to be providers and protectors of the homestead. They are not meant to be too weak to head the households they start. And this caraicature has become the primary new "role model" for low-income black males in the black community.
All these "non-custodial" (dead-beat) fathers is a manifestation of the emasculated black male and an cautionary tale for all people groups that allow themselves to be suduce by the State's "lotus roots" that dull the senses. As a result, black America has long since been the Land of the Lotus Eaters, safety sidelined from the institutions of white supremacy, fighting over scraps.
This is a VALUES issue and must be addressed forthwith.
