For years I have heard how the traditional nuclear household is a white ideal and therefore not a part of our authentic black heritage ("keeping it real").  Well, I think I finally have a solution to this conundrum.

I submit to you that the Egyptian (African) dynasties were nuclear households (father, mother, and children).  In fact, not only were the pharonic patriarchal dynasties nuclear households, all great and powerful civilizations were built on the solid foundation of the patriarchal household.

Therefore, we must conclude that the matriarchal model so prevalent in the black community is not only dysfunctional, it is not even authentically black.  This is the model that emerged out of the pathology of slavery and it is high time we abandon it.

He or she who has ears, let them hear.

I await you at the National Conference on Black Illegitimacy and Genocide (facebook group)
