“There are not enough good men, because there are not enough good women”

Black women in todays world are more independent than ever before, or ever allowed for that matter, but is this independent attitude causing problems between the black woman, the black man, and the black child:

You hear it all the time: “I'm A Strong “Independent” Black Woman”, “I Can Do Bad All By Myself”, or “I Do For Self”, or the most common: “I Don't Need A Man”, or maybe it's “God Is My Man”. So with all of these statements of how independent our black women are becoming, and how many of us have seem to have made a pact with mainstream America to do for self, where does this leave our black men? How do you suppose they are feeling in todays world? There is no doubt that Black men in America & within the world, have one of the hardest times maintaining their power, strength, talents, and identity due to continuous degradation, castration, and ridicule, oh yes, it's still happening! Our men and our boys are under constant surveillance and are under constant attack to keep them mentally sedated and unproductive(especially in our school systems), yet our black women seem to complain more to our men on what they are not doing instead of saying to ourselves “What Do “I” Need To Do?”, or “How Can “I” Help You?”, or “Brotha, How Did The World Treat You Today?”. Would it be wrong to step up to the plate first? Is our pride overflowing so much that we do not care enough to be the Isis of the black family and help put our men back together?

Many leave the responsibility of changing how society views our men and how our men treat us solely for our men to bear, as if to say “You Figure It Out, While I Sit Here & Wait”. We are not realizing or do not want to bear the fact that we as black women hold a great, if not greater responsibility to change how our men are seen within the world, how they treat us, and what standards they live by throughout their lives. Some of our women expect the equal rate of growth from our men of that of white men, not realizing that their rate of growth in this society is highly looked down upon and has & still will go as far as to create a planned regimen on how not to let our men rise to the top again and how they will make it seem as though black women have it all figure out...leaving our men in the shadows(can we say Willie Lynch), and whether you like it or not, it is most definitely true and still in full effect in todays time.

If we do not like the video vixens shaking and faking, then we need to stop asking our men to change first, but start first by asking ourselves, and our women to change. We need to start by raising true Gods & Goddess, educating them in the home, mother to daughter, mother to son. Don't dare let the excuse of not having a father around be the reason for our men and our sons falling into a state of under-appreciation. It is an unfortunate truth that many black women are single, however, this single position again brings up the point of how much our women can make the change that we are yearning for. If you are a single mom, with a boy, instead of holding any out-loud grudges, anger, and hurt that you have towards the boys father, channel it to something more positive, find him someone to look up to, teach him about our great men and what they are capable of achieving. Your son does not need to hear you shouting out how his father is a no good bastard. No matter what he has done to you and them, it is so very crucial that we stop sending our young boys these subliminal and outright messages of how our men are no good or not making enough money. Secondly, if you are a single mom raising a little girl, then take the time to grow her individual spirit of womanhood, set within her the way in which she should carry herself as a well respected and beautiful woman.

Sisters...can you not see, that no matter how you flip it, we hold the key to unlocking the door of crisis that our men and our boys are in? Now don't get it twisted here, I am not saying that our men are not responsible for their actions, but I am damn sure that we are the first element in helping them understand how WE want to be seen by SHOWING them, and not chastising them or pointing the finger, or thinking, they should know what we want.

So I ask you, are you your brothers keeper? Will you take the oath of Isis and take up the responsibility and the will to put our men back together, or will you stand back and leave it up to them when they are at their weakest and under attack?

“But as we said before, there is an art in long range economic planning. You must keep your eye and thoughts on the female and the offspring of the horse and the n-word. A brief discourse in offspring development will shed light on the key to sound economic principles. Pay little attention to the generation of original breaking, but concentrate on the future generation. Therefore, if you break the female mother, she will break the offspring in its early years of development and when the offspring is old enough to work, she will deliver it up to you, for her normal female protective tendencies will have been lost in the original breaking process. For example take the case of the wild stud horse, a female horse and an already infant horse and compare the breaking process with two captured n-word males in their natural state, a pregnant n-word woman with her infant offspring. Take the stud horse, break him for limited containment. Completely break the female horse until she becomes very gentle, where as you or anybody can ride her in her comfort. Breed the mare and the stud until you have the desired offspring. Then you can turn the stud to freedom until you need him again. Train the female horse where by she will eat out of your hand, and she will in turn train the infant horse to eat out of your hand also. When it comes to breaking the uncivilized n-word, use the same process, but vary the degree and step up the pressure, so as to do a complete reversal of the mind. Take the meanest and most restless n-word, strip him of his clothes in front of the remaining male n-words, the female, and the n-word infant, tar and feather him, tie each leg to a different horse faced in opposite directions, set him a fire and beat both horses to pull him apart in front of the remaining n-word. The next step is to take a bull whip and beat the remaining n-word male to the point of death, in front of the female and the infant. Don't kill him, but put the fear of god in him, for he can be useful for future breeding.” `- excerpt from the Willie Lynch Letter.
