Imagine if you will, you have a son who is about to go off into manhood. You're about to give him advice that you hope will be able to guide him through some of the tribulations young men typically go through. You know, it's the "Birds and the Bees" conversation (also known as "The Talk.") As these talks go, you'll typically tell him things like, "Look a man in the eyes when you shake his hand" or "Shave with the grain, not against it", or things like how to be financially frugal, etc....
More DescriptionImagine if you will, you have a son who is about to go off into manhood. You're about to give him advice that you hope will be able to guide him through some of the tribulations young men typically go through. You know, it's the "Birds and the Bees" conversation (also known as "The Talk.") As these talks go, you'll typically tell him things like, "Look a man in the eyes when you shake his hand" or "Shave with the grain, not against it", or things like how to be financially frugal, etc. But, what if this young man is Black in America? Given the current climate and the injustices that plague our young Black men, that talk would be a little different, wouldn't it? This highly controversial book (That has been banned by many publishers due to its content) covers many topics ranging from relationships with the wrong women to dealing with the many issues that a young Black man will have to deal with in America. It's a compelling and refreshing take on issues that have never have been taken on before. From the misconceptions of Black men (And why everyone hates us.); to when Black men should start making smart financial decisions; to President Obama; to the "real" truth behind Asian reparations and WW 2 and who "really" caused the US's involvement in this war (And who almost caused WW 3!); from corrupt Police to the Central Park Five; to the "real" truth about Blacks and the AIDS epidemic; from racism to the truth about who are the "Real" Native Americans; Jay speaks about topics that everyone who has a young son in America should consider reading. This is really a "Must-Read", especially if you're Black in America!
