A beautiful message of raw and essential truth, I was raised by a man whom i did not know wasnt my natural father until ten yrs after his death. With all the quarrelsome issues between him and my mother, My true origin was never made a issue. That is a peculiar and extraordinary "Father force" that helped shape and preserve me in the killing fields of North America. Even,I as a father for a brief time before tragedy struck I aspired to emulate that same beautiful Father Force. Good Post.

true, but alot of good black men get passed up for the trouble makers. Go to any high school, and the good black kid, studying and respectfull can't get a single date, because these girls are too busy running after the dudes coming into class with their radios full volume, rapping along while drunk, stinking of weed. It's both ways, I love my sistahs, but unu love too much play the victim.

This video is one of those things that makes me thankful for my father being hard on me as a kid. He shaped me into the man I am today because he was a true Father Force.

@49jubilee I love it also when men teach their sons how to use tools, and work on cars, etc; they could teach their daughters too how to change a tire BUT you shouldn't have boys and girls compete against each other--so they BOTH could be strong

I'm glad there are guys like Akbar, tellin it like it is.. Also,black men need to raise and enjoy their sons. What i see,even when a black man is in the home, is a guy who is a 'little too harsh', or too loose..Black dads, if they have time, could be scoutmasters in the BSA once in a while and have positive masculine pursuits with their sons and show neighborhood sons how to build a treehouse (if there are trees) or pitch a tent. etc.

I agree that we as a ppl need to change. black women need to decide what they will accept and not accept and stick to it....like they say behind every good man is a good woman. some men NEED a woman's help, however soooo many women/girls never had a father to show them what they NEED, so the cycle repeats.....HOWEVER there is hope because u have wonderful black men like the Dr. that are doing the research and sharing the results with the ppl. All you have to do is utilize the info!!

I agree with Akbar....... We have so many deadbeat dad today, it really sad.

Baba Na'im Akbar inspires African people to know who we are, where we originated from etc; he knows how to uplift our brothers to teach our boys how to men.
