Filmtress: Just because people don't agree with a writer's book does not mean that they were wrong and scholarship is merely one dimension of credibility. Miss Ali recieved major criticism because she took on subject matter than many black people are completely unwilling to face, head on. Its impossible for black women to demand a plan from black men after spending decades claiming that they were strong and going to do everything all by themselves after recieving an avalance of govt assistance.

@pc0p1mp Yes, well as long as a commentor is respectful then I don't mind hearing his opinion. Having said that. I think you're mistakenly thinking that the sisters received a lot of assistence. Often times the assistence is in no way enough to be on her own. In fact it's only enough to buy food while living in the household with another working adult. Believe me the government doesn't want anyone recipient to be well off. They don't. However, I have to address your statement: "by themselves."

Con't #2 - If women had their choice, they wouldn't raise their children by themselves. It's a difficult task. That's why whites always wanted a nanny AND a housekeeper. Black people always did it in a group. The adage: It take a villiage" came out of Africa and it's true. Sisters need help & she wants them to have two parents. However, when her desires fail for that family it's because her plans didn't come through. What is she going to do? Give up her babies? No, she's going to raise them.

Con't #3 - Which means she's not going to abort nor give them to the 'system to raise'. She made a mistake and is looking for the next best option. If she was ever in love with the father but it didn't work out, then somewhere he and she or the court system decided it wasn't a good idea. Also, many sisters will NOT put up with a cheating man, an abusive man, nor a liar or unmotivated man. She's got her hands full and she can't afford to neglect her small children to care for a 'big child' (man).

thank you!!! and what about the 60% of BM who are single. we outnumber them SO that means there are just as many single BM as there are single BW.

and as far as the men on YT. some of them are severly damaged. mentally and spiritually.

thank you again!!!

How about looking a little deeper. DO AN AGE BREAKDOWN! You know, the issue that women ignore anytime they talk about the man shortage myth. There are 106 boys born to every 100 girls. Men die younger than women so we still end up with more total women. How does an age breakdown change these ratios? Demographically young women and older women are two separate issues. Young women have a surplus of men chasing them. They still complain about a lack of men but it's BS.

Govt assistance, just like forced integration, forced medical vaccination, forced education of every concievable kind, forced taxation, forced social security registration, etc, etc, was all merely meant to destabilize people in general. Many things that each and every one of us have been made to think are there to aid and assist us are merely weapons that are meant to destabilize us. There world is an extremely sick, twisted place in its way.

Complete power invariably corrupts completely.

Filmtress: Whether we agree or not I have to commend you on even having the courage and sanity to set your video up to recieve posts and comments, its absolutely stunning how many ignoramuses and mental patients are on youtube with ultra-controversial videos with totally unfounded accusations and videos requesting answers who have their videos set up so that they can screen out people who don't agree with them or who have their videos set up so that people cannot leave comments at all period.

Everything this woman said is true. Young BM I hate to say this but many BW dont need or want us. Search the entire human family if u want a wife. I used to turn down others but I ignored the evidence. I have found a BW and we will get married but it was a hard find. I feel they are more likely than any other group of women to want to be unmarried. Smash partners are everywhere but wives are rare.

[filmtress]

Con't #2 - It seems they kicked up just as much dust about it as the women did when she (Ali) proported to write about them (men). She lost all credibility then. The was so long ago (you're late on that one). As far as "Black Girl Curse" I haven't read but by the sound of it I can tell somebody is trying to make a quick dollar. Many of these writer's lack scholarship. Ali didn't. Seeing the price of it & not hearing about it leads me to believe it doesn't have much credibility either.

@pc0p1mp I've read "The Conspiracy to Destroy Black Women" by Michael Porter. I recommend this book. It points to the challenges dished out by society, the church, politics, Justice System, Educational System, Matrimony (Marriage), even the man she dates. It's a sick situation & a good book. But the one by Shahrazad Ali is a big fat FAIL! She fails to look at blk womens plight realistically. She later made The Black Woman's Guide to Understanding the Black Man." And the Men went BALLISTIC!
