A question was asked recently by a young Black woman: “why are so many of my friends’ single moms?” After a slew of hypothesis from the gathering group, and the blame passed around to every possible component comprising humanity, the final answer was summed up in a broad generalization equal to the phrase, “I don’t know.”...[More]

The only significant result of integration is that Black men can now whistle at, date, have sex with, procreate, and marry White women and that is making my life, as a Black woman, much harder....[More]

It must be so sweet being a Black woman today, with all the government and corporate support, media promotion about successes and overcomings, and rapper and athlete dedication to mamas everywhere. Black men and the Black race as a people should be so proud even despite the statistical set backs to Black men and children who rank high in prisons and urban poverty....[More]

This Temple, this vessel, this vehicle, this house, I reside in is full of bondage, and I am Being held hostage and Being terrorized. This is a haunted place inside of me. The enemies surround me. They are making plans to put my head on the chopping block and Behead me.......[more]

What Is A Man

Society seems to have lost focus as to what a man is. They have allowed the media and the pressures of feminist organizations to define manhood and too many men have accepted this definition as standard behavior. Men themselves have created their own definitions of what a man is to be, but there are many trials in life that will challenge that definition proving otherwise.......[more]

Today there are many single women over the age of thirty. The 2000 Census Bureau recorded that 2,219,489 women between the ages of 30 and 34 have never married.......[more]

To All Black Women

Current mainstream studies suggest that Black women in America are becoming a more useful resource than her counterpart, the Black man, and many Black women engage this theory and subconsciously use it as a springboard to independence: Independence from her Black man, which liberates her from her position in the Black family.......[more]

To All Black Men

The Black man in America is a unique man, unique as in exceptional. Exceptional because we are born into an obscured restraint with lottery odds maintained by a control factor: that control factor being the protected ego of the white male who seeks to preserve his eminence in society.........[more]

Are Sisters On The Down Low?
By E. Lee Sullivan

This millennium has ushered in a vast number of articles on and about a relatively new catch phrase "Down Low" or "DL", that decades old lifestyle, (if not centuries old). It's been no secret that for an awful long time men have been sleeping with other men while perpetrating a fraud that they were heterosexual. Some were even married with wives who appeared clueless. Men on the other hand, in the past, have revealed that they could spot a "closet sissy"; it's just that those conversations were "closeted"........[more]

The Female Scale of Wants and Needs

Over the past 3 decades, the social, educational, and economic position of women have changed to reflect their demands concerning equal opportunity; however, have these changes satisfied their needs. Biologically, the genders have specific traits, which include physical abilities and psychological wants and needs. But the recent women's movement would rather that society not look at gender on biological terms..........[more]

On The Origins of Homosexuality: A Bit of Black Philosophy

Before American scientist and scholars decide to link the practice of homosexuality to the origins of Africa, we at Afromerica want to be the first to implant thoughts into Black minds that will protect against such fallacies. You see, American trendsetters and gatekeepers, by way of scholars who write our textbooks, publish studies in mainstream media magazines and who televise nationally during prime-time hours, love the powers of implication: whereby they attribute everything negative and immoral to either the behavior of Black-America and/or to the origins of Africa.........[more]

The True Soul of the Black Woman

There are two images of the modern black woman, but there is only one unified soul of the black woman in general. Independence is one image that has tamed the black woman into a loyal civilian of American culture. Promiscuity is the other image that has claimed the remorse of the black woman who is unfamiliar with independence. The influences that power each are, of course, the male species' definition of the modern woman, whether black or white........[more]

The Feminization of America

The women's movement has changed America tremendously. From the days of the traditional family unto now, the state of gender roles, child rearing, and overall social behavior are part of a chain reaction in America that not many people can connect or will even acknowledge exist. The connection is a simple matter of observing cultural change over time, and acknowledging the reaction to the changes is a matter of admitting the truth. This article will address the cause and effects of cultural change in America brought on by the women's movement.......[more]

Fake Hair, Nails, Attitude

What has gotten into the minds of Black women? Not that there is not a problem with all women as it pertains to fakeness, such as breast, butts, and lips, but specifically Black women and the hair and nails thing.....[more]

Men Haters: Why and What to Do

Let's Do Away with the Black Man
By using his woman

Besides murdering, lynching, imprisoning, and disenfranchising Black men in America, another way to eliminate the Black man is to elevate his woman over him. If a Black man is discrete enough not to get murdered, strong enough not to be lynched, honest enough not to get jailed, and educated enough to get and keep a job, then the only other way to damage him is to teach his women not to respect him, to take his children and to support her own self.....[more]

Afro Gender

Black men. Black women. Black men and Black women. Black men and white women. Black women and white men. Personality, preferences, education, career, relationships, etc., and how each relates in and to the above scenarios will be examined in the gender section of Afromerica.
