British MP Camila Batmanghelidjh says (have your say) you can read the full article @ http://www.blackissue.com/black_women_also_cause_splits.htm

"Black women are "hugely responsible" for the family breakdown which fuels crime, MPs have been told.
Camila Batmanghelidjh, of the charity Kid's Company, said men were usually seen as the "irresponsible" ones who got girls pregnant and "walked off".
But black women were also to blame as they had a culture of rejecting men and being "cruel" towards them, she said.
Ms Batmanghelidjh, who advises Tory leader David Cameron, was speaking to the influential home affairs committee.
The Commons committee, which is investigating young black people and the criminal justice system, was told 57% of black Caribbean children grew up in lone parent households, compared with 25% of white children.

Who the hell does this woman think she is, she has know idea what we sistah’s have had to endure. For someone to say we have brought the problem of absentee fathers on ourselves is ridicules and very insulting to all black women.

Judy, Sorry but I can't say I disagree with Camilla at all. Of course there are factor for women's behaviour but you cant deny that's how some women are. What exactly has she said that's wrong ? Are you telling me black women aren't cruel to men, arent hard, independent sistas ? That they ALL let the fathers of their children readily have regular, hassle free access to their children ?

Camilla is a highly respected, child psychologist who has helped and looked after 1000's of abused, homeless, abandonded children, esp black children in S London. She was referring to actual cases when she made her comments, so she knows exactly what she's talking about. I don't imagine she meant every single black woman fits that profile so I wouldn't take it personally.

This and the whole issue of the family unit/lack of and its wider implications will be up for discussion at 'The Trouble With L.O.V.E. IV - How Do I Mend or End a Bad Relationship ? on Friday 24 November, Toynbee Hall, 7-10pm, 28 Commercial St, London E1 6LS. Around the corner from Aldgate East tube.

Message from a Black Black Man

First, I want to give a shoutout to some of my QueenLadies Dr. Francis Cress-Welshing, Sharazad Ali and the president of Liberia! Now to the topic:

The Black women are not thinking and are mentally/spiritually led by our colorless oppressors. Since capture on the shores of Africa, throught the ride of the Middle Passage, from the time of being released off the plantations with bibles in hand(slave obey your master/turn the other cheek/you will get your reward in Heaven), from the times of heavy domestic work centered around taking care of the palefaced woman's house and children for income, surviving the massive drug influx put in the Black community in the early 70s up to now by the white mutant outside leadership to destroy the Black family-extended family structures, all the way up to right now. Doing the same domestic work in corporate offices of the palefaced, colorless male, after 1st gaining college degrees today, as we speak. In America, the Black woman is the ONLY race of woman that must leave her community each day to go work for another race of man to earn a living for her family.

True too, the Black male has not redeemed himself with his women folk up to this moment. But that is a whole different topic, let us stick to the women for now.

Now pardon me, as I will jump around on this subject.

Black women are not thinking in general. They are a group of blinded followers of mutant albino male leadership worldwide. Mentally drunk on the white boy's religion(bible) that was not created for Black people, whom were civilized long ago. It was created for white people/mutants, so uncivilized when the bible was written. Black women in white societies are programmed socially and sub-consciously aware that they can not face a massive, colorless police and military body. Unprotected by their own men folk for so long now, they have given up on the Black man any place on Earth. Including Africa, at a much slower pace.
Black women are not thinking, dumbed down by 24/7 mental suppression by the colorless media, religion and miseducation school system. Black women have turned their backs on their old, traditional African culture and heritage and use the excuse whites stole such from us and we can not get it back. An excuse to be lazy concerning SELF, a no-work solution. The truth is anyone can enslave you physically and mentally but none can truly enslave you SPIRITUALLY. I say such to say this: There is NO Black person on Earth, who's Ancestors were enslaved and removed from their homes, families, tribes, clans, country and continent in the long ago past whom can not find their African extended family, clan and tribes(paternal & maternal) in Africa today, right now. No, you do not need the white boy's help or the DNA testing solution either. All you have to do is tap into your own SPIRIT for direction. As your African family awaits your return right now in Africa. Please too do not waste my time with discussions about how many other "races" are in your family. I am talking about your spirit not your DNA. Now I asks you, who is more spiritual in the Black family, the male or the female? Hint: In American Black churches, 3/4ths of the members are Black women.
The Black woman has turned her back on one of her most powerful institutions globally...AFRICAN POLYGAMY. The institution that gives a Black woman THE GREATEST INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM ON EARTH and yet keeps her insulated in a large family-extended family framework surrounded by massive economic development. Get this, the lack of it is the very reason more and more married and single women in America today are killing their children and then being put in insane asylums. Remember this Black women, it is no accident that white leadfership in their societies made polygamy illegal. They knew Black people were best at it and it would give Blacks, in such societies, far easier access to catch and pass up the richest white families in that society. Again, Black women are not thinking, anti the most true sisterhood.
Two last views and I am out of here. Blacks in America have the greatest access to the internet(free in US public libraries). We use such to chat, find mates, view porno(another anti-family building ploy), play video games and download music/movies. The Black woman, the focal point of the family, the glue, is not thinking. It is the creation of the internet that can ressurect Black extended family in the Americas first and later tie us back into Africa. Teleconferencing on the internet weekly(www.skype.com), bi-weekly or monthly with one's family members nationally beats out a family reunion once every 2 or 4 years easily. Creating an easy solution to heal one's extended family, protecting the elderly and the the youth plus building an extended family wealth-building strategy/support system in a social services weakening Amertica society(www.goldmoney.com). Black women are you thinking? Free your minds, respect yourselves.
Finally, as an African American male, you can sit me in Africa, place high-speed internet access(DSL, WiFi) in my home(s) in Africa, get 7 African wives whom were born from polygamous families and step back. I will train each woman how to use the internet on a high level and their obligation to me, their husband, is this...FOREX! Each will give me 4 hours a day online(2 hours on and 10 hours off 2 hours on another 10 hours off) for 5.5 days aweek; the amount of time FOREX is open weekly worldwide. Now the 10 hours they, the wives, will be off-line, they can do what income producing trade/vocation they like. All I asks is no outside"jobs" or participation in foreign religions(christianity, islam, etc.), no cooked hair, no bleaching cremes, no pants wearing, no smoking or drinking and be home by sundown. After every 1 year, we will take a break and travel the world as a collective for 3 straight months(each wife picking about 2 weeks at her favorite location in the world, with the collective). In exchange, I guarantee, we will pass up Oprah's continually growing income/net worth within the next 10 years or less. My economic guidelines would be such: 1/4th of my women's daily income to the in-house family collective, 1/4th to herself, 1/4th to her parents-family and lastly 1/4th to her community(schools/hospitals/orphanages/Vodoun shrines).

Black women, are you thinking? To love SELF is to love God.

As a Black male in America, I cannot put everything on Black women. Also in response to a comment on your message board, the God we Christians worship is not only for the White man, but is for all men.
LISTEN ALL OF YOU AND LISTEN CLOSELY as you read this. God is the Creator of all men. He is not only for the White man. If we truly obeyed His Principles, His Word and Obey His Commandments, we would be a happier, moral, and righteous society.
THE BLAME FOR BLACK PEOPLE's PLIGHT in AMERICA and the ENGLISH speaking nations is based on our being brainwashed from Slavery.
We still have allowed Willie Lynch, as Louis Fahrakhan speaks of, to rule us.
I want to repeat that I am a Christian, but I got educated about some things through Louis Fahrrakhan. Willie Lynch was a plantation owner in the West Indies from what Brother Fahrrakhan says. He was the one we allowed to divide us through gender, skin color ( light-skinned Black vs. Dark Skinned Black), through social status, and young versus old.
The Bible teaches to honor him that has the gray hair (hoary head).
The Bible teaches men to honor their wives and for women to obey their husbands. The truth about the Holy Bible has not been taught by Black preachers, of whom too many seek only financial advantage and do not deliver the TRUE MESSAGE OF JESUS CHRIST, a message of REAL FREEDOM.
HENCE, the women have followed the GOSPEL of GREED, not the TRUE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.
So finally, Black men and women are to blame-EQUALLY! Secondly, we need the truth about OUR GOD NOT the LIES BEING TAUGHT EVERY SUNDAY. We even worship on the wrong day. SATURDAY IS HIS SABBATH. HE says in ISAIAH 58 that SATURDAY, the SABBATH, is "MY HOLY DAY".
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!
