Women And Black Men Biography
As a Black woman coming of age and living in the Deep South during
the civil rights movement, I had a deep concern for how Black people were
perceived and judged, especially  by people who knew nothing about us. My
experiences during that time period fostered my fascination with writing autobiography. Historically, Black Americans have commonly employed the genre
of autobiography to tell their stories (Harris, 2003). It was originally a means
of appealing to White society for acceptance as human beings.
I find that writing autobiography gives me the opportunity not only to
explore my history from a personal perspective, relative to the political happenings of the times, local happenings, Black community events, academic
experiences, and other occurrences that somehow impinge on my life, but also
to revisit those times from a “removed” perspective. I am able to visit my life
as an “other.” I also examine my autobiographical writings in light of the many
ways I identify myself. The impact of these facts also affects how I respond to
my life events today, not only in my personal interactions but also in my interactions as an educator, with my colleagues, and with my students. Certainly
each teacher’s identity and understanding thereof also impact his or her interactions with his or her colleagues and their students, depending on the backgrounds and the identities of those colleagues and students.
Autobiography can also be a means to share one’s history and culture
with others. The production of autobiography opens avenues for individuals to
examine how the things their parents taught them, their formal education, and

Why White Women Like Black Men

Why White Women Like Black Men Biography "What becomes of the colored girl? The muses of song, poetry and art do not woo and exalt her. She has inspired no novels. Those who write...seldom think of this dark-skinned girl who is persistently breaking through the petty tyrannies of cast into the light of recognition."  "The Colored Girl" by Fannie Barrier Williams In the above quote, Fannie Barrier Williams pays homage to the Black woman, who, despite the absence of her vision in critical race discourse authored by Black men, and despite the stifling of her distinct legacy when Black community history is memorialized, still forges a path for her own recognition, on terms that do not require traditions sacred to whiteness or maleness. The violation of Black community through her body has been overlooked as a central disruption of Black American community identity. In Black Theology, her absence rendered the conversation stagnant, at best; at worst, Black Theology, wit...

Black Men

Black Men Biography Men are no more immune from emotions than women; we think women are more emotional because the culture lets them give free vent to certain feelings, “feminine” ones, that is, no anger please, but it’s okay to turn on the waterworks. -Una Standard Being a Black man in America is difficult. Being a Black man in America with Bipolar Disorder is unbearable. There’s a lot of emotional baggage that comes with being a Black man in this country. We still get harassed by law enforcement, we are disproportionately represented in the prison population and more of us die (via each other’s hands) annually than US military personnel does overseas.
