[00:00.00]
[00:00.00]They did not tell us that all of that,
[00:01.98]"being my own person and my being independent",
[00:04.83]would lead to separation, loneliness, celibacy, and lesbianism
[00:08.15]They didn't tell us that if you give up the man,
[00:10.31]you're gonna take one of these things,
[00:11.67]it gets worse and would destroy your nation
[00:13.71]They made us think it was some kind of glorified position
[00:16.43]to brag about the fact that I got my own job,
[00:18.70]my own credit card, my own car, so I don't need no man
[00:21.13]I don't even know how we got that mixed up,
[00:22.98]ain't none of that got anything to do with having being with no man
[00:24.99]We have some serious relationship problems,
[00:27.35]you know,
[00:28.70]over 60% of our women are single, widowed, separated, or divorced.
[00:32.00]They don't have a man.
[00:33.43]They need fathers, they need protection.

[00:37.66]you need a parental coalition of a man and a woman.
[00:39.54]We have sons,

[00:43.10]they don't know how to respect women.
[00:44.74]They may bring the welfare system in
[00:46.23]and tell us in order to feed, and clothe, and house our children,
[00:49.21]we have to give up our man–
[00:50.46]we have to put the man out of the house.
[00:51.80]When the white farmwife goes to the government for subsidy for the farm,
[00:55.17]they don't tell them to get rid of the farm
[00:56.84]and they keep that family together.
[00:58.25]But in the black community they make it a requirement,
[01:00.29]because they want to keep endorsing into the black community
[01:03.13]that the black man is no good
