Black culture seems to be based on the idea of a survivalist culture. ... Haki Madhubuti’s book Black Men dives into this idea of their culture and the power struggle that is going on inside the black community. He also shares his views on money in the community and how family values play a part in black mentalities.
At the beginning of the book Madhubuti explains that as a people the black community has no or a very limited understanding as to their own culture. The black culture is seen as survival of the strongest and not one based on the need to educate the young people in the community. ... Madhubuti explains that there are two different cultural mentalities. ... Madhubuti seems to feel that the community would be better off if they started over. ...
There seems to be a lot more emphasis on money in the black community than anything else. ... The problem with this idea is that the people it creates aren’t coming back to helping the black community. Madhubuti feels part of the problem is that too many gifted people leave and never look back to the community that they grew up in. ...
“If we survey the number of Black doctors, lawyers, professionals, entertainers, sports figures and business persons whose yearly net worth is beyond $100,000, it becomes a national shame to view the demise of Black communities across America.
