Summary: Conservative Hyprocrisy
Comment: The reocurring theme in this film asks us to do our research, well when we do, we find that many not all, but many of the experts that they interview are advocates of a republican agenda that does more harm to black men than good. Although much of what is said in this documentary has a ring of truth, some statements are incorrect,i.e.( there are approx. 700,000 black men incarcerated and 800,000 black men in college, when actually there are currently 900,000 black men incarcerated and 800,000 black men in college). Many black men are locked up when white men committing the same crimes only receive a slap on the wrist. We can not use injustice such as institutionalized rascism as a crutch, but we can not simply ignore it either.
Pundits like Armstrong Williams and Juan Williams are almost laughable,if they weren't such tragic figures. Both are paid for spreading the right wing agenda. A. Williams was discovered receiving a stipend from the current republican administration and J. Williams from Fox news to be Bill O'Reilly's lackey.
I agree with the premise of this film, but I can do without the conservative slant.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: It sure is refreshing to see that everyday black men and some high profile black men aren't buying into the victim mentality. These voices are muted in the mainstream media and it needs to be put front and center which this work does quite well. I'll show this to as many black men I can and hope that it gives them another way of looking at things.

IYAGO ENTERTAINMENT GROUP Presents WHAT BLACK MEN THINK An In Depth View of How Myths, Stereotypes and Misrepresentations render Black Men Non-Necessities in their Communities and Families...
In the most provocative Black film of the year, Janks Morton presents a searing examination of the role that myths, stereotypes and misrepresentations have played in the decimation of modern era black relationships, and how the symbiotic relationship between government, the media and black leadership perpetuates misinformation to further marginalize the role of black men in society.
Since the triumphs of the civil rights legislations of the early 1960s havoc and decimation has been wreaked on the Black family with a specific devastation on the Black man. With negative imagery of the media, the failed policy of the great society and modern era black leadership abandoning tenets that historically held the community together, a new form of mental slavery has perpetuated an undeclared civil war in the Black Community...
