Here is a review I got on-line!
"What's Wrong With Black Women"
> Reviewed by Mike Ramey
> Years ago, as the story goes, there were two men in one U.S. city
who each had their sweethearts break up with them. One man committed suicide.
One set his heartbreak to music, and was paid a royalty of $225,000. After
reading the book “What’s Wrong With Black Women?” by Monte Maddox (2002,
1stBooks Publishing, 287 pages), one would think that HE was the one who set
his heartbreak to music, and walked away with the cash.
>
> No, the book is not ‘pristine sweet’. It has some profanity in
it, which may turn off some readers. However, Maddox’s passion--a hilarious,
rousing, and realistic examination of Black Male/Female relationships from the
classroom to the pew, will keep you turning the pages.
>
> While Maddox states early that the book is a work of fiction, he
clearly takes a stand for the Good Black men that are far too often rendered
‘invisible’ by the sistahhood. Brothers who don’t have a lot in their
pockets, the best ride, or the latest fashions on their backs. Brothers who GO
to school for an education, GO to work to make a honest living, and stay OUT of
prison, the dope house, and the streets.
>
> In short, Maddox has his keyboard aimed to tell the story of the
good brothers that black women can’t seem to find, but are always looking for
on talk shows and in the mainstream press.
>
> Yes, it is GOING to be controversial. “What’s Wrong With Black
Women? is NOT for the man (or woman) unwilling to face the truth about why
the brothers who are NORMAL often have the hardest time in not only meeting and
dating quality Black women, but why the REAL shortage in society is OF QUALITY
BLACK WOMEN. It is also NOT complimentary on the subjects of religion, church,
the Bible or domestic violence.
>
> Best quote of the book can be found starting on the bottom of Page
77: “If there is one thing that you take away from this book, remember this
theme that we have returned to time, and time again: The bad black men of this
world have been put upon a pedestal by far too many black women...Good black
men have no hope or support as long as black women favor the lowest level of
the black male species…Sistahs! You ought to be ashamed!”
>
> You are NOT going to breeze through this book in one afternoon.
Maddox does successfully counter a lot of the myths about the ‘lack’ of
Good Black men available for dating, romance, and marriage that female authors
have been churning out for a number of years.
>
> Consider “What’s Wrong With Black Women?” a reference book
above everything else. Single men will refer to it, again and again. Married
men may pass it on to their single friends. It’s available on line, or can
be obtained through
