The book examines the Destruction of Black Males in American Society. Using a reader friendly narrative style of story telling and poetry, the author reflects on his personal experiences, family life and the major issues faced by Black males in the United States. The author challenges the reader to understand the oppression of Black Males as a form of gender discrimination that is often overlooked by social commentators, policy makers and scholars. This has resulted in the continuing destruction of the lives of Black Males which has had a devastating effect on Black families. The mass incarceration, higher death rates, lower educational achievement and extremely high unemployment of Black Males speaks to the urgency of this issue. The continued police violence in which the society either condones or ignores the devastating effects of racial, gender and economic oppression of Black Males is testimony to the seriousness of this issue.
