Worthwhile...for the most part

Would you try another book from Ajuma Muhammad and/or Bill Powers?

Maybe

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Left out the racism and conspiracy theroies.

Did Bill Powers do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes

Was Understanding the Crisis of the Black Male worth the listening time?

yes...for the most part

Any additional comments?

80% spot on, 15% racism on the author's part, and 5% conspiracy theory. Into the book, it became clear the author is Nation of Islam and quote scripture from the Koran and credits Louis Farrakhan. If you can get past that, the book has a lot of valid points. Book is worth reading if you are not easily swayed.

Superlative information to empower Black males

Would you listen to Understanding the Crisis of the Black Male again? Why?

Yes, I would listen to this over and over again. Informative, insightful and healing flows form this audio.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Understanding the Crisis of the Black Male?

When I realized how thoroughly researched the information is. The salvation of lost Black males is an imperative task and this audio contains many keys to accomplish it.

Have you listened to any of Bill Powers’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the first, but I hope not the last one.

If you could give Understanding the Crisis of the Black Male a new subtitle, what would it be?

And The Information To Help Resolve The Crisis

Any additional comments?

I will be listening to this over and over again and passing the powerful, healing information it contains on.

misogynistic, segregationist, & victim blaming

Read anything else. Franchise, Warmth of Other Suns, Malcolm and Me, ANYTHING!

Perpetuates the Southern myth that house-slaves were willing agents of whites.

gave some lean-in advice at the end
