HUSBANDS & FATHERS
The intent and purpose of The African American Family Village is to provide help for the entire family. By way of supporting Fathers. Our goal is to help rebuild the family structure of broken homes with the support needed. Also, counseling for fathers & sons relationships. It Takes A Village!
As For Me & My House
THE VILLAGE SPEAKS - We all know most households have certain rules that make their home run as smooth and successful as possible for the betterment of the whole entire family. There will be times, when we will not always agree with one another. We will address the problem and show respect for how the other is feeling and do our best to come to some type of resolution. If you feel that you can not respect our house, our village. Then by all means, do what you got to do and keep it moving. We will love you either way.
FOR OUR CHILDREN - THE VILLAGE, out of love at times there will be discipline. Even GOD in Heaven disciplines those He loves. This helps us to stay on track. We all make mistakes and get off course at times. That is just a part of life's experiences. We are suppose to learn and grow from life experiences and lessons. When you know better, you do better. Simple as that!
Driving While Black
THE TALK - This practice is so common that the Black community has given it the derisive term, "The TALK" "driving while black or brown" "Driving while black", abbreviated as DWB, is a phrase in American English that refers to the racial profiling of African American drivers. The phrase implies that a motorist might be stopped by a police officer because of a racial bias and not because the driver has violated any traffic law.

REAL DISCUSSIONS: Overt and Covert Racism
Have The Talk If You Want Healing
Why it is so important to have real conversations with the white people in your circle. Some family members have married outside of the African American | Black race creating a multi-cultural dynamic in the family structure. We also have acquaintances and neighbors in our circle we socialize with on a regular basis. If there is to be any real healing we must have real discussion periodically. We can not assume that the other race understand us, our plight. Truth be told they could never understand. Perhaps relate to some degree. That's about it. Have the talk.
A while back we were watching a movie called. "A Time To Kill" about a little ten years old black girl, rapped by two white men. The little girl's father took the law into his own hands because he knew there would be no justice for his precious child. Why do we mention this? Well towards the end of the movie, (or those who have read the book, by author, John Grisham) The father's attorney was making his closing words with the jurors. It seem the white jurors could have cared less about the little black girl, her family or her father.
The turning point, was when the attorney said, "NOW IMAGINE SHE WAS WHITE!" It was like the "white jurors," could not relate or had no care or compassion until the attorney uttered those words. We must have more discussion with the "White Race" in our circle.
There is a reason why The Black Race express their frustration and anger the way that we do. Simply fed up with the nonsense. Exhausting!
Sharing is caring. We will continue the discussion in The Village Meeting with The Elders.
