5.0 out of 5 stars Must read book! June 16, 2011
After reading Trojan Horse: Death of a Dark Nation last year, I was eagerly anticipating the follow up book, Black Love Is A Revolutionary Act. This book most definitely did not disappoint. It explicitly lays out the ways in which white supremacists have created, fostered and encouraged a deep divide between Black men and women, and offers concrete solutions to unify the Black community and family. This book will really have you examining your everyday interactions with the people around you, as well as the messages portrayed by the media.

Every person of color should read this book rather they would like to or not!

5.0 out of 5 stars -- Thought Provoking
This review is from: Black Love Is A Revolutionary Act (Paperback)
Have you ever wondered why it's incredibly rare to see a dark skinned black couple on TV, at the movies , or in magazines? Are you someone who doesn't believe in coincidences? Is it really true that we can't help who we fall in love with? Are black people under assault? Check out this book, it really was a revelation for me and could be for you as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars -- Critical Counter-Racist Reading!
The Umoja authors provide critical research, logic and "plain talk" for black people suffering with Racism. BLACK LOVE IS A REVOLUTIONARY ACT emphasizes that White people wage continuous war on black male and black female relationships. Racism/White Supremacy is the reason that black "families" are weak and our marriage rates and happiness plummeting. The authors implore black females and black males to remain patient, compassionate and united to one another - as no one else will be there to help us.
Any black person on the planet who has a problem with Racism will benefit from reading this book. They offer concepts that deconstruct how White people have traumatized black people. One of the main ideas of this book, is that most - if not all - black people suffer from White Identification. Seeing the world from the perspective of our enemies, White people. Being White Identified often leads a black person to seek sexual relationships with White people and increased contact with White people in general. White Identification prohibits us from thinking, speaking and conducting ourselves with White people in a correct, logical, counter-racist manner.
Black people have been and continue to be terrorized by White people. Lying to ourselves and each other about our pain is the worst thing we can do. It helps White people. Not sharing how we've be mistreated keeps the secrets of Racist Man and Racist Woman. Hopefully, reading this book will help black people realize that White people are at War with us. And that there are simple things all black people can do to help us find a final resolution to the problem of White Supremacy/Racism. Remaining dedicating to creating healthful relationships between black males and black females should be at the top of that list. One of the authors conducted an interview on this topic here: [...]

5.0 out of 5 stars -- Black Love is the ONLY Love for Black People!
After reading Trojan Horse: Death of a Dark Nation, I could only imagine what the follow up book would be like. Black Love Is A Revolutionary Act did not disappoint. This co-authored masterpiece once again provides solid, consistent, constructive and accurate information of how the gender war between black women and black men continues to plague the black family structure. Only a lost soul would deny the facts and logic presented in this book. Not only is this book informative but offers solutions to reverse the damage done to the black family by decades of racial social programming. This book has profoundly influence how I see interracial relationships and how damaging they are to the collective black family. Black Love is the ONLY Love for Black People!

5.0 out of 5 stars You Can't Fix What You Can't See…
Black folks need to read this book to understand how seemingly innocent elements of their lives are consciously designed to keep them from bonding with each other. This book is well written, controversial and provides references that can be verified.
I was impressed with how historical and contemporary photographs and illustrations were analyzed for their impact on Black love and unity. The book analyzed the mindset behind how various news stories and reality shows are presented to "the public". The more contemporary illustrations and photographs combined with the text reveal the types of things WE SEE but DONT SEE in the media and education systems. Just one example of something SEEN but NOT SEEN is the number of sitcoms, movies, and commercials where the romantic interests of Black men are women of other races instead of Black women. The book reveals who benefits from this phenomenon especially since it does not reflect the numerical truth in the Black community.
I also appreciated that the book did not just point to issues but also offered solutions.
I believe we are attracted to certain books when we are ready to hear the message within them or when something within them resonates with something within us. This book is going to make some people mad but it will also open their eyes. I could definitely see discussion groups around this book!

COUNTER_RACIST BOOK REVIEW: Black Love is a Revolutionary Act
“When a man ignores a woman's femininity, it's taking away their 'rights' or 'powers' as a woman which means they can't function as a female and may doubt their femininity...most white females are less likely to ask 'why do you not treat me like a lady?,' consequently they will be puzzled that a male, especially a black male is de-feminizing them if they even guess that it's occurring.
This means that the black male has the power in that situation because the white female will always thirst for an answer to why you treat her like she has a penis instead of a vagina and two breasts. All of this equals power and actually empowers black females when they are made aware of what you are doing. They love it which means I love it.”--- excerpt from Black Megatron's conduct code for white females (pp. 390).
And that's not even the full passage citing the black male calling himself Black Megatron. His explanation of his sexual conduct code and a look at the parallel code used by white males in relation to black females are, by themselves, worth the $19.95 price of this phenomenal book. Black Love is A Revolutionary Act was penned by an anonymous group of black authors writing under the pseudonym, Umoja (Swahili for Unity).
On the very first page of the preface, these authors give a five-paragraph explanation for their anonymity that is so principled that I was almost hooked before I read the first page of the text. The five paragraphs are headed: “There is nothing original about the ideas presented here. The authors are not seeking fame. The authors reserve the right NOT to be a distraction to the message. Every word in this book was designed to inform. You may not agree with everything or anything written here.” Who wouldn't want to at least skim a book that the authors think is so important that they do not take credit for it?
This the most ambitious book about black male-black female relations on which you'll likely ever set your eyes. Its scope is so large that it would have more naturally fit and been organized into a three or four volumes instead of the one. I can only conclude that Umoja was compelled by the urgent need to provide this information.

DONE!! I finished reading the book this morning at around 10 am pst. OMG…this book has truly changed me and allowed me to see things I didn't know were in place and functioning. I am a black person and thought I understood the impact slavery had on my (African) ancestors. The early sections in the book on slavery really showed me I didn't know what I thought I knew. In fact I didn't know anything.
The descriptions ripped at my psyche. I found myself saying over and over, "I didn't know that happened." Couple that with the pictures in the book, and I kept wondering, "How in the hell did Africans survive through all of that torment?”
I was already aware of the work of Neely Fuller, Jr., and Dr. Welsing. However, I didn't know about all of the mind games and tricks that are being played and deployed on/against black men and women to keep us in the game of white supremacy. All unbeknownst to the black man and woman. I will never see a white woman or an inter-racial couple the same way after reading this book. My thanks to the authors for writing this book.”

Black Love is a Revolutionary Act, is something I always knew, but never could verbalize it in such a way as to be understood by others.
The book opens with a dedication to all Black people who have loved, love and seek justice. Not because it's what humans do, but because it's what Black people do or at least what we did. The book starts off with a bit of the slave trade and how the breakdown began. I'm not really into reading about the slave trade because I am an emotional person and that triggers my emotions every time. But let me skip to what I think is the most damaging thing to happen to Black people in this country. INTEGRATION!! And I quote "An epidemic of materialism and selfishness is systematically destroying our friendships, relationships, marriages, families and communities. We were not this way PRIOR to INTEGRATION." My father told me long time ago that integration killed the Black people before they were even born.
I read this section of the book several times just because I felt a kinship with what was said and how it was explained. The book goes on to tell to let us know how functional the Black family was before we got "included", which I think was the point of us mixing. To confuse and break us into a way of life that the cave people had. Integration brought us the uppity Negro, the one who dealt with white folk or who could afford to deal with white folk. It brought us materialism as the book points out and just all around no goodness of the cave people. I know this sounds personal and that's because it is and that's why this chapter is my favorite. It was well written and the only real research that had to be done is from memory, (well, if I was writing it anyway).
We move on the whole tragic arrangement situation that many think is so cool and forward thinking. Let me just say, read this book to get a basic understanding of that whole mess.
This is a very easy to read guide for Black people who want to love other Black people.
