"In her powerful new book, bell hooks asserts that when women gather to discuss men, the prevailing news is usually negative. Moreover, when the conversation turns to specifically addressing black men, the news becomes even more grim. The title of her book, We Real Cool, immediately grabs our attention as she delves into the ways in which both white society and ineffective black leaders are failing black men and youth. hooks courageously tackles a taboo subject, highlighting that there is a pervasive lack of love for black males in our culture.

According to hooks, black males are not embraced or esteemed by white men, white women, black women, girls, or boys. Most alarmingly, black men themselves do not harbor self-love. The author questions how they could possibly love themselves when surrounded by such overwhelming feelings of envy, desire, and hatred.

hooks ultimately challenges us to confront the systemic issues that perpetuate the cycle of self-hate and disenfranchisement among black men. She calls for a radical shift in societal attitudes and practices in order to foster a culture that truly values and uplifts black males. By shedding light on these uncomfortable truths, hooks compels us to rethink our perceptions and take action towards creating a more inclusive and compassionate world for all."
