Deconstructing the Paradox of Black Female Masculinity w/ Hasani Pettiford

Award winning author and speaker Hasani Pettiford talks to Savvy Talk Radio about his new book 'Why We Hate Black Women.' For over a decade Mr. Pettiford has been a recognized authority on human sexuality, interpersonal relationships and personal growth and development. 'Why We Hate Black Women' is a book that takes a critical look at the historical and contemporary lives of Black women in order to answer one question: Why are so many black women abused, abandoned, betrayed, devalued and hated by both their white and black counterparts? This quest for truth opens up a cultural Pandora’s Box of issues that date back over 400 years. Whether discussing corporate women, college women, church women or economically challenged women, their stories are the same. Whether they’ve reached the heights of an Oprah Winfrey or have struggled to make ends meet, there is one chord that binds them all together – the stigma of what it means to be black and female in America.
