Describe the gender role socialization patterns among African Americans?

Answer 1

I can only use factual data pulled from my experiences from being born in Detroit, Michigan...

morals, virtues, self discipline and sacrifice, knowledge, kindness, tolerance, maturity, logic, caring, IQ, social skills, self-worth, hope...

these are all traits that DO NOT EXIST in this region.
unfortunately, all that is left is the opposite. sad but true.
-so, this question cannot be easily answered due to the lack of traits listed. the best that can be surmised is more of an animal instinct for survival than any learned trait or social skill.

note: it would be the wise person that does not judge a race by color of skin or where those people are at on a social level.
all people, from a race, distinct society, or even an individual; have had to grow and acquire the wisdom needed to live a better life in all aspects.

Answer 2

humm..this is kinda hard but I believe it may go something like this. This is just a family aspect, I cant really think of school, work or much else. Darn. =(

Females are expected to raise a family, and largely keep it together. With the degeneration of the typical family, many African American mothers are left to raise children. So this leads to a generation of women who feel more responsible for what happens to the future of African-America. Males are expected to help out and raise families, but many dont embark on this opportunity. For whatever reason, they either dont feel valued in the relationship ( Ex: "you do everything, why do you need a man around sista?") or they just arnt ready to handle it. Alot of families survive like this, although not the idea.

Answer 3

I can feel what "Dimples" and "Race Relations Today" are saying as an African American I can relate, but then I can relate with everyone else, why do your homework for you. I tell you the Internet, it is making us all so very lazy.

Answer 4

My husband always tell me that it's tougher on the Black male than it is on the Black female and I agree with him. My husband runs down his day for me every time he comes home from work - from the time he walks out the door to the time he comes back home. You'd be surprised from the things he tells me.
He explained to me that outside our society there is no embracement of the people of color, only tolerance of our existence, alongside painted picture descriptions of our character structures to be the worst contribution aspects to life.(whites whom say they have black friends almost always have to be different or a bad *** always in trouble but we can't just embrace and be ourselves)
This is what he says cause most descendants of a non-liberated peoples of slavery, whom never got to learn how to love themselves with truths of the history books and modern media, to turn on one another due to the fact that if one could not love himself how could he love those in his images?
Well added to this struggle he says that as black men in which he encountered, he always ask them if they feel guilt of self presence around whites sometimes?, they say yes, how about when you approach whites down the street do you feel that they may be afraid so you pardon yourself way farther than you should have to as an upright standing man? the response within every friend he has ever had was all the same, "You know that's the truth, and I just now realized it!"(This proves a psychological mental restitution is owe towards its fix)
If these are not clear examples of repercussions from the past hand downs of the white treatment upon a nation of peoples, what is it? They always say black men is angry so they can close our women ears to us.....(they call reaction and response reverse racism?)
The only way to fix this problem is not more jails for the black men and starving the black family.........
It begins with knowledge and restituted typed behavior from those whom history was responsible for my modern day to be a living hell....
These were all the words of my husband as he came home one day of frustration from what he says seems to be, "A day of servitude to the gatekeepers of a Hell."
