When a Black Man Still Loves... Even Though (Sisters, there are still some good ones left)...picks up where When a Black Man Loves left off.

In actuality, it is two books. It is the analysis of Black men and love, exploring multiple aspects of Black men in relationships. It not only dissects the platform and position of Black men through their history, behaviors and mental pathology but how those things factor into the wants and wishes of Black men in relationships. It also looks at the other side of the equation in regards to what Black men face in regards to the beliefs and attitudes of Black women. It is an analytical view regarding love and the Black man. It basically takes apart the essence of the African American male, and slowly starts to relate that to his choices, decisions and actions when it comes to living, and to loving, as well as avoiding relationships. It looks at what turns then away, as well as looks at some of the issues [and concerns] that they have with themselves, as well as with the rest of the world.

However, it first lays the foundation for what the author believes Black men feel inside and wish to convey, but the roles and rules that society have manifested become hurdles which in many ways we never find the courage to straddle.

The second book is half of what spurred it all. This book was spurred initially by the vocal responses that the author received from Black women while selling the first book; responses which questioned what-, how-, and when do- Black men love. But what brought this all together was the romance that he had which blossomed from the meeting of one woman while selling the first book. This second book is the tale of a man humbling himself to love, and a woman who really touched his heart and his soul. It is the personal journey of a man in finding what needs to be changed and developed within himself to make a relationship work. It is the meeting of two people, each with their individual issues, and the struggles of one to overcome the boundaries, hurdles, and possibly "right person, wrong time" scenario. It is the story of a man who falls in love, and is willing to persevere through attitudes and beliefs that he did not create in the other; something that we all can understand.

In the end, it reads like the song I Want You by Erykah Badu off of her Worldwide Underground, truly conveying sincere feelings and respect for the one who captured his heart, and still fighting to make it work since it hurts to much to just let it go without trying his best.

This book is a read that not only pulls apart the misnomers surrounding Black men and love, but also allows us all, both men and women to look at what we really know and understand about the issues that we face when it comes to Black men and love. For the men, they get a better understanding of themselves, and an emotional corroboration to actions and attitudes, both beneficial and detractive. For the women, it allows them to really look at Black men for what they are deep down inside, to what they are facing in relationships, to what they have to overcome within themselves.
