“I Hate Black Women” Author Sounds Off on Problem with Black Women – Part 1

A book so controversial and hated that it’s demonized before most readers even pick it up to read the first sentence. A book so controversial and hated that there’s a petition circulating around the Internet to get it censored and remove it from such sites as Amazon. A book so controversial and hated that people are calling for the author’s head. Now, why is this particular book so controversial and hated? The title alone – “I Hate Black Women.”

Yes, that’s the title and yes, the author, she is a black woman. In fact, author T. C. Writer claims that she doesn’t hate black women at all, but she does hate certain aspects about them.

“I am a Black woman who does not HATE her people. However, I am fed up with Black women. This book does not reference ALL Black women. The women that I am referring to know who they are. Every person knows a Black woman that fits the descriptions of what I discussed in my book. The “I Hate Black Women” title is a marketing tool. I chose ‘HATE’ because HATE is what Black women respond to. Needless to say, it is evident that the title is causing an uproar, which was expected.”

Even though the divisive book is just now receiving tons of attention, backlash and criticism, it was actually written more than 8 years ago and Writer’s intent was to help and uplift black women instead of falling in line with the status quo.

“I am doing what I can to salvage my race. When I started writing, ‘I Hate Black Women’ I was thinking along the lines of I am tired of massaging my race’s ego. As a Black woman, it is time that I start telling them how it is and maybe with my approach I could actually help them.”

Writer’s inspiration drew upon her own personal experiences and observations of black women in the acts and situations that she felt needed attention drawn to in order to help black women better themselves.

“What motivated me to write this book 8 years ago is that I subconsciously observed that every situation where Black women were involved turned out to be a drama-ensued event. Black women are uncomfortable in any situation that demands their attention, or puts them on the forefront in a positive light. That is why they walk around with nasty attitudes and frowns on their faces but jump to the opportunity to act like fools. They work better behind the scenes, such as their work to have my book banned, spewing hate behind their keyboards and their desperate attempt to silence me. They flourish when they are bullying their own.”

Writer, in fact, saw herself as the problem by “giving them the ammo needed to bring the Black race down.”

“I was motivating them to feel like they didn’t need to change because acting out was the ‘norm’ for Black women. Black women live by the words, ‘You can’t beat us so join us.’ They are a living and breathing experiment and are detrimental to the Black race. And if there is one thing I hate is lies being told and promulgated.”

Writer feels that there are black women who are out there subconsciously living out these detrimental behaviors and profiting from yet are quick to take Writer’s message the wrong way.

“And there are many Black women who we admire that is doing just that to make a living. Those who are not conscious and choose not to be aware took my hidden message that was not hidden at all, and decided that I was promoting a race war against my own people. Would that mean that I would be exempt from the race war? I am a Black woman who got to the breaking point of being fed [up] and since I know many of my sisters seem to respond fondly to HATE than they do love, I went with the latter.”

Even though Writer chose the word “hate” in the title and uses it as a tool, from her point of view, she views her book and message as one of bringing black women together the best way that she can since she doesn’t believe more conventional methods have worked.

“Let’s face it — there has been many authors before who attempted to reunite Black women as a sisterhood, yet our separation and the fact that we will not work as one big community tells me that those author’s hard work was not considered nor taken seriously.”

Writer believes that the very powerful and influential women that other black women look up to and idolize play a role in this damaging culture. Find out her views on women like Oprah and more.
