He tore woman down emotionally and physically. He brutalized and beat women. They were his property, strictly to make
money for him.
This is a collection of writings and memories from the life
of Robert Beck, aka Iceberg Slim. He
writes short chapters on people that he met in his life. Actresses, pimps, people walking up to home
from the street, Black Panthers, professors, etc…
I must say that this man has truly made a 360-degree turn
with his life. He admits in the
beginning that even though he stopped pimping, moving into a different
lifestyle still had its challenges but he was willing to keep striving.
Note to take away from this book:
These writing were written in the 70’s and Mr. Beck realized
(back then) that black men use other black men as objects to vent their rage
and hatred that they feel for the white man.
Why does it feel like this has not changed?
