Parent Hood vs. Hood Parent: Can a Baby Mama Produce a Barack Obama? B. Setfrey

This book may give Rush Limbaugh and Anne Coulter the ammunition they've been waiting for. The black intelligentsia may push for censorship and radio personalities will laugh out loud. PARENT Hood VS HOOD Parent ~ CAN A BABY MAMA PRODUCE A BARACK OBAMA? is the first book to reveal - and break - the Kolored Kode of Konduct, (covert bylaws that prohibit enlightenment). Defeating the odds is one thing, but a black man becoming President of the United States is a miracle and a clear sign of uber parenting. In America, puberty dictates parenthood. Raising children is the most important job on the planet, yet the only criteria is ovulation and copulation. No license is required. No background check. No psychological tests. No education. No IQ test. No drug tests. No parenting aptitude test. No wonder we have parents of the corn raising children of the corn. The "powers that be" gave President Obama and Bill Cosby 40 lashes for encouraging parents to step-up their parenting game. Their crime? Airing "dirty laundry" in mixed company. But let's face it, there's no secret place to talk to 40 million African Americans. Besides, white people can see us! They know too many of us value the creed "snitches get stitches" more than we value education. Bestselling books were written by Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Is Bill Cosby Right? and Tavis Smiley, The Covenant with Black America. Blaming the government, white supremacy and media framing for the plight is no solution. Parenthood vs. Hood Parent truly "keeps it real." Paradigms and pedagogies won't do the trick. The controversy over Dr. Cosby's Come On People, which helped catapult the book to the New York Times bestseller list, will pale in comparison to the stir that Parenthood vs. HoodParent will create.
