At The Movies

In the summer of 2007, iYAGO ENTERTAINMENT GROUP premiered the thought-provoking documentary, WHAT BLACK MEN THINK at Washington , DC ’s historic AVALON Theater. This 83 minute “Docu-logue” style film brought you candid conversations about the many myths, stereotypes and misperceptions of being Black and male in

America

. Dr. Alvin F. Poussaint, Dr. Shelby Steele, Dr. John McWhorter, Michael Steele, Juan Williams, Armstrong Williams, Joseph C. Phillips and many others gave definitive opinions as they share their intimate feelings on a variety of issues, important to Black men.

The Black Men In America.com team joined PRODUCER/DIRECTOR Janks Morton and a host of other notables at a private screening as he tackled this provocative subject matter.

WHAT BLACK MEN THINK challenges many of the negative myths, assumptions and ideas that have been linked to Black Males. For example, "Are there more black males in jail than in college?" or "Are black women contracting HIV at an increasing rate because of down-low brothers?" WHAT BLACK MEN THINK gets to the bottom of many of these myths and dispels them. Additional controversial topics discussed include; "Educational Attainment," "Interracial relationships," "Black Male Identity", "Hostile Male Environments," "The symbiosis of Media, Government and Black Leadership," "Black male homosexuality" and a variety of tough topics that the Black Community has parroted continuing the diminishment of Black Men’s roles in American society.
