I liked this post: I think that Black men should speak out more, start and maintain a dialogue, preferably with Black women, so we can better undertand each other, and work together to build our community.
HOWever, I do have a bit of an issue with one of the points made in this video (you knew it was coming, lol). In the video, a man makes the point that Black women arent being infected with HIV by Black men, but by IV drug users. I cant speak for other geographical areas, but in the District of Columbia, the vast majority of the HIV+, IV drug users ARE Black men. It is possible to be both. So please, clear up the myths, but keep it real.

Never said black men aren't infecting black women, I said "50% of black women contracted it from IV drugs or sex with a known IV drug user"
