I'd never heard of this book! I heard that this was the male's response to WAITING TO EXHALE. It was about Khalil, a single African American man, with a good job, trying to be righteous in the community; a great brother/uncle, peacemaker and he'd even stopped cheating to settle down.

    I'd never heard of this book! I heard that this was the male's response to WAITING TO EXHALE. It was about Khalil, a single African American man, with a good job, trying to be righteous in the community; a great brother/uncle, peacemaker and he'd even stopped cheating to settle down.
    .
    I was not expecting to enjoy this. At first I was like nah, this is going to be some real one-sided mess! It wasn't. Khalil is the guy we all know and we all say he's too good to be true. Then there's Deric, another strong black man whose trying to love a girl Kelly, who misuses men as well as her friends and believes it's get paid or played. CeCe was too naive and wimpy, but Sonje and Leandra whew we all know women that are ruthless like this "my way or no way!"

    FED UP WITH THE FANNY has a good story line. It shows how men in our society are treated unfairly no matter how hard they try. There were black men that were active in the communities, trying to detour destruction to our neighborhoods and build one another up. It was really good to read a book about "our strong men!" Although the ending was heart wrenching it was what so many of our lives consist of.
