You took the words right out of my mouth. He used to be on one of the NY stations and had that baffoonery crap in the morning. Apparently, he did not last long on the NY stations. I also cannot get over, how Steve Harvey, a grown-ass man, says the term "their" in the wrong tense. He says "they" like an uneducated teenager. Example: Steve will say "They books" instead of "Their books" It irritates me when he does that as it makes him sound very ignorant.

ya'll know Steve landed a spot on Good Morning America, right?

babynoz said:

True, he is very country, but when he is discussing serious topics with other adults, the right grammar usage should kick in. It's ridiculous hearing a man as old as Steve talking like a teenager using slang.

babynoz said:

You should hear his ass try to use big words and pronounce them wrong.

It's not right, but people listen to that crap and gather a stereotype about all blacks. I had two guys in my office ask me about Steve Harvey.

Okay, I checked it out...not too bad actually.



And I did read the book...very old school point of view but a lot of practical points. Pretty funny in parts too.

I haven't read the book but it was slammed as a product of plagiarism by many blogs, mainly this blog, check the article: http://natturnersrevenge....-fire.html

I haven't read the other book either, so I can't comment although I wouldn't think its that far fitched, plagiarism is all the rage among "so-called" authors nowadays

I haven't read and have no plans to. I don't want relationship advice from someone who's been married three times.

My co worker has the book and I've read some of it. I dismissed it at first because of that and because I didn't think it would be worth my time. There are some good points despite his experience with relationships.

I was checking out her response to Steve's statement about his book...

http://www.the-savvy-sist...steve.html

The thing that strikes me is how she charges plagiarism and in the very next breath she highlights a pretty long list of differences in her book and his. I haven't read her book but from reading the passages she outlined, other than the title, the whole voice and POV is different.

If the title is the only thing she can lay claim to that explains why she hasn't sued. She would lose badly just like the woman who went after Tyler Perry.

It will be interesting to see what develops.

That is a good point. I probably still wouldn't read it because I just can't stand him.

Plus, I am happily single right now.

That's good. a lot of women I know are afraid to be alone so they stay with men who are no good for them not realizing that they can find better if they give themselves room to breathe

What woman?

Mr. Harvey's book: "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment". I read Mr. Harvey book because my 21 one year old daughter wanted my point of view. So, I went to Barnes and Noble bookstore ordered a coffee and a danish and read his book in an afternoon. They type of man Mr. Havey describes are males I've avoided like the plague all of my life and advised my daughter to do likewise. The pratical advise (about being selective and having standards) he gives is something every young women should know at the latest, by her mid twenties. It's my opinion those words of wisdom should have been expressed well before your little princess goes off to university along with her condoms and the pill or mommy hasn't done her job.

The bulk of Harvey's book about marriage is chauvinistic, contrived, simplistic, and a based on fictional marriad life of of the 1950's - a nostalgia trip that's never existed in this country and for most men around world including black men and never will. He's book is an insult to women and why everyone is jumping up in down like this man has discovered the long-sought missing link between humans and apes is beyond me. What really annoyed me is when he wrote, when a man cheats the women is at fault or anything else that make men behave the way the do, please. If he had been a little bit more honest he should have had a chapter titled: "I Cheated because the Pussy Was There and I Could". Never once did Mr. Harvey mentioned anything about mutual respect, a relationship based on reciprocity, or compromise. It was all about how a women should make her man feel, how she should allow him to protect her and do for her own his terms, irrespetive if she asked or needed such "protection". If you can't accept his terms of how you should act or treat your man it's your fault you don't have a man. It's my way or the highway: Well, allow me to get my azz out on the highway with my thumb in the air after I give you the middle finger.

Men like this are egoist, it's all about how he feels, making sure you make him feel like a man. In return in theory he's a provider, you get some dick on a regular bases, an engagement ring, have a wedding/jump the broom, and be proud and lucky you can say, My husband, this or that". Please.

As sista from Tampa Bay Florida said it best: "Am I committed to an honorable, secure, self-assured and decent human or did I just commit myself to a scared little boy who has to be constantly pampered, reassured, and coddled and who never returns that nurturing? Women need to be nurtured, too. We just can't give to a selfish and self-centered human being all the time before we ourselves fall out from exhaustion."

That's not a man nor an adult, that's a boy.

Ain't no profit in uplifting (black) folks.

I have a question for you guys. What do you really think of this show? I have tried to like it, but can't get over how bad it is. I know Steve is "country", but his cast of characters go from being "country" to straight-up GHETTO.

I understand that he has an audience to entertain every morning, but I think he goes a bit too far.
