America is changing and much of that change is due to the transforming of sex roles and gender identity. In a nutshell, Dr. Stelly postulates the following: the white male is the new "meta-human," as viewed in his popular culture, his obsession with technological advancement and near total disregard for the basis emotions that at one time made us all "human." Examples are provided. The white female is the new white male, made possible through her near obsession with "feminism" which has shifted from meaning "equality of genders" to "masculinization of female gender roles. Her near obsession with craving power and seeking to emulate him in all spheres of institutional life (including racism and even class and s ex bias against her own gender) have transformed her into a "male with a vagina." The saying, "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world" has ever been more true. The black female has become the new gender, known in this book as "the sister-dyke." She is not a lesbian by choice in many situations, but has adopted a quasi-lesbian stance because of the absence of black males, an absence made possible due to: (1) marriage and dating outside of the race; (2) imprisonment; (2) homosexuality and (4) downlow behavior where heterosexual relationships are, at best, secondary. The black male is the new homosexual in terms of preference and fashion. Witness the proliferation of skinny jeans, dual earrings, dyed hair, high heeled shoes and a plethora of formerly feminine gestures and activities (including obsession with video games - a techno version of the "typist secretary") and it becomes clear that the macho black man of years gone by is no more. This point is especially true when it comes to the actions, values and behaviors of the "millennials." The homosexual is the new "nigger" of sorts. The male is the intrepid iconoclast fighting for rights and battling the powers that be, speaking truth to power the way the black male (formerly "super nigger") used to do. The homosexual has adopted the dress code, fashion and even jargon of the urban black male. Examples are provided for each of these theoretical constructions. The read is truly pioneering and fascinating
