Abstract

African American male youth (Black boys) live lives under constant threat of violence. Their fathers, uncles and grandfathers fear for their son’s lives and seek to impart to them the wisdom of their faith derived from Christ in epistles of love. The root of the violence that plagues them is acquisitive mimetic desire by means of a deviated transcendent model of desire. They have become scapegoats of a racist, consumer-driven, pathogenetic society. The only hope is love found in an intimate mimesis of a transcendent model—Jesus Christ. This is the prophetic task of a Christian education for Black boys in America.
