Indeed, Iceberg is living proof of the adage that the scions of single mothers are more likely to live lives of crime. We neo-masculinists are well aware of the importance of strong patriarchal role models for boys and young men, and how single mothers can badly mess up their sons.

Namely, had his biological father not walked out of him, or had his mother stayed with the first stepfather (Henry, an upstanding guy Slim genuinely liked), rather than leaving him for a series of scumbags. “I’ve been in prison 4 times and all I could think was “why didn’t they leave me in Rockford with Henry?”-As said above, Slim does want to atone for his past life of crime, and early on he makes it clear that he feels he could have lived a life on the straight and narrow had he come from better circumstances. They both watch and wait for the boss’s downfall”-Similar to the preceding two paragraphs. They’re like the white chumps who hump for the white boss. “A pimp is happy when the whores giggle, it means they’re asleep. Any sucker who believes a whore loves him shouldn’t a fell outta his mammy’s ass.” Everybody gets screwed by the market/the government/both somehow, and the people you’re doing business with don’t care about you anymore than you can financially help them. “A pimp is just a whore who tricks whores, just take your money up front, and what you have to do”-This is a quote that can be very easily applied to any business context. Similarly, if you’re in any sort of authority position (an employer, a teacher, etc.), you can never show your subordinates that you are flustered, angered, or emotionally distraught: your authority will be lost immediately. Thus, while you are (hopefully) not managing a stable of prostitutes, you have to understand that, especially when first attempting to pick up a girl, you want to avoid seeming weak or boring or anything less than your best. “A good pimp doesn’t get paid for screwing, he gets his pay for having the right thing to say to a whore on tap…whores constantly probe for weakness”-While it ideally shouldn’t be this way, anybody reading this website probably acknowledges that sexual relations in the Western world as of 2017 are a good deal more antagonistic and genuinely bitter than is healthy, and that’s not really going to be changed anytime soon. And sex isn’t the only subject Iceberg is surprisingly wise about!
However, as other reviewers have pointed out, much of what he has to say about his relationship with his stable of whores can shine some light on relations between men and women, especially with the sexual climate of 2017 being as divisive and awful as it is. Slim does not idealize his former lifestyle, making it very clear that he was not what anybody would call a good man. To put it very simply: Iceberg Slim (real name Robert) was a black man who became a pimp in the 1930s, before eventually becoming disillusioned with a life of vice and crime, going legitimate and writing several books on his life and times, notably the book Pimp, which is the main source material of this article. And in this second article, we’ll be continuing that trend by looking at one of the most decorated whoremongers the United States has ever produced: Iceberg Slim! In my last “Rogue Learning” article, I conveyed the idea that you can learn just as much from a bad person as you can learn from a paragon of human behavior.
