Abstract: The slavery history has distorted the normal ethical relationship between the African Americans and the white. The imbalance of social evaluation system and ethics has made them fall into the confusion of identity and dereliction of male family responsibilities. The ethical dilemmas confronted in their real life seriously disturb the life of African Americans living in the south, which deprive them of enjoying equal rights and status with the white. In order to survive in such a society, the African Americans must face up to reality, recognize themselves and with consistent efforts complete their selfrealization. Meanwhile, the black males have to actively participate in identity construction to regain dignity of men and to remodel masculinity.

Key words: African American, identity confusion, ethical choice, ethical thinking
