Sad but true, and time for us to act

+ What the empire has done, and what we can do to heal the world.
+ Worldly wakeup call of history in the making!

Perkins once again tells it like it is. We are part of the problem. Our addiction to cheap clothing and exercise equipment (put together in tropical sweatshops by people living only marginally better than inmates of Nazi prison camps) fuels the system. We have to change, to live sustainable ...

Why All Black People Are Coming to an End
Clinton L. Black

Clinton Black, 2007

Could Have Been a Little Better

I like this book very much. The book is mostly 45% Fact and Statistics, and 55% plain common sense. If you are black, I am sure you won't hesitate to agree with most of the points Clinton Black is trying to make. But if you are from a different race, the argument are not that convincing. But of ...

It Ain't All Good: Why Black Men Should Not Date White Women
John Johnson

African American Images, 2004

Not just men

+ John Johnson is 110% Correct!!!

The problem with this book is that it is focused on African American men. Though at a lesser rate, African American women are also dating EuroAmerican men. Some claim that this is a reaction to African American men dating outside of their community, maybe, maybe not. Regardless, I think women ...
