AN INTRODUCTION TO WHITE HISTORY: THE HISTORY OF WHITE AMERICA is a summary of the concepts, principles and motivating factors that led to the establishment and expansion of the United States of America. What AN INTRODUCTION TO WHITE HISTORY: THE HISTORY OF WHITE AMERICA brings to the forefront is the unusually concentrated role that capitalism and the profit motive have played in United States history; that is, in the political and social development of white America. "It is white Americans' unusual preoccupation with finances and profits that distinguishes them and their institutions from those of all other Americans," writes the author. Therefore, it behooves all other Americans to not underestimate that unusual preoccupation when determining the essence of their relations with white America.Several short opening chapters establish the foundation for all that follows, and the connections are maintained throughout in such a way that the reader can analyze the narrative without subconsciously succumbing to traditional biases. Factors such as what motivated the governments, churches and businessmen of Europe, how the colonists related to each other, how the "founding fathers" clashed with other patriots, how the Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation, why the War Between the States was fought, how slavery ended, and the aim of Reconstruction are revisited, and different conclusions posited.What makes the presentation and perspective of An Introduction to White History exceptional is it is perhaps the first summary of United States history written by a Black historian. This explains why the term "white" is so prominent in the title. Non-white Americans are also principal participants in the history of America, and their interpretations are as legitimate as all others. People in the United States need to pay more attention to narratives that are not the product of unsubstantiated biases."They gambled! White America's colonizers and founding fathers took a huge gamble, and it is to their credit that they did," writes the author. AN INTRODUCTION TO WHITE HISTORY: THE HISTORY OF WHITE AMERICA takes the reader from that point through the Reconstruction period. It is quite the historical voyage.
Young Blacks already know that civil rights is specious, and they have been betrayed by it. NOT TO BE; ESSAYS ON INTEGRATION delves into this issue from four fronts. The title essay is a brief comment on the defrauding of white America by America's white leadership, and how white Americans are handicapped as a result. "The Hispanic Factor" looks at the possibility of African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans forming a political bloc as a means of combating white America's racism. "White People Don't Read Black Books" explores the possibilities of real integration in the United States of America, and "We Changed"reveals the historical process that changed Africans who were shipped to this country as slaves into African-Americans in search of equality.
"We are Black People, We are not dark skinned white people. We need a nation of Our own." With that declaration the stage is set and the sides are made clear as NOT DARK WHITE: THE 4-1-1 ON BLACK NATIONALISM lays out the historical and ideological basis for the establishment of an independent Black government on land that is presently part of the United States of America. NOT DARK WHITE: THE 4-1-1 ON BLACK NATIONALISM is for serious readers and doers who want to actually eliminate the curses of systematic inequality, racism and discrimination that ruin the lives of millions of persons. NOT DARK WHITE is not for those who jump on the bandwagon once it has gained momentum, nor for those who are controlled by fear. It is for those who have enough courage to go beyond the regularly discussed boundaries and imagine other possibilities, other solutions. NOT DARK WHITE not only provides the historical roots and existence of Black self-government in the United States, it relies on existing laws to legitimize Black nationalist claims. NOT DARK WHITE: THE 4-1-1 ON BLACK NATIONALISM ignores the solutions that are disproportionately good for the perpetrators of inequality and racism and focuses on solutions that are good for those who are its victims. For those who are in search of a quick read or easy way out, NOT DARK WHITE: THE 4-1-1 ON BLACK NATIONALISM is not the book to read. But all others, particularly African-Americans who re freedom fighters, NOT DARK WHITE: THE 4-1-1 ON BLACK NATIONALISM is the book to be familiar with.
BLACK SMART: BLACK POWER ENTELECHY is a collection of short essays that encourage Black People to build confidence in themselves by looking within for solutions. As a consequence of enslavement, Jim Crow, anti-Black violence and other forms of racism, Blacks became insecure and developed the tendency to look to outsiders when it came to resolving serious problems. They seemed to have forgotten that their native intelligence, talents and abilities are the greatest and most reliable assets any people could have. To make Black Power all that it can be, to reach its ceiling, Black People must rely on what is native to Black People for guidance; the answers are found in Black history, Black values, Black intelligence, Black initiative and labor, Black politics and economics, etc. BLACK SMART: BLACK POWER ENTELECHY is one of the keys to realization and fulfillment for Black People in the United States of America.
African-Americans are so focused on integrating with white people and securing civil rights that they are leaving themselves vulnerable to elements that pose a serious threat to their well being. The message of PLAYING BLACK CHEAP: Are African-Americans Taking Too Much For Granted is "Be careful."
