Excerpt VI (six) from my book "RACISM and HATE: an AMERICAN REALITY". In this excerpt we’re taking a look at the "Separate but Equal” laws that were so instrumental in suppressing the 14th amendment rights of millions of Americans. In 1872, as reconstruction was winding down here in Georgia and the political power was once again in the hands of the forces who was in power prior-to the Civil War, the legislation here in Georgia changed the wording in the " school act of 1872" to read "Separate but Equal when Practicable" the two words "when Practicable" was added to…

The book " RACISM and HATE: an AMERICAN REALITY " adds context to the "Economic Inequality" debate through the eyes of one who belong to the minority group, Americans of African descent, who has been at the very bottom of the "Economic Totem Pole" since and before the formation of the country. It presents a perspective unfiltered by academia but colored by the harsh realities of life at the bottom. It debunks the "False Equivalence" that was put in place after the Civil War, that suggested that the "Economic Status" of the newly freed Americans of African descent was synonymous…

Michael Jordan’s comment on being a “Racist”

  8 months ago     2689 Views     Leave your thoughts  

Could it be that Michael Jordan has confused “Racism” with “Hate”? It is difficult for me to say what another person's phobias are, including those of Michael Jordan, but in my new book “RACISM and HATE: an AMERICAN REALITY” I make the argument that”Racism” by definition is a phobia possessed by and instituted by White people here in this country to create a social order among the African slaves, the poor Whites and the rich Whites that controlled the slave business. The dictionary definition of Racism; !. A belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine…

Excerpt VIII (eight) from my new book “RACISM and HATE: an AMERICAN REALITY” is truly a treasure and is worth price of admission alone. It’s a rare piece of work from W.E.B Dubois. It was first printed in the 1947, November edition of the “CRISIS MAGAZINE”. I use it with their granted permission. During that period the NAACP was in a desperate struggle for equal rights and W.E.B. Dubois put together a petition to present to the newly formed United Nations. It sought to make a claim for social justice for Americans of African descent from this newly constructed body…

Excerpt VII (seven) from my new book “RACISM and HATE: an AMERICAN REALITY” I speak for the “SILENT LAMB” who was born a Slave, raised a Slave, and who died a Slave, without a “VOICE” I first got serious about tracing my family's genealogy here in Georgia while recuperating from prostrate surgery in April of 1999. Being born here in Georgia in 1945 I knew as a child a lot of my uncles and aunts and at least three of my grandparents. I was able to get back to my great great grandfather, Dan Cameron, on the 1870 U.S.Census pretty…

Excerpt V (five) from my new book ” RACISM and HATE: an AMERICAN REALITY “looks at the chapter that deals with “REPARATIONS”

Excerpt V (five) from my new book " RACISM and HATE: an AMERICAN REALITY “looks at the chapter that deals with "REPARATIONS" As the "Economic Inequality" debate heats up we as a people, Americans of African descent, cannot allow the ideology of the "conservative right" take a snapshot of conditions in our community today and conclude, what is epitomized in the notion of Congressman Paul Ryan, that suggests this " Inner-City Cultural Dilemma" is somehow “Self Inflicted” by the Black Community, without us, providing a historical context of the root cause. This” Inner-City Cultural Dilemma” that Congressman Paul Ryan is…

Part III of a series of 12 excerpts from the new book “RACISM and HATE:an AMERICAN REALITY”

This is the third excerpt from my book “RACISM and HATE: an AMERICAN REALITY.” For the last day of Black history month I thought I would deviate from the "Economic Inequality" theme of the first two posts and throw in my own “little known black history fact,” by looking at the origin of the “American Racism” that the book primarily concerns itself with. Throughout most of my life I was always perplexed by the part that religion played in the country's history and how it coexisted with slavery. When I started researching the subject matter back in 2008 it slowly…

My second post from my book "RACISM and HATE: an AMERICAN REALITY" involving the "Economic Inequality" debate that's front and center in the country today,is perhaps the most devastating and longest lasting of all of the injustices that occurred during the hundred years after the Civil War. This is the story of “The Southern Homestead Act of 1866" During and after the civil war President Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans was in consultation with the various groups who were advocating for the overthrow of slavery including several free Black leaders like Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth and a host of…

The Missing Piece In The”Enonomic Inequality” Debate.

  11 months ago     16038 Views     1 Comment  

My book “RACISM and HATE: an AMERICAN REALITY” seeks to fill the void in the conversation that is going on in the country today, dealing with “Economic Inequality.” From President Obama to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio the acknowledgment of this “Economic Inequality” seems to be unanimous throughout the political spectrum, from the extreme right to the progressive left. Both of those extreme, however, seems to be blind to the elephant in the room, which is the devastating effect that “Racism” had on the equation. The book, which took some five years to research, first I had to trace some 230 years of…
