Description

The purpose of this book is to define whether and to what extent white supremacy or loyalty to racial oppressors stifles self-reliance and self-determination. Measures are given to help African-Americans determine where they stand in regards to being self-reliant and self-determinant from the oppressing class. The most affected on a continuum is commonly described as a "house Negro or slave." The least affected and dependent is described as a "field Negro or black." The "house slave" is subservient to his master or their descendants while the "field slave" is more than less his or her own master. The book examined how this dichotomy developed over the last 300 or more years of African slavery and dehumanization. It explains how this nation's wealth was generated by this crime against humanity. But to benefactors, they remain in denial consciously and are subconsciously struggling with guilt or animus that perpetuates the original sin. The book identifies the leading "house slaves" and "field slaves" today and their role in the struggle for human rights and dignity. It examines the intergenerational trauma experienced by all Africans in Diaspora whose families have been subjected to slavery, dehumanization, racial discrimination and animus. The reasons behind this subjugation, extrinsically and intrinsically, is examined. Strategies to break this cycle to improve their socioeconomic status through black capitalism or integration are reviewed. Questions raised include whether substantial progress can be achieved through consumption as opposed to production or enterprise. Examined is the impact of white resentment spawned by Trump's stolen presidency upon our economic development and inferences that "identity politics" should be used to promote gains and self-determination. This knowledge should be used to foster the means to close the wealth gap that is widening.
