INTRODUCTION

This book is for everyone who would like to see America go a different direction. For the pass 100 years, the America union has been a shaky––yet an unyielding empire. It has been involve in several wars, and in its own back yard shared a hidden secret, it is an indebted society and rather xenophobic and unconquerable realm. Its government, although it has many leaders that make its laws, still, somehow finds the way to keep its citizens, especially blacks, in an isolated region. Despite living in this world, in America, for only three decades. I still can say that a country were people say is where all dreams are possible, may soon find herself heading toward total economic collapse. What have brought on America’s problems, is the arrogance coming from its political leaders, where personal gains for themselves seem to be more important then bringing solutions to its unhealthy financial system. Blacks in America can’t help, and even having a black president will only go so far, that the ills of America’s troubles came long before she elected him. It’s Money, Power, Abuse, Injustice and more American Political Games could wake America and black people up. If the effects of slavery couldn’t give Black America the ultimate test that we thought should have, will now be left up to the total destruction of a torn-apart democracy that could. What scares me the most, is this potential crisis coming to our country has barely been talked about, but while we live in a nation filled with racism and…discrimination, what race, culture, are ethnic groups have a chance to talk about this looming disaster. Why so many people out of work, or in prison, and in the streets? What are the many causes of threats to the financial world system? And why are black people, particularly, behind in every social, political, and economic latter in America? The Asians, Koreans, Arabs, and others have been able to come into the Black community and take the wealth from the people and yet will not employ black people in their businesses. This book contends that we must raise the important questions in society, instead of starting wars, are wasting food, and keeping the average citizen in debt. The leadership in America must change for the better, the hope that one day that a healthy economy restores prosperity, families, culture, and jobs. So many people are lost in America; their value has not changed for the better, but for worse. And when that happens, we lose focus on what our roles are in the world. I spent my entire life trying to figure out what my role is in the world. I grew up on the eastside of Oklahoma City as a poor black child. I went to a white school because buses came to pick us up and carried us there. I thought my parents like many black parents believed that going to a white school for education was the best way. Why did I have to travel so far to learn basic skills? What made going to this school worth it and the black school on the eastside not worth it? As I grew stronger and wiser, I understood that I was experiencing of what so many people want to call integration. But, was it really integration or was it experiment that brainwashed a lot of Negroes after learning white folk education versus my own? I read books about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and later would read books on Malcolm X. These two black leaders led me to read about black leaders and historians such as Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Frederick Douglas, Elijah Muhammad, and others. What I felt I was missing in life was not necessarily who they were, but how many lives they changed with their ideas and activism, which made a difference for our race. I look at black people today, and I see a failed attempt to understand our generation because of violence, economic challenges, and psychological issues that must be addressed. In school we did not learn about history and culture, but yet we were educated to know who the American presidents were, or who supposedly discovered the world, or the new America, this society argues it was Christopher Columbus. But, I will argue differently, I had the luxury of taking on my education, and research the findings of slavery and American’s debt. Furthermore, I wanted to know why we did not get reparations for slavery, and not because of the actual enslavement, but for the effects of slavery. I also wanted to know why has the elder generation not take legal actions against America and other European governments for this injustice. Unfortunately, that was not the primary focus, they wanted integration to work and succeed and used civil rights organizations and leaders to confuse and get us off track of the prize.

This book is not to offend anyone. I wrote this book to get the older generation to understand that there are some young people who are ready to lead, prepare to deal with the issues, and to speak out against injustices, rather it be police brutality, slavery, debt enslavement, miseducation, economic injustice, and other political issues surrounding black people in America, and the world. Sadly, the pop culture and hip hop culture have brainwashed the younger generation and it has made us hate ourselves and value the material wealthy that keep distractions for our youth, economic injustice, and other political issues surrounding black people in America, and the world. Sadly, the pop culture and hip-hop culture have brainwashed the younger generation and it has made us hate ourselves and value the material wealth that keeps distractions for our youth. And with that truth comes a huge problem, not just for blacks, but also for Latinos and other minorities, whereby Japanese and Chinese parents have set a different role for their children in their cultures, and are now ready to lead in this global takeover by 2030. The fight that an African American Man and woman have in the United States now is an economic one and must begin now. The generational gap is growing and white wealth to Black is 20 to 1 according to experts. This means, Blacks must look pass desiring to be love by whites and others and create an economic platform for ourselves if they to gain real power.

This book gets us started on what we need to learn and ultimately succeed in the world.

CHAPTER 1

The Bush and Obama Eras

There is a popular ideology that compels Conservatives to continuously argue with Liberals about the necessity of the war in Iraq, and it downright exhausts me. I think the talking heads on both sides of the party line do far too much crying and not enough strategizing.

In truth, winning the war on terrorism is a simple issue, one that should bring to naught bipartisan agendas and finally bring bickering between elected officials to a screeching halt, even if only - and I know this is a big IF - for the sake of the American people. If we are in search of the answer to the age old question Whose fault is it? then let the search end right here. We are all to blame.

Republicans accuse Democrats of aiding terrorists, citing a Bush-era bill with a push-out date as proof that Liberals want the enemy to win the war. The Democrats still blame Bush (feel free to make your own determination of which Bush) and the Republicans for starting and jumping into a war without having the firm support of our allies. It’s difficult to clearly decide precisely which party is to blObamaame for the country’s current direction.

Is it the Republicans? Say what you will, but their Bush-era strategies for resolving conflicts didn’t seem to work. The No Approach method of problem solving doesn’t work. Yet, Conservatives have used this strategy repeatedly over the past sixteen years. President Obama has experienced this technique first-hand.

Is it the free-wheeling, socially-accepting Democrats? Admittedly, I am convinced they probably should have been less concerned about party loyalty and more
