An Arrogant Nation This website was created because of the exposure that it could possibly give in helping publish my book. It was created to generate controversy of my book, which speaks of issues that are kind of shrugged off by this government and some of its people, both white and black. There are many hot issues in this book, some that will probably make me quite a number of friends, and others that will most likely produce a certain kind of dislike for me, for my opinions may not resonate like a symphony of strings to White America, but more like a dirge with drums and trumpets in other respects, of which Black America is more in tuned with. Simply put, my writing is not a comedy, and the issues that I bring up are issues that may cause more controversy to spring forth; truth has a way knocking down walls of silence. What is being discussed is done in order to generate mega publicity, but the reason for the creativity is based on what this government has done, hasn’t done, and continues doing, and my feelings as an African American Person of Color. Now that my book has been published, this site will serve to showcase and help in the promotion of my book. It will continue to showcase other articles, which I have written, which speak about our government’s management, and mismanagement.

Born In The Wrong Country speaks of what this country hasn't done, and the needs that aren't being met when it comes to the concerns of its own people within this country. It addresses the how to factor that is involved, something that seems to be lacking in both government and many of its citizens. It also looks at its African American People of Color, and the dilemma still facing them as citizens of this country. It focuses on various kinds of discrimination on different levels, and places in this country, and sheds light on possible blessings that were thrown away. The things that this government has ignored are shown by what their people are lacking, because of what they as a government simply refuse to acknowledge. As a note, Born In The Wrong Country was actually finished and copyrighted in the spring of 2005; this was before hurricane Katrina and the disaster it left. It was before those unanswered questions of our government began to crop up, and before their almost total lack of help. This same government, of which I speak, glossed over issues as though nonexistent. At the same time, this same government continued to throw billions of dollars to foster a war, which they started by attacking and invading Iraq. This book simply echoes the inactions of our government, strengthening all that I point out in Born In The Wrong Country. It gives further credence to the question that is asked in Born, where has America gone? Has our country really moved, and have they forgotten to tell us? |
Born In The Wrong Country also focuses on what could be done if the United States would really change its arrogant attitude about saving this country, that is, if this were really a caring nation that would take care of this country and its people. It never allows the reader or America to forget about the slavery issue that this country created, which created the Black and White issue. Born In The Wrong Country points out how this is still such a great force in the lives of the African American People of Color. Born In The Wrong Country speaks about an apology that was never given to the AAPC; it also tells how they continue to support this American government in war, even though they have never been treated fairly. Born In The Wrong Country displays the cause of atrocities against the African American People of Color, by pointing out the flagrant abuse exhibited by the White forefathers of this country. It also points out that these same forefathers, who created slavery within this nation, would now make the policies and the laws that would govern the AAPC. By pointing out certain behaviors and things that were allowed, and continue to be allowed to happen to the African American People of Color, after the abolition of slavery; Born In The Wrong Country asks where had slavery gone? As one begins reading, they will cover many sections; one section in particular is called "Jesus Is Not Coming Back Right Now; Take Care of Yourself!" Another section is, "Remembering Slavery", "White Man's Cruelty", "Stolen Children", and "Crimes the White Man Has to Answer for." These are just a few of the many subjects that the author speaks of. The author speaks of his feelings, and the feelings of his people, that are embedded in his mind like a knife, also the forgiveness and the love that he feels. http://www.businessintheblack.com/?id=2 "Born In The Wrong Country," is now on sale, and can be purchased through Lulu.com at http://www.lulu.com/content/4920936; it is also now listed on various online retailers, such as www.amazon.com; www.barnesandnoble.com, where it can now be purchased through the links above.
