Description

...a message to the Black Youth.This is a compilation of individual essays written during the summer-fall of 1992. The essays are designed to inspire thought within the Black Mind. These writings are primarily targeted toward the Black Youth of this day, of which I am a part of. I am not a Master of these teachings, but these teachings I wish to Master.They say that my generation is not intelligent enough to read a book. I say that They are wrong. It is just that They are not writing about anything of interest that is relevant to our lives!And when They do write something, they have to write in the perfect King's English to impress their Harvard Professors! Here we are with a book in one hand, and a dictionary in the other, trying to understand what in the hell the author is talking about!If you have got something to say, just say it! We are not impressed by your 27-letter words, or your Shakespearian style of writing. The Black Youth of today don't give a damn about Shakespeare!!! This ain't no damn poetry contest! Wear are dealing with the life, blood, and salvation of our entire Black Nation!If you want to reach the People, you have to embrace us where we are, and then take us where we need to go. So, these writings are from my generation and for my generation with respect and love.If no one will teach, love and guide us, then we will teach love and guide ourselves.Peace.

If you like aggressive authors then you'll like this book

Tried to read this book several times. Dnt want to feel like I wasted my money. This book was recommended by a friend but I felt like the author was yelling at me. The author remonds me of a old DMX song. (The message may be good but it's so aggressive and loud, that it's hard to comprehend). I will probably GIFT it for one of the young adults in my family, this holiday season. They may feel differently about it. The writing style is geared towards a younger generation.

Find the you that may be drowning or comatose by the prevailing European narrative..!!

Does anyone know who Andre Akil is? I can not find a bio or any information indicating that he exist...great and inspiring work though. The work communicates well and imho will leave the reader with a renewed sense of self that acknowledges the whole of what it means to be black, righteous, awake and driven with God directed purpose!

A must read

This is an interesting book. The information provided in this book puts things in a different perspective. There are some parts of this book that made me take a step back really evaluate my surroundings. I would not recommend this book for children under the age of 15 or 16 because of some of the harsh language.
